Zo's first bike ride

We got a tag-a-long bike for Lorenzo. And were able to take it out for spin today. He did really good although he prefers for me to do all of the pedaling.

Buggy crossing

Here's a sign I bet you don't see everyday. We live in Amish country, kinda weird to see horse and buggy in town.

BBQ at Spencer's

 Spencer barbecued some steaks,
kids played in the sprinkler and
we all enjoyed the sun and
only a slight breeze for the hour. 
There have been gusts of up to
70 mph here yesterday and today.

Growing Bunnies

The bunnies are growing so fast. 
They've opened their eyes and their fur is so soft. 
Both runts died : (

Spring Concert

Last night was the Spring Concert for the high school choirs. This is the last concert of the year full of fun songs instead of the harder songs that they prepare for competitions. Here is a video of some of its highlights. The last clips are from a medley of songs that Hi-Lites put together as a surprise for their teacher, Mr. Merriweather. During the awards ceremony Benjamin received a medal for Most Outstanding Soloist for the a Capella group, So Voce. That made his year!

An Upcycled Bridge


The following was posted (the closest I can remember)
at the start of this bridge to help visitors guess what it was made from
 at the gift shop of the dinosuar quarry near Vernal:

I once traveled all over
from city to city 
but now I'm a bridge. 

What was I?

Lorenzo, Spencer, Ronan

A boxcar.
You could find the answer on the other side of the bridge.

Dads X-Rays


Dad went to the dentist last week and got a tooth/root extracted.  I snapped a picture with my phone of the X-rays.  We are not sure if those are staples or stitches in his neck.

Rachel's Latest Artwork

Rachel took an online course this semester called Digital Arts. It uses the free software "Inkscape". She hated it at first and even said, "You know I"m never going to finish this class, don't you?" But now look at what she can do! The ones on the right are what she copied from.

Home sweet Pennsylvania

Here is the view from our living room window. I didn't get much time to take anymore pictures, we were only there briefly. But it's green and hot over here with more trees than I've ever seen!
