Filling up water balloons for the Grace vs. Dad water balloon championship.

Calm before the storm. Grace and Zoey chiling after filing up a dozen water balloons. Then two practice throws. A moment later it was an all-out war with dad!! Quite the epic battle!
Fun family trip out to Pyramid Lake …Zoey loves playing in the water.

Here are next week’s words -“C” group. Can you believe how hard the “D” group is?, we’ll practice some of those too …just for fun.
Grace got up and dressed before 6am this morning eager to get to Walmart to buy supplies for today’s science experiments. Mom is away and hopes we don’t burn the house down. Wish us luck and stay tuned..

A few weeks back Grace was asked to help with a big competitive motorcycle endurance rally that had a mandatory checkpoint in Reno USA. Pics and such
Fast forward …..an unexpected package arrives from Lisa E and it was an honorary rally flag to show appreciation for the hard work. Grace helped at the checkpoint (up until 2am at night and then back up at 5am!) and then went out to Gerlach to assist some more!
Big thanks to Lisa E and the Butt Lite crew for the nice gift. BTW Grace took it to school as part of her story of the things she did over summer vacation. Oh and if you don’t know what “Butt Lite” means, ….well if you have to ask you don’t need to know.

Quite a weekend! Early pajamas and late dinner .. and after dinner science show with dad and then bed. Oh, dinner = chicken tenders, broccoli, mac-n-cheese, keychup, bbq sauce, milk and an airborne vitamin. Dessert will be chocolate cookies and robust dialogue on what show to watch. Big week coming up!!
