Today was our big end of the year field study to Huntington Beach State Park. The trip included a dolphin boat cruise of the coast line, a tour of Atalaya and the beach at the state park. It was hot, but overall everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves. It was a long day, and I am writing and posting this update on the bus ride home, so many parents can see the fun we had even before their child makes it home! See you soon.

Not that I’m huge fan of musicals, but when they are done right it can be a great experience. I saw this one last year, and was amazed by this song!

Bobby and Joey love it, too! It is one of there favorite songs. The singing is unreal.

Heard this song on my way to school this morning. Loved it… been stuck in my head ever since. Hope you like it too. The Rolling Stones are an icon band!
