Short trip

We are heading up to Sacramento for three days. Christopher is enrolled in Baseball Camp with the River Cats again. We did this trip last year and enjoyed it. He starts at 8 o'clock in the morning and ends at noon Thursday and Friday. We found it easier to drive up the night before and not have to fight traffic and save gas because where we stay we can walk to the ball park and we also get to see a game Friday night so we stay one more night and come home Saturday.
Matthew enjoys the trip because we go over to old town Sacramento and see a lot of old history.
This trip hope to ride the old train and see a old replica of a boat like the pilgrims sailed over in.
The boat is to be docked at the river just across the hotel we are staying in next to the old Sacramento bridge.

Seeing more of Idaho

Saturday morning we headed up to see the Tetons

This is the lake we took a boat and crossed to hike the trail to see the Hiden Water fall.

We made it up to the Hidden Fall, the hike was worth it and not to hard a little hot at times. The mist from the Falls made the hottness not so bad.

Does Savannah love her uncle?

The three all took a brake heading back down the trail, Savannah was a trouper and never complained



It was a fun day and we ended the day stoping at a great Mexican restrante in the town of Drigges Idaho good place to eat.

Fourth of July Vacation Idaho

We left smokey California July second we drove to Elko Nev. then the next morning we woke-up and had breakfeast at the casino then on the road we head to see Jennifer and family.I was a long car ride but worth seeing the grandkids run to meet us when we arrived at Jennifers home in Iona Idaho. Jennifer made us a good tasting steak salad for dinner. We waited until Jared return home from a office dinner meeting and the boys, RJ and Savannah got to play with fire cracker Jared helped them set in the front yard.

The next day was the fourth of July and Jennifer I and the children all went to the parade in Idaho Falls it was fun but a I had to find a piece of shade to stand under.

Sum of the entery I enjoyed.

Moving Along In School

SIXTH GRADE GRADUATION

June 6th Christopher graduated from the sixth grade. the day was a nice sunny day and David and I wlked to the school for the commencement. I had helded the night before in the decorations of the multi purpuse room. We prarents had talked that night and they where all talking of the trears that will be shed. I of course thought this is only Sixth grade I will not shed any tears, It was not the case when the sith grade teachers gave thier comments the tears began to come.

Each year the graduating class leaves something for the school. Rosa the triffic gaurd and noon duty head I work with came up with this idea of making a garden bench with the sixthgraders signing thier names to it and be placed in the school garden. Some of the staff and the sixth grade teachers also signed it so my name is on the bench too for my noon duty service.



See if you can find Christopher's name?

His name is on the right bottom left tile under the timber wolf tile. Mine is on the left tile right under his signed tile.

In that same week Matthew made honor roll for the third time in fourth grade. That makes he a honor roll student for the whole year. He was cutting it close for he was getting lazy and not getting his work turned in and he had a nice teacher who gave extra time to do so with a little push from David and I. He made it with a 3.67 gpa.
