Lego Land

Grayson and Jeff went out for some guy time last week.
They met friends from San Francisco at Lego Land.

They came back with lots of stories of driving cars...

running through play mazes...

...and driving more cars.
Somewhere along the way, everyone got soaking wet.
Sounds like the perfect guy day to me.

I don't know who had more fun that day.
I do know that at the end of the day, Grayson was one tired, happy little boy.

Honor Roll

With only a week left in school, Emily wrapped up elementary school in style.

She participated in an assembly where she was recognized for making the honor roll.

Later in the day, she and the rest of the 5th and 6th grade band gave a performance.
Wow, what a difference from their squeaky days in September when they first picked up their instruments. Great job Emily. We are very proud of you.

Little Camper

It was finally time for Grayson's first camping trip. After setting up camp, he got a lesson in fishing gear, using Grandpa Hemmelgarn's well stocked tackle box.

Next they headed down to the fishing pond where Dad taught him how to use the rod and reel.

No fish were caught that weekend, but Grayson was not discouraged.

He cheerfully went back to the campsite, ready to spend the night in his very own tent.
Grayson proved to be quite the little camper, I am sure this will be followed by many more camping trips in the coming years.
