The school year is winding down for everyone. It's finals week at UCI, and Caden only has a couple more weeks of 3rd grade. This past week brought the end of spring baseball, the year-end Open House at Caden's school, a piano recital, and the Blue and Gold dinner, where the Cub Scouts in Pack 607 advance to the next rank.
It was great to go to Caden's school on Thursday evening to see all of the things that Caden and his classmates have been working on this year! His teacher had everyone go on a scavenger hunt around the classroom to check out their writing, projects, and displays.
On Saturday, Caden performed several songs, including one of his own compositions. The piece he wrote, called Run From the Monster, tells a story of someone trapped in a maze who is ultimately rescued.
On Sunday morning, we headed out early to check out an antique market up in Santa Monica. It was at the Santa Monica airport which, unbeknownst to us, is also home to a really neat aviation museum. After wandering around the market - and buying a cool fountain made of recycled faucets and plumbing fixtures - we headed over to the museum. Finn was amazed and somewhat overwhelmed at the jets and planes, including the front end of a Boeing 727 that protruded out of the building, allowing kids to sit in the cockpit inside the building - with all of the lights and dials lit up - and look outside.
And this evening was the Blue and Gold dinner, where Caden earned his Bear badge and a gold arrow point.
Finn has been doing a great job using the potty. He became interested after watching the older kids at school and now tries the potty chair at almost every diaper change.

Such a busy week! Caden, you must've been proud to show your parents around the classroom. Your scouting activities are very impressive, too. Finn sure is growing up, and looks very proud! We love to see your activities, and wish we could have been there to share them with you.
