Adventures of Seamus' Hat: Wing shop

Wing shop - bogo

So after camp Izabel organizes Seamus to play fairies. They have to repair their wings. Izabel advertises her wing shop to us, "You have to come to the wing shop tonight. It is buy one get a second pair of wings free. You get a second pair of hiking wings for free when you buy one pair." That's my girl. Seamus chose a pair in green.

Izabel's camp continues and so Seamus got a day of adventure. We started with the library and a story-time. Then we had fun at the park (as much fun as can be had in the incredible heat and always looming thunderstorms). He blew bubbles with which he is obsessed. Thanks to Uncle Geoff and Miss Mandy he had the large Lightning McQueen bubble wand that worked perfectly. We made lots of extra large bubbles that drew attention from the kids walking by. We also flew his birthday kite. For a kite that cost $1 at Walmart it flew pretty well. Sorry the one video is sideways; I forgot that quirk on my phone.

After the park and a few errands we used a coupon for gellato. Seamus got half cookies and cream and half double chocolate chocolate chip (made with 5 kinds of chocolate from 5 different countries according to the sign) and Mom got half dulce de leche and half amaretto chocolate chip.
When we picked Izabel up from camp the kids played in the park with their friends for a few minutes. Since she was in camp all day learning about transcendentalism - seriously that was the schedule for Wednesday these are the only pics with IQH in them.

library story-time all about rabbits.

Kite flying

Figuring out which flavor is always a challenge with Seamus

Quite a spread

Virtual Academy???

Izabel is 8 now and attends Colorado Virtual Academy (COVA). It is her 4th year there. She is in 3rd grade but will be in 4th sometime this winter.
What is a virtual academy? It is a charter school (part of the Adams 12 district) that is part of the public school system. We receive all her materials, some of them physically and others on the online school (OLS). As her parents we are her learning coaches and she has a teachers she works with online. She must attend 180 days of school and 968 hours in the year just like all public school children in Colorado, but she can do that at her pace and timing. That means we may cut a day short if it just is not working or we have an activity and make it up later even on the weekends. Because of Izabel's unique situation - ADHD and her abilities in science, math, and art but need for support in language arts and the support with pacing and staying on task (that is as her learning coaches we can be sure she is getting at least what other kids in Colorado are) this form of school is the best option for her right now.

My Hat

Seamus is on his third hat now. this one is stolen from his mother; it was her hiking hat. Everywhere he goes we now hear, "Where did you get that hat? He looks like an adventurer. No really, where did you get that hat?" The answer is that we have had it so long we cannot remember.

Seamus outgrew his zoo hat but he had 2 of them. My first hat went on hikes - was lost and found by another hiker, then lost and found hanging on a tree on the way back to the trail-head, went to museums, and all over the high plains of Colorado.

Every time I wear my zoo hat someone asks, "Have you been to the zoo today? Your hat says that." No matter what time of day, what I am doing , someone ALWAYS says that exact statement.

Why does the hat go everywhere? Seamus is sensitive to light - part of his Sensory Processing Disorder and cannot stand having the sunlight in his eyes. Reason 2 - Seamus has short hair and doesn't want a sunburn especially at altitude we get a lot of UV - check out the EPA UV index to see if you need a hat (link below). Reason 3 - it is a cool hat that is comfortable.
