AHA... it's AHAS!

Upon returning from all our adventures this summer, we made our way to yet another 2 weeks of fun & learning.

Through Emily, we learned of a very exciting opportunity for Christion.

An organization called AHAS (At Home At School) provides a diverse 4 week summer program for kids. Downside... it was in Orchards, Washington & we had to drive 40 minutes to & from each day. Plus side... we missed the first 4 weeks of it & saved 2 weeks of gas expenses!!



Actually, the plus side list could go on & on...



*they provided both breakfast & lunch



*the kids got to choose 2 different electives to take each day (including things like bridge building, music, art, newsroom, quiltmaking & much more)



*the focus of the program was "RESPECT"



*they included field trips & even a petting zoo










*BEST PART... it was FREE!!!


Ari & I entertained ourselves with playdates with Alex & Ms. Heidi, as well as storytimes at Barnes & Noble & other park playing.









CJ said it was a GREAT experience & he would love to do it again next summer!
