Science Fair
Zion worked hard on his science fair project, an exploration of temperature and physics. He won an award for the most creative project in 6th grade!
Zen was on hand to help at the presentation.
Mexico Lindo y Querido...
I picked up this jersey for Zen in Mexico right before my surgery--it's a favorite of his!

Decorating Eggs
We decorated eggs a few times the week before Easter. We were joined one day by my student, Sergei. We went through dozens of eggs, but made yummy egg salad with them soon afterwards.
The Easter Bunny!
Zen met the Easter bunny. Our child is not too greedy--when he found out that the Easter bunny brings candy and toys, he asked for "wots and wots of tings--every ting!" He was pretty satisfied with the small amount of candy and the underwear that he got, though. 
ReptileFest 2011
Zion joined the rest of the Chicago Herpetology Club and showed his animals at the annual festival. He reconnected with a kindrid python owner that we met last year. We helped educate the hundreds of people that passed through that day. I especially enjoyed being down on the floor, watching the wonder on the faces of the kids as they touched and handled Eragon the snake and Annabeth the leopard gecko. Percy, the gecko who died a few months ago, was greatly missed, but we did NOT come home with any new reptiles!
