Spring Circuit Assembly trip to Rochester

We just had our Circuit Assembly last week. Weekend of spiritual refreshment and good association. I wasn't so great with the camera though, so few pics at the assembly site. We had around 2200 for the weekend and 7 were baptized. Baxter went with us and stayed at a kennel down there too. Can't wait to see all our friends again at the summer convention.

5th Grade Field trip to MN Zoo

March 28th Brent went with the fifth grade classes to the MN Zoo. They got some classroom time in the morning then some free time to explore, a monorail ride and a session of the bird show (Brent got to participate in the show too). Everyone had a nice time but it all went really fast in a busy day.

Afton Alps 5th Grade Field Trip

I chaperoned a field trip to Afton Alps the last day of February. 60 kids at varying degrees of skiing ability made for an entertaining day. I do not ski mind you but it was fun watching everyone progress through the lessons and hit the slopes. Noah did really good for catching on his first time and was out on the slopes in not too long a time. He can't wait to try it again. (Actually wants to board instead of ski next time but liked the experience! Good skill to have in MN.

Noah turned 11

Didn't blog all winter. Pics are posted on our Shutterfly share site though. Attempting to get back into documenting. :). Noah turned 11 in March and we always do a pic to remember the milestone.

Fall Family Picnic

Every fall Noah's school hosts a family picnic over lunch. Since this is the last one for us, I took the day off work to attend (wasn't on my day off this year). Lovely warm weather and big turnout. The food was good (unfortunately the bees thought so too). Me and Gramma Kathy and Uncle Cody enjoyed the day. We got to visit s bit too with Sam's whole family that came too as well as teachers and other families.

Sleepover

Sam spent a recent weekend with us and on Sunday after meeting I captured some fun shots of creative play. I love it when kids come up with new uses for old toys. They took the old clown bike and hooked it to my old red wagon (from when I was a kid) they used baxter's leash to hook them together. I sat back and enjoyed the view of the parades on the street. Love it!
