Lots is happening in Pirtle world right now....busy, busy, busy.
1. We are preparing for another long, long, journey to see family during just about the entire month of April. The kids are THRILLED to get to see everyone again.
2. Cameron is proud of his pinewood derby car he and (mostly) his Dad made for Scouts. It is orange, of course. It was fun to see Tony get so into this. At the Derby, you could tell which ones the kids made and which ones the Dads made....it was quite funny. Cam's was somewhere in the middle and they both did work on it.
His is the orange one in the middle.
Here he is observing...the lonely homeschooled kid :-)
He is very proud...not even acting a bit silly...these races are a VERY serious event...for those of you who aren't familiar with Scouting.
Holly was taking the event very seriously as well...here she is, as cars race and fates are determined, cleaning out her toe jam just for the occasion.
3. Science, as always, is fun. Here is the homemade bottle rocket Cam made....with no help from any adults (if you could see it closer you could tell.) We launched it in the March snow....OK, we're kind of over the snow now!
4. And last but not least...we are very proud of Aub. She wanted to race this year in the annual ski race at our ski area. Last year she won 3rd place and this year she won 2nd place. Next year she says she will get 1st. She was very proud. Here she is up on top getting ready for her turn. By the way, this is where we LIVE...we are NOT on vacation...isn't it gorgeous?
Way to go Aub and Cam! Nice to see you, Holly! Where's Caleb???
ReplyDeleteWhen do you leave for this trip?
When you are posting your pictures on the blog, can you make them a bit bigger so we can see them? There is a place on the upload page that you can choose the size.
Hey, I am impressed!! You are becoming a real professional on the computer. It is so much fun to get regular information AND pictures of your family. Keep going!
