Father/Son camp out





Mike and I had a great time at the Father/Son camp out this past weekend. We borrowed a tent and left Friday afternoon. We played tug-of-war and had a three-legged relay race with spoons and water. In the three-legged race, Mike and I smoked all contenders. Truthfully, I was the one who took the crown. Mike was in the side car. At one point, he tried to quit and almost started screaming; I may have been dragging him a bit.

The best thing about the camp is that I went to bed at about 9:30 pm. Even if I was laying on the hard ground, I was still laying down. Mary was great to pack Michael everything he would need - warm clothes, pillow, snacks, toothbrush, change of underwear, and books. Fortunately, we were on a father/son campout and only used the pillows and snacks. This was a dirty teeth, used underwear, and cold campout for us. A good time was had by all.

Michael loves Kindergarten



Michael started Kindergarten a few weeks ago. He really likes it. He loves PE, music, and art the best. He talks about his friends that he sits with and how some day he wants to ride the bus home. Michael's teacher is Mrs. Dixon. She is always smiling when we see her. This is her first year having her own classroom. She says that she loves Kindergarteners. We are so glad that Michael is so happy!
