Soccer Season in Full Swing

After Tyler's game, the Red Fury had a special visit from the Fire Department.

They squirted the team down and then gave each kid a turn.Tyler RebeccaErin was a stinker. She wasn't interested in the festivities.

She wanted to play at the park or in the middle of the street.

The Dance

Rebecca's school is having a Fifth Grade Dance tonight. Rebecca had mixed feelings about wanting to go. We thought that the fifth grade was a little bit too young to be participating in a dance. So, we let her invite some of her friends over for games and ice cream. They have played several of the Minute-to-Win-It type games, eaten ice cream with all the toppings, and screamed a lot. I have hidden in the other room to avoid the chaos. I think that Rebecca is having a great time.

Goodbye Spencer!

Have fun in Honduras.

See you in 2 years!

Tyler's Field Trip

Tyler's field trip was to the Camp Cooper Center for Environmental Learning.

Basically it was a nature walk through the desert.

Fortunately for us it was very well done and we learned a lot about cactus and insects etc.

Unfortunately for us it was miserably hot that day.The highlight for me was listening to the kids sing their patriotic songs they have been learning.Tyler's highlight was the insect show and tell. Did you know scorpions glow in the dark with a black light?

This was the biggest scorpion I have ever seen.
