End of March

Our first warmer days drew the kids outside again for fun in the trees and garden.
The boys were especially diligent in working on our garden plot!

The middle of March

This past week-end we were able to have a little exhibition on Mt. St. Helens and the geological changes. After one of the men in our church initiated the project by procuring permission to have a table, Bradley put many hours into research, contacting the museum in Washington, preparing the notebooks and brochures. It was a blessing that many people stopped by to take a look and a number of good conversations took place. Today we finished an interesting project. We had found a 3-D puzzle last week, 500 pieces. It was quite an experience, but we enjoyed putting it together. The butterflies were on four levels and in moving your head to find pieces, it did created a swaying sensation! :) We love the finished product. There were many other helping hands, but we three happened to be there when the puzzle was finished. :)

Marching through March

Time is flying and rather than recover the past months on the blog, I will just pick up here with current events. :)
Danielle with Pinnochio in Berlin :)
Our German cross-walk buddy! The girls near the East Side Gallery in Berlin!
Our play ground opened up again with a few new activities. :)
The first week-end in March was the annual board meeting for Camp. It coincided with our niece's 17th birthday, so we drove down to camp as a family. We took the time to visit a town along the way that produced bells, and as we found out, too, textiles for many centuries!
We were really only at camp for a day, but we used the morning to clean up some rooms.
Looking better already. :)
Dalene (above) and Lavonne and Donia (below)
Some worked outside with the beautiful new rakes sent over by my brother and his family to help with all the leaves! :)
Much better! :)
A wood splitter, lent for the week-end was a great help in getting wood ready to dry for future use!
The men took time to walk around and consider the future needs and plans for the camp.
