On our trip to Albuquerque we went to visit the Aquarium and Botanical garden. The kids had a great time and I enjoyed all of the new stuff that they added. Like the Japanese garden which gave me wonderful ideas for my yard. We did many things on our trip but this was just one of the activites that we had planned for the kidos. We also went swimming and shopping a couple of times which my kids hate but they go anyway. They got to visit Aunt and Uncle and cousin they loved to play together and had great fun. Syndl also got her hair cut and so did Zeona.


Here is me and the kids in the Japanese garden under the big bell.

Can you guess what this is?

Vacation Bible School

The kids did VBS this week and really had a good time. Syndl even got to go so Willie and I got three mornings this week to ourselves. The kids learned about Daniel in the lions den, about the paralized man that Jesus healed. They did all kinds of crafts and learned all kinds of songs. On parents night Zeona was sitting with me and she was just repeating to herself "Faith, hope, Love." I just thought it was so cute. I got pictures of the kids doing the performace for each class but the church was so dark they didn't turn out so I got pictures of the kids in the class rooms.


william's class all got to put on clown noses for there performace and got to take them home he really likes that.

Zeona and Syndl got a picutre in front of the lions den that was set up in Zeona's classroom.
