Odds and Ends April 2013

 The kids like to bowl.

 Coryn finished up his wolf, and participated in a flag ceremony.

 Jovey looks like she's eating dirt, but she's not.  I promise.

Coryn gave a farmers market performance.  Good stuff.

Good Old Days 2013

 We started the day off with kiwanas supporting pancake breakfast and dancing.

 Followed by a mostly car parade, lots of old cars.

 Highlighted by traditional groups like the balloon platoon...

 cub scouts (hi Coryn!)...

 and the odd float (yum, artichokes).

 Had to visit the bird guy.

and squeefully ride a pony.

Irish Family Visit Mar 2013

 We love us some Aunt Natty!

 Pet rocks from Grandie!

 Jovey didn't know where to look, but she also wasn't the happiest about the baby being around the house... she likes him better now, but man was she jealous!

 Kiki Joe and Linc!

 Grandie and Gpop

all of Irish blood.  Jovey really didn't want to look at the sun anymore.  :)

March 2013 Blue and Gold and Pinewood Derby

 Each Blue and Gold here they have a table with strips of paper and tape galore so that the kids can keep busy making paper chains.  They always get to display the giant chain they made at the start of the ceremonies.  This year they had fancy mustache straws too.

 Pinewood derby!  Fun times, there were three boxes full like this one, all fun and unique designs.  Coryn got 7th place overall, pretty awesome for his first car!  He designed and I shaped, then we threw on a heavy coin to make it weigh as much as possible.  The crew here has a fancy electronics-supported racetrack.
