Kenny's end of 2nd grade play

Kenny played the part of the Narrator in his second grade play called Life Cycles. He's got great inflection in his voice, if I could get him to face the audience instead of the other characters he'd be on his way to Hollywood. Not too bad for an eight year old. There are a lot of clips here, but I wanted to share as much as I could with those of you out of town.

Promenade Left

On Tuesday, Katie and all the 5th grade students got all gussied-up for West Fest Day and did a square dancing demonstration for the parents. Lucky Katie. She got to dance in an all girl group. Her partner, a good buddy of hers, and her switched off who played the "lead." She didn't have to dance or hold hands with any icky boys. If you look in the background of the video clips you'll see how unexcited and lethargic the boy-girl groups are. Katie's group was all smiles and giggles. I got to do the last dance with her. It was a great memory to store away. I can't believe she is moving on to middle-school.
There are many clips to share, 'cause they're just so darn cute.

Ice Skating in the Sunshine

While I stayed at home to nurse my cold and horrible laryngitis, Rick took the kids to the temporary ice skating rink in Folsom. Both kids loved it and want to go back before it closes for the season. Hopefully, I can join them next time.

I was impressed that Rick thought to take photos (even if it was with his Treo cell phone). He even took some video.... sideways!! Enjoy.
