Let it Snow!

We were fortunate to get a LITTLE glimpse of snow this morning.  No snow day, but a nice flurry, none the less!

Derby Day

Well, this cute cub scout didn't qualify for regionals, but he did place 1st or 2nd in all of his heats and had a great time racing his shark car!

Ole!

4H DPA




A few weeks ago, all 5th graders in our county participated in the 4H CPA. This was a mostly research-based assignment involving a visual aid and a four-minute presentation. 

Kinsey won first place in her category of Wildlife with her project on red pandas which qualified her to move on to the district level, or DPA.

She and several classmates spent the day at Rock Eagle 4H Center presenting to audiences of around 20 and also getting to explore the facilities a bit.

Kinsey walked away with a third place finish at the competition and had a wonderful time doing it!

Disney DREAM Come True

We just got home from an amazing weekend aboard the Disney Dream cruise ship.  We spent three wonderful nights in our beautiful stateroom as we travelled to Nassau and Castaway Cay, Disney's private island.  Highlights included a day at Atlantis Resort complete with dolphin swimming for Kinsey and water sliding for Max and swimming and bike riding around Castaway Cay in the beautiful sun.  Other favorites were the amazing nightly shows on board the ship, the outstanding service, and the great dining experience.  We are definitely hooked and want to go back for more someday soon!!!
