Zoppe Italian Family Circus
My favorite event of the year! This is a traditional family style Italian circus. They come to Redwood City every year and entertain for a week. Don't miss it. It's a deeply heartfelt experience which will make you laugh and cry and feel full of wonder. Their web site has a lot of photos and background information.

Field trip to the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose
The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum houses the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts on exhibit in western North America. We saw a mummy and many other artifacts. The tour guide told us interesting stories from the times of Pharaos and pyramids. A very interesting place to visit, you will feel like being in a different world and time.

Hidden Villa Farm school day October 3rd, 2011
Today we visited the Hidden Villa Farm for their annual Farm Home School Day. Ilbra and Arrun together with other children learned how to make butter. After shaking cream for a long time they could enjoy the fresh butter on crackers. We toured the farm garden and animal barn. At lunch time the farm served us home made tomato soup and fresh baked bread. Yummy!
