Flying Kites

Auntie Barb gave the kids kites for Easter.  Luckily the wind is always blowing crazy up here on the hill where we live so we can fly kites anytime!

Charlie flying his kite with a friend

Claire's first kite flying experience. She had fun for 3 or 4 minutes and then ran to play at the park.

Charlie's First 5K

Charlie and I went to Winona for a 5K fundraiser today.  I wasn't sure if he would make it the whole way so I let him bring his scooter.  He wiped out shortly after it started so he ended up walking/running a lot of it.  He wanted to go home for awhile after he fell but he stuck it out and finished.  Proud of him!

Storytime

We went to storytime at the library before I left for Seattle.  Characters from one of our favorite authors were there- Elephant and Piggie!

Not the greatest picture but the best we got with all the kids!

 Teacher picture!  Our students will think we're rock stars! :)
