Pinewood Derby

The boys had their first every Pinewood Derby. Neither Mike nor I have ever done a derby before and were quite clueless. We tried to google directions but we still didn't do a great job. Our poor boys! At least they looked good!

Brother against brother. I don't even remember who won!

Annie Oak Glen Field Trip

Annie got to go on her first grade field trip despite changing schools at the end of the year. She was really excited. We went to the apple orchards at Oak Glen. They always put on a really good tour for the first graders.
