Blog 411

This blog was created for our friends and family who don't get to see us -- well, Jonathan and Elise, really -- as often as they'd like. I'm trying to keep you all updated on their milestones and their day-to-day activities. I also hope this will serve as sort of a journal for them as well, something for them to read when they are older that chronologues their lives and adventures. When I can, I'll post pictures and maybe even videos to help bridge the distance.

This blog is Part 2 of the Life of the Hardwicks. This edition will focus on our new lives in Atlanta, GA, that began in July 2013.

2014_01_27 Monday

From Elise's school:
Hola from Peru! Today we traveled to South America. The kids learned all about Peru. X was very surprised that Peru has rain forests, he thought those were in China! Peru also has several very large mountains. X shared that she's seen a large mountain while she was riding in her grandma's car. Elise said that she saw a big mountain when she went to Stone Mountain. The kids also learned about the kinds of crafts made in Peru. They saw pictures of handmade dolls, bags and necklaces. They made their own Peruvian bags in art. The kids colored their bags and then added yarn accents. Later, after learning about the animals of Peru, the kids colored a llama to place in their bags. X shared that he has read a book about llamas before called Llama Llama Mad at Mama. X commented that a llama looks like a horse with a lot of hair. We discussed other things that we should take to Peru in our bags. X suggested that we take water bottles. X suggested that we take a princess dress along. X explained that everyone should take a mama along with them too! Tomorrow we go to Colombia!
