Field Trips are fun!!

Ryan and Emily both went on a Field Trip this year.  Emily went with her Challenge class and Ryan went with the 8th grade.  In past years, the 8th grade has gone to Kings Dominion.  For some reason, this year they decided that was not where the 8th grade would be going.  They took them on YET ANOTHER field trip to DC.  He was kind of bummed, but had a good time anyway.  Mike or I were not able to go on either field trip, but we have good friends who did go.  They were kind enough to send me pictures!!  :)

 

 

Thank you to Natasha, Jesela's mom, for the great pictures!!!

 

 

Wheel'n into the sunset!

Lydia and Emily have a friend named Jesela.  Jesela lives in a house with an awesome yard!  When they go to her house, they often spend 30 minutes telling me about everything they did in the yard.  Yesterday, Jesela had her birthday party.  The girls went and were able to see several kids they go to school with.  They had a blast!!!  At the end of the party, after most of the kids had gone, Jesela's dad allowed Jesela to get her Uncle's 4 wheeler out and let the girls ride.  Jesela drove them one "lap" and then let Emily and Lydia drive.  They loved it and have decided they want one now.  :)  They don't seem to understand why we can't ride it in our back yard.  I explained that our back yard is the equivalent of a postage stamp portion of Jesela's yard.  By the time you would take off, you would be at the other side before any speed was achieved.  They are convinced it would work.  :)  I am sure as soon as they tell their dad they love 4 wheelers (since this was their first ride on one), he will do what he can to get one for them.  :)  Love these pictures!!

Jesela is actually behind Emily in this picture.  She just moved at the right time to make it look like Emily was driving by herself.

Lydia had a hard time seeing out of the helmet.  It didn't fit on her just right.  Once she got it pulled down correctly, she was a force to be reckoned with.  :)
