First Grade Field Trip

I love going on the kids' class field trips! The first and second grade trips are my favorites! We had a wonderful time at Sea World with Addy's class. With both boys, we stayed late and rode the Atlantis roller coaster. Addy is a roller coaster girl so we stayed and rode the Elmo Fish Ride a bizillion times. Rosie stayed with us and it was lots of fun. A bit different than being with the boys. Addy and Rosie are huge animal fans and loved the Pets Rule show too.

Arrow of Light

Tyler earned the highest Cub Scout award called the Arrow of Light. He had been looking forward to it for awhile and has done over and above the necessary requirements. We love scouting and appreciate Kendra who makes the pack meetings like Norman Rockwell paintings that are alive. Now Tyler will be an 11 year old Scout!!

Addy Girl

It was our 14th wedding anniversary on June 1. One afternoon, I dressed Addy in my wedding dress and we did a photo shoot. One day she is going to be a veterinarian and then get married. We are working on the details.

Queen Califa

Cole attended Cub Day Camp and Tyler and some friends went to basketball camp. Basketball camp ended an hour before Cub Camp so one day, while waiting for Cole, we headed over to Queen Califa's Magic Circle. It is an enormous art installation by Nikki de Saint Phalle in Esc.'s Kit Carson Park.

Cole's Head

Cole has an um... you know what on his head. At Cub Scout Camp, Cole stuck a popper onto his head. He still has a circle on his forehead and it has been there for four days. Poppers are like a hollow half sphere and suction to things, like foreheads.

Operation Thin Mint

Addy and I had a Girl's Day out with our friends Meribeth and Rosie. We started at the Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum. A helicopter came and picked up the GS Cookies. There was a band playing and everyone waving flags. It was really Patriotic. We want to sell lots of cookies to go to our Troops next year. Then we headed to Sea Port Village to try on hats and ride the carousel. We ate lunch at Ikea. What a fun Girls Day. We were exhausted!

Father Daughter Dance

Addy and Shawn headed to the Hawaiian themed Daddy Daughter Girls Scout dance. They danced the night away and ate junk.
