Busy Family Life

 Most weeks it seems that we have something every weeknight, and that is even after limiting the kids to one extra activity.  In addition to his sport, currently soccer, Tal is in Cub Scouts.  He is working toward his Bear and absolutely LOVES going to den and pack meetings.  In March our troop held their annual Pinewood Derby.  Tal and Kris decided to go with their winning design from last year but modeled it as the "T Rocket" for this year.  Without the Harry Potter is was a little light in weight though and they ended up super gluing quarters to the bottom right before the race.  The Rocket still raced well and Tal came in 1st in his Den and 6th overall. 
In addition to ballet, Abi is in Activity Days through our ward.  I have the blessing of being her leader, Best Calling in the church.  For our Daddy Daughter Date this year, the girls elected to have a Hoe Down.  We had so much fun making the dinner including chili, cornbread, salad, pie and homemade ice cream and painting this mural for our backdrop.  Kris and Abi dressed in their country finest for a night down on the farm.  They enjoyed a fun filled evening of dining, dancing the Virginia Reel, and playing games like Wheel-Barrow Race, Three Legged Race and Egg Toss.
