Other Stuff from June

Quinn has been going to OT for about 3 years in SoCal.  
This lovely lady has been amazing with Quinn.  She gets him and she helps him with the stuff that is challenging for him.  He would go once a week and always give me an \”aww, man, do I have to go\”.  On his last day he shed some tears because he was going to miss her and his OT buddies.    This kid never ceases to amaze me.

Purple rain.

Date night.  I send a picture to Danielle to make sure my outfit is ok.

Quinn\’s class worked in groups to create a Charlotte\’s Web themed carnival game.  Quinn told his teacher that his dad has a workshop and they can build something really cool.

The finished product.  Quinn\’s design and a little help from Dad.

Quinn\’s class got a visit from a group of 4th Graders to talk about their transition to 4th grade.  One of the teachers is the \”technology teacher\” and everyone wants him next year.

I found this blow up croc on sale at the grocery store and knew it would be a hit.

Quinn couldn\’t wait to give it a try…in his pj\’s.

Quinn\’s bff Hayden and other friends at Hayden\’s birthday party.

2nd to last day of school and I found Quinn and a new-ish friend from class sitting quietly and reading together.  

Fun at field day.  First up was a dance party and the kids started a conga line.

Hot kids after Field Day enjoying some popsicles.  

Fun Visit with Mae

We had lots of fun over the last week or so with Barb/Mae.

First stop was the pirate festival in the Ventura Harbor.   We had lunch overlooking the water and enjoyed a nice afternoon.

Home to our nice warm pool.

Oh Sonic!

We checked out a sculpture garden on the UCLA campus.  It was a beautiful setting to take in the artwork.

Then it was on to the Hammer Museum where the favorite part is the spinning chairs.

There was a very cool meditation spot set up with peaceful gong music.

We also went to one of our favorite spots, Leo Carrillo Beach.    This boy can climb some rocks.

These two decided to take the over-the-rocks and down the beach route.

I kept hearing this loud noise and looked over to these rocks where there were lots and lots of sea lions.   It\’s the first time I\’ve ever seen them in this spot.

Can you spot Quinn in this picture?  (hint…he\’s under the orange back).  He had fun scaring people as they walked by.    It was a wonderful way to spend our last day with Mae.

Finishing up 3rd Grade

Just like that.  Quinn has finished the 3rd Grade.  And we are so proud of him!
Here is the first day and the last day of 3rd Grade.  We like his new long-ish hair.  

Did we mention that he got straight A\’s and participated in a special luncheon last week with the principal Dr. Sellers.  They also award the kids for Perfect Punctuality vs Perfect Attendance.  They want sick kids to stay home.

Quinn with his amazing teacher Mrs. Tracy.  Yes, they are about the same height.

One last picture of these about to be 4th Graders!

Heading home with his buddies!

Party at our house.  These smart boys engineered a slide into the pool.

A great way to end the 3rd Grade!
