Thanksgiving Dinner @ Emily's class

Emily's Kindergarten class held a Thanksgiving Dinner today for the parents. It was very nice. Emily got to cut the first piece of Turkey, and she made her famous dip for everyone!

Emily's field trip

Emily had a class trip to an olive grove(she's a pro now), and we saw how the men use special air powered fingers to pick the olives. Very cool, and Emily got to try one herself. Then we went to where they make the olive oil, and then to an Italian Elementary School for lunch! Great Day!

Walter, Andrew & Emily got to bowl for a fundraiser for their cubscout pack 007! Great time was had by all!
