KONOS Obedience - Kings and Queens, photo summary

We have really enjoying our KONOS activities so far.   KONOS is a good fit for our family.  Doing all of the great, hands on activities really keeps us into the unit.  I think they may actually remember studying Kings and Queens, even at this young age.   We've  had a tea party and made a queen cake.  We've played checkers, and they have put on skits for me in their rooms.   J has a Mega Block castle where they pretend to slay dragons and save the princess!  They have been dressing up almost daily.  

Playmobil Fun Park

Today we went to Playmobil Fun Park which is about 30 miles from the house.  This was the first time we've been. It's $1 to get in but then you are tempted by the store on the way out. I let the kids get one thing and they wanted take a long kits.  We met up with some friends there and stayed for more than 2 hours.  It was a perfect escape from the S. Florida sun and time to have fun with friends.

What we have been up to

Sorry for not keeping up. Not even close. Every time I think of doing this I think it will be too much work at that moment and then I never get back to it. I'd love to have a nice history of our days so I'm going really try harder and carve our a little time to do it, MUCH more often. :)

All about me! B @ 3
