This week Dub had lots of things going on that I forgot to prep my post! He’s out of school next week I’m trying to figure out a work/outing/teaching schedule, as well as running our Amazon store, shuffling him to Dance and Swim Monday through Friday… it’s been hectic. Thank goodness for Sean that he can shuffle him to swim on some days and help out with Amazon stuff.

Field Trip
This week I volunteered to go with Dub class to their field trip to the Los Angeles Natural History Museum. I’ve been there countless times. I practically grew up in the museum since we were there every weekend when I was growing up. I was assigned the boys of the class, 5 7 year olds! We had about 3 hours for them to see everything in there and thankfully I new where things were!
We hit the African animals exhibit, the North American Animal exhibit, the dinosaurs, we zipped through the Los Angeles History, literally we just walked in and walked out so we could get to the Nature Lab with all the bugs. What boy doesn’t like bugs, right? We got through it all in time for lunch and then they say, “let’s see the rocks!”. What?! Boys want to see gemstones? uh hmm, I was not expecting that so after lunch we had time to go back in to see ROCKS before we met the rest of the class at the designated area. LONG DAY… and it gets longer.
Swim Team
Dub was asked to join the swim team as part of the LA84 Foundation. Registration started same day as the field trip and first swim session was later that evening! Poor Dub, walking the field trip and now the swim team later, I know he was BEAT and then…

Dance Recital
Tuesday, he had a dance recital where he performed in 4 pieces with most of the dancers Anne Pennypacker teaches.
- Rockstar Popstar – “Chillin’ Like A Villian” from Descendants 2, he played King Benjamin
- Lyrical – “Perfect” by Ed Sheenan
- Musical Theatre – “The Greatest Showman” from The Greatest Showman
- Jazz Theatre – “This is Me” from The Greatest Showman
Her classes are through the parks and rec for Long Beach, Los Alamitos and Seal Beach. We bounce between all of these depending what Dub wants to dance and what city is offering the class. Los Alamitos does charge extra for “non residents” so that’s a bit of a downer. Dub wants to try tap next fall so we’ll see how he feels then about it and that shiny shirt, he now wants to wear it everyday! NO!
Hope you enjoyed this post of what has been going on for my 2 days, quick and hopefully short.
