The other evening when we were talking about our days, Anna mentioned a "duck and cover" drill that they had at school. I rather naively thought that it was similar to the earth quake drills in SF. But as the discussion progressed, this was not duck, duck, goose.
Henry shouted out," Oh yeah, we all had to do it, I always go for the 2nd shelf in the closet behind the paint cans so I won't get shot first." Hmmm I thought what kind of drill is this? Anna and Teddy both agreed with Henry they all had to hide in a closet in the classroom and be very quiet while the teacher locks the door and some other administrator walks around the hallways checking the rooms to make sure the doors are locked and that the children are out of sight.
On a more fun note, this week-end we drove to a public park about 10 minutes from our house. We were going to all rent bikes but they didn't have the proper size for Anna so we opted for an hour long horse back ride. As we were riding we saw zebras, w(v)ildebeest, and giraffes. Pretty amazing!
Today, as the kids were moaning about the late arrival to school this morning, Anna piped up," I saw 2 baby giraffes on the side of the road!" We aren't in SF anymore!
