A visit with the tulips

On Saturday, the girls and I met Rob's parents for a visit to the tulip fields in Skagit County. The tulips had really opened up and we loved seeing the many, many varieties of beautiful tulips. After the tulip fields, we took in the street fair in Mt. Vernon, which was really fun and interesting! All, in all, it was a great day!

Spring Break

It takes forever to upload pictures on Blogger, so I am going to go the cheater route and give you a link to the pictures that I posted on Facebook. The girls and I spent 5 days in New Mexico and Colorado with our friends, the Hewitts, who moved to Durango, CO last August. It was great to see new scenery and have a great visit with good friends. We are all back to work/school tomorrow - back to "real" life! Vacation has been great though!.

Amelia Earhart project

The 2nd graders do a "Famous American" project at our school...so Johanna chose Amelia Earhart as her project. She spent a lot of time reading and researching about Amelia and then drafting a "report" about her life. The project also included a large poster and an oral presentation, in costume. Here's our little "Amelia". Fun and learning for the whole family!
