Week 31 was full of activities as usual. Beautiful spring weather and longer days have given us a boost of energy, and we took not one, but two field trips this week. The first one was a road trip to the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco. We had been there before a few years ago, and we loved it then. This time around it was as much fun. It turned out to be a great family outing/filed trip.
Our second -- what I would consider a field trip as well -- was to the George Bush museum. Our plan was to pay our respects to the late Mrs. Bush which we did by signing the condolences book, walking through the museum, and going as close to the grave as we were allowed. The additional exhibition in the museum was titled Leonardo da Vince: Machines in Motion. It was a small but very educational exhibition about the different inventions of the great Renaissance man.

| Science. One of Andrew's science experiments required us to extract chlorophyll from a green leaf. |
 |
| Pure chlorophyll in alcohol solution is the prettiest green. |

| Only a few more practices left before the concert in May. |
 |
| This looks like recess. Actually just free time between choir practices. |
 |
| One morning brought quite a mix of wildlife to our pond. We had an egret ... |

| ... and a beaver who stayed for good. |
