Inkheart. (movie)

Omg it's Chaucer!! Well, the cute guy who played Chaucer in Heath Ledger's

Do you think I'm watching too many movies? It's Mom's fault.

Loved this movie.

4/23 My 40th birthday went by quietly... as quietly as it can with two kids. We spent our morning in the woods and ordered dinner in to avoid riding in the rain. 4/25 Had one of Hobbit's friends over for the day. We tried to do everything! Playground, play clay, rode scooters, blew bubbles, and even erupted a paper maché volcano. It was a good day.  4/26 Botanical Garden  Is there a better way to review the Ecology section than an ecological scavenger hunt in a Botanical Garden? I don't think so. (Got a sister section to come too!) We took them to the Botanische Tuin Zuidas , which is run by the Vrije Universität and only a block from our school! 4/26, 27 Konigsdag (King's (birth)Day) Netherlands celebrates the king's birthday by putting on orange gear (an homage to his heritage in the House of Orange) and either heading to a block party or a town-wide garage sale.  We started the night before at a King's Night party at the mall. They had d...

Friesland Trip, Netherlands

On a school trip with the DP1 (junior) students I traveled to Friesland for a three days! We stayed at a Sailing School, Zeilschool de Veenhoep, where we canoe, sail, and built rafts! We took a day in the city of Leeuwarden, and visited the museum.  The sailing school has barracks style rooms (with little room for chargers) but the living room and other seating areas are lovely! Natural wood beams, large windows with views of the water, and very friendly family as staff.  On the first day we settled in and I ran off with the group doing canoes! At first there were not enough canoes, but a couple boys came back very quickly and I hopped in. It was only a short route but enough for kids who've never done it before. I missed canoeing; I think I haven't done it in six years! We all bussed to the other sailing school site to have a joint dinner (the kids aren't keen on being split from some of their friends). They have a lovely outdoor area at Zeilschool Pean Friesland! And afte...

Day Out with Thomas at B&O Railroad Museum

Image
May 14, 2021. Thomas the Tank Engine came to the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore, MD. At just 2.5 hrs away, I booked tickets. We decided to make it a weekend in Baltimore. We booked rooms, stayed the night before, and the very first thing you get to see is Thomas! A "real, with a face" Thomas. Not to be confused with a "real Thomas" aka LB&SCR E2 class Engine. (Spoilers at the very end.) p ⚠️⚠️ The rest may contain information that is unsuitable for young Thomas fans. Akin to Santa, if you catch my drift. ⚠️⚠️ The Engine at this Day Out with Thomas may be more of a caboose than an engine. The face moves and he toots, which is cool, but when he took us out on our ride, the train was actually pulled by a B&O diesel. At happened to catch it pulling out with another excursion.  There is a Thomas, in Japan, that appears to be a full size working engine (if not Thomas's actual model)....
