A Spring of Life

This is what we've been up to at the house.  Fishing and enjoying the views on the lake.

 The second graders witnessed the life cycles of some precious little chicks.  Their chirps were a treat for all.

Happy Birthday Grandma Hawkins! 89 Years.

 

We sure did enjoy the day with my Grandma for her 89th birthday!  My cousin Pam invited us out for a relaxing day with good eats and good company.  She was extra sweet to fill a couple of pinatas for her young cousins.  What a treat.  Happy Birthday to a sweet Grandma who raised an army:)

ASES-All Students Exercise Simultaneously

 Zach and Ryan playing on the field.  Not the best pic of Zack but I love the shot of Corrine in the background;)

 Tyler got the hang of the hula and hunted down his second grade friends to enjoy the day.

The kiddos had a fun time going down to the track and field for an afternoon of fun exercise.  The entire school was there to enjoy the sunshine and comraderie.

Kindergartner's Visit Binder Park Zoo

 Hoyt and Tyler feed the Giraffe big leaves of Romaine lettuce.  Mmmm.

 Sitting on Elephant tusks and wondering if they can be used as boomerangs.  Incidentally, according to Ryan's Guiness Book of World Records, a tusk of a Mammoth is still operational nearly 23,0000 years later:)

 Tyler with some silly shots.  Dad is a real trooper as he worked 3rd shift and stayed up all day to play at the zoo and later at baseball.

Blake is adorable in his spider painted face:)

Finally got Tyler to pose with Mom.

 

 

2nd Grade Visits the Butterfly House

It was a special treat to study butterflies at school  and then to travel to a butterfly house to see the process in action.  The kids were amazed at the flutters and you should have seen the smiles if they were lucky enough to have on land on shoulder or arm.  What a great group of kids to spend the day with.

Pee Wee Baseball

We knew it would be a fun year of baseball with all these smiling faces and a Coach Wrona to lead the way.  Sure was a fun season and we we've seen alot of growth on the team this year.

An experiment in making Root Beer

Ryan was assigned a special project at school with a classmate from another class.  When they found out they could do a report and a science project in making root beer, the boys knew what they wanted to study:)  We spent some time at home to see how the recipe would work.  The dry ice is the magic:)
