Cam and Bennett began their day sitting at the writing center making maps. When the maps were done the boys used them to build a hammer and boat out of the magnetic shapes. While they worked the boys alternated singing.  Cam sang “Bob the Builder” and Bennett belted out a Lightening McQueen worker song. Eventually the boys had the words messed up, and between bouts of laughter they sang a combination of both songs.  Chloe was excited to join them in their design venture while Ruby opted for the watercolors in the art room. Nate got the fruit and vegetable stand ready for the day. When everything was in tiptop shape he made a sandwich for Anke with fruits and vegetables. Yum yum!

Outside, Oscar, Collin and Cooper raced for a big ball to bounce on. Rock immediately morphed into a super hero with the name “Rock on space ship to the rescue.” Reed made a makeshift parachute by strapping a towel to his back with a necklace and Zach was Ben 10. Meanwhile, Ruby used the slide and Cam, Maddy, Nate and Bennett jumped aboard a pirate ship and sailed off into the ocean.  Eliana, Seren and Mila sat together on the bench near the bike path while Chloe stood on the bridge taking everything in. Before too long, Oscar hopped on a scooter. Mila, Eliana, Seren, Ruby, Zach and Reed followed suit and rode trikes around the path.

Upstairs, Nate used magnets at the teacher table while Chloe and Maddy worked with blocks and cars. The girls build a carwash complete with a dryer. Mila poured beans while mom Eliana cared for baby Seren and Rock hot glued a special box.

Downstairs, Collin, Reed, Zach, Cooper and Bennett built with the ramps. Ruby prepared food in the kitchen and minded the babies.  After a while, Bennett joined Cam with the trains and cars on the table and Cooper climbed up into loft. Oscar and Reed wandered over to the capes, found one they like and proudly wore them around.

Have a good night.
