T:	What a beautiful morning!  Mornings like this make me feel very grateful for being at a school in the National Park.  The weather was perfect, and it was fun exploring parts of campus we have never been to!  What was your favorite part of our Earth Day celebration?
Caroline:	My favorite part was when they were singing the song.
T:	They Pawpaw song, or the Good Morning song in the ampitheater?
Caroline:	The Paw Paw song.
Griffin:	Seeing my brother and sister!
Alex:	I’ve never heard the Pawpaw song.  I used to never be in this school.
Andie:	Well, my favorite part was eating a LOT of apples.
T:	We did eat a lot of apples!  I wonder how many apples were sliced to fill our tub?
Andie:	My other favorite part was when they were singing.
Quinn:	My favorite part was eating apples!

Nathaniel:	I went to two birthday parties in one day!  I had my brother’s birthday party in the morning, and Forest’s in the afternoon!  Theo’s was at Urban Air.
Andie:	Well, Joe didn’t have a fun Saturday.  Flat tire.  Even Nathan did on the same day.  The police truck had to take me.  Only Joe got the flat tire and he was scared because we were in the car.  Me and Addie and Joe were in the thing but the police took us to McDonald’s!  I got a burger and some Sprite.
Caroline:	I didn’t know kids were allowed to have Sprite!
Andie:	I can have Coke.
Forest:	I liked when Luke kept running down the hall.

Daniel:	I went to Target and I got a Switch.  I got another one.
Naomi:	I went to the store with Dada and I got a new ball.  I stayed the night at Papa’s with Mama and Cole.  Dada was at home.
Andie:	It was like I was going to jail because the windows had bars.  When Joe got a flat tire, it’s silly.  It was candy!  Candy was inside Joe’s flat tire.  I got to drive with Aunt Jessica.
Alex:	When I was at Forest’s birthday, I also went to a sleepover.  I went to soccer.  I got to make something that my mom didn’t even know how to make.
T:	Did you go to the Daddy-Daughter dance?
Alex:	Oh yeah!  I got to eat cookies.  I got to play with balloons and glow bracelets.
Griffin:	I went to football with Quinn.
Daniel:	I went to Forest’s birthday party and I have three Switches, because I had two and the one from Target makes three.
Troy:	When I was on the home day, we stayed up late and Mama and me did a new game.  An excavater game!  Instead it was a mining one.  My mom bought me the hugest biggest machine ever.  It had the biggest digger thing ever.
Gwen:	I played a game but Mom ended up watching TV and we switched it around!  She wanted to watch a trailer.  It was a trailer of Emily’s Science World.
Alexander:	I don’t remember.
Ashton:	I liked seeing my brothers.
