Yesterday we took the girls to the Boisen State Park for an all day Fishing for Kids. Every year Game and Fish open the park to the public at no charge for one daily visit. Kendra was having fun until she got a snag and thought there was just no fish around her area. Mia enjoyed realing in her fishing line even though she had no bait or hook for that matter, but she was fishing alright. Since Buck still has a Texas driver's license mom had to help the girls out. Well in my effort to be supportive, I had no choice but to do a little fishing myself. I became too excited when a fish hooked on to my line, I was like the little boy from the Christmas story, Ralphy. He was trying so hard to figure out the secret passage from his favorite radio show "Little Orphan Annie". Anyway, as the fish fought hard to escape, I realed and realed until all of the sudden the line snapped and the bobber ricocheted hitting my face on the right side of my sun glasses. It was a good thing I was wearing sunglasses other wise, Buck would have a lot of explaining as to why I had a black eye. We had a fun day outdoors and even though we came home empty handed we enjoyed our time together.
May 29th was Kendra's big Graduation day. She was so excited and ready to share her poem that she had been memorizing for the past three weeks (Why do I water my Flowers). Check out the link to her graduation over on the right...
Here is her whole class perfoming one of several songs..."I am Special"...Yes sweetie you sure are. I can't believe you will be in first grade already.
All dressed up in her graduation dress that Weulo and Weula bought for her.
And of course Sissy was there to document the joyous occasion on her "camera phone". What would we do with out her?
