Emma's Culture

Emma's recent school project was about family history and culture. With just a little help from Mom and Dad, she put together this board and then presented it to the first-grade and kindergarten classes at Harmony.

Girl Scout Camping

One of the perks of being a Girl Scout leader is being able to go to a leader/daughter weekend once a year. This year it was over Valentine's Day weekend. This Girl Scout camp is located in La Porte, east of Houston along the ship channel. We stayed in a dorm with other leaders and their daughters. It's from Friday night until Sunday morning. We eat and do most of our activities and crafts in the lodge.

It's just a nice, relaxing weekend. Emma loves going because this is as close as she gets to camping. We are not a camping family and this as "rough" as it gets at a Girl Scout camp.

The Barbie Jeep

A beautiful nearly-spring day means it's time to break out the Barbie Jeep. Clear the deck - Emma's driving:



And now hand the wheel to Claire. We're gonna need a wider driveway:


Time to run:


Yes, Claire is not wearing any pants. Now ride the trike:

The Jet

The other night we were at the local park when Emma looked up and said "Rocket". Luckily I had my camera. The sun was setting behind the plane and lit the vapor trail.


As the plane turned away from the setting sun, I shot this:

Howdy!
