Boats, Bike, Beauty, Birthdays

As the school year ends, each member of our family has been busy with different things.

PARKER

Last cub scout activity of the year: Rain-gutter Regatta.

5th Grade Science Olympiad

About to test how many pennies their tin-foil barge will hold without sinking

He was especially proud of the mouse-trap car he built with his partner

Parker won FIVE ribbons! (more than anyone else in the grade)  Check out his reaction when they announced his first win - look toward the left-hand side of the video and you'll see him start to jump up as he hears them say the distance his paper airplane traveled.
