Random April Pictures

Just a couple other random events from April....

Michael is always on the run and is hard to get a picture of.  But thanks to me working with the youth program at church now, I get to see him in action a little more often (something I am sure he just loves sometimes!).  He was able to do a couple of really cool things in April, including having fun at a Hawaiian themed dance and visiting Merrill Lynch downtown one evening.  The view was amazing!

Trevor had his 2nd UIL tournament for the year, this time at Davis High School.  Grammy and Grandaddy came back to her old high school stomping grounds and were able to go on a tour before the awards ceremony where Trevor medaled in Social Studies, one of the 3 events he was busy with that day.

On a Friday a couple of weeks ago, the kids at the elementary school had a gigantic lemonade sale, hosted by the lower grades, to raise money to send to Japan for the relief effort from the recent natural disasters there.  Our school is a magnet for foreign language and cultures and Japanese is one of the four languages that the kids can learn, so it was important for the kids to get involved and help out one of our "sister" countries that they know so much about.  For about an hour, the kids had a fantastic time buying and tasting lots of different types of lemonade from the 8-10 booths of the different primary grades.  Music was blaring and the weather was perfect.  Who says you can't drink lemonade at 9 am?  The kids had a blast and the school raised over $1600 to give to the Red Cross for Japan.  Luke and I had fun checking it all out and tasting a couple unique varieties of lemonade.

 

 


With all these fun activities that are always going on, Luke has some big shoes to fill to keep up with everyone...and on this particular day, the shoes he found he liked the best were Don's!
