winning prizes

the children were able to help

a school with it's annual

chocolate sell

I must admit, 

I didn't have very high hopes

for several reasons

 but the kids did

and they sold every chance

they came in 3rd place in sales 

this year at the school

and won prizes to go with it

the principal sat in the dunking booth

 it was a bit cool out

but the teenage boys dumping  in

 55 gallons of ice surely didn't help

Caleb was the 1st to dunk him!!

Way to go Caleb!!!

Timothy with his bike

 Stonewall has always loved a bike

it had to be Hot Wheels

 Levi on his bike

 Josiah had to have an air soft pistol

my boys like guns

 Caleb and his roller blades

 Hunter and his bike

Paige,

though

wanted 

flip flops

and

ear rings!!!

So they all got some really great prizes and had a good time too!!

vacation day 3 & 4

We had a full week and had lots of fun.

Buddy ran out of food, so he wanted to help Sister.

We went to the Track.

Everyone raced, and there was a bit of competition.
Here's Nick & I on the slick track, my favorite.
I like the sliding around the corners.

Levi racing, concentrating hard.

Nick and I racing, again.

He wouldn't let me pass!!!

Paige with Josiah right behind, No, she wouldn't let him pass either!

Caleb, Timothy, and Hunter raced.
They were intense little racers, bumping and passing!
Timothy, a bit of a dreamer, ran into the side or the extra cars often.

Hunter, had to stick out his tongue for concentration!

Caleb, very serious about his racing,
managed to pass the others two times one race.

Here's Buddy swinging.
That used to be one of my favorite things to do.

Timothy, Caleb, Hunter, and Levi.

Day 4.
We went to the Gulfarium.
I always like these big aquariums.

Everyone looking at the sharks.
It was barely cool enough for the jackets.

This is what normally happens when I try to take a picture!!!

I'll have to finish out days five, six and seven later!
