YW Camp Hike

It's getting close to that time of year when all young women are getting ready for girls camp.  This is going to be Reganne's first year going and she is only slightly excited.  Until then it was time to hike and complete some certification.

Girls posing for a picture
to send to the mom's showing they are ok.

Girls and their leaders
I do believe those smiles are for real.

Froggy

Reganne found Mr Froggy and took care of him all the way down the trail.  She begged the leaders to bring him home.  Lucky for me they redirected her that he would miss his family.  She released him back into the wild.  They headed home by way of Fizz for a treat.

The clock is ticking and the count down will begin shortly.

The Kite Festival 2017

Ryder worked really hard on his reading and was eager to get his book.  It was hot & windy on the college campus there was still plenty of people enjoying the wind and flying their kites.

Check out my book.
The author has my name.  Let's hope he enjoys them.

Playing all the games.
Treats, prizes, and balloons what more
can a kid ask for?

Check me out as Brooks
The college should have had a stool for the kids to use.

Catching up with our friend Ron.

It was a fun afternoon and a great reward for all the reading the kids across the county have done since January.  Ryder also completed the last requirement for his Lion Pride Award from LVE.

Time to relax and enjoy the night..

Soccer Saturday...FCSG

We are ready for a warm soccer game.  Sullivan Soccer Park has very little shade.  However, we ran  into a small problem of missing girls.  There would be no subs today.  The girls are all on their own.  FCSG is one of the premier teams in the league so it was going to be a long hour.

The whistle blew and the Rage Girls went to work.  Reganne was on duty at the goal.  Our defense was really struggling trying to keep them out of position.  19 attempts and 6 goals in the first half.  Reganne was ready for a break.

Let's try being a Striker.

The second half was a little better with 1 attempt for us.  5 attempts and 4 goals for them.

Sweaty & Tired

These girls played hard but are running low on confidence.  They try really hard but without all members of their team they can't be successful.

Two more games of the season and hopefully they will all hang in there.

More Easter Fun

Breakfast at Bishops with a lot of bacon we were off to the car show.  The Easter Car Show is Dave's main thing to do this weekend.  Thank goodness for great weather and plenty of cars to see.

These two were in heaven.

Dad, is this engine like yours?

Time for more activities....

Friday,  the kids made confetti eggs with
the Zufelt Kids.

We found time to make our Kool Aid eggs.
This year instead of water we used vinegar.
It worked so much better.

Easter morning and baskets.
There needs to be more chocolate.

See ya later!!!
I know have candy and all I need is my bed.

Easter Lunch with the Wheelers

And Spencer

New Easter outfits.
When did this happen???

Family Selfie

It was a good weekend full of family fun, yummy food, and even yummier treats.  We hope everyone had a a great holiday as well.

Easter Weekend

Early Saturday morning time for Easter Egg Hunts.  Times have really changed around our house the only one interested was Ryder.  He was in for the candy and the SkyWest hunt was good for that. 

Graduated to the oldest group.

High Fives from the bunny himself.
Why is she looking at him that way?
Dad you are so embarrassing!!!

The whistle blew!!!
The grounds were soon picked clean of all eggs.

A good haul

He had a lot of fun planning his path and method to best pick up eggs.  Dad convinced him to share with the Easter Bunny's daughter since her Dad kept her from getting any.

After sharing and giving back the stuffed carrot he was ready to eat.  Get this boy some food so we can enjoy the rest of the day.

Pack Meeting Time Again

We are so happy that the weather has been really awesome and pack meeting was going to be outside.  The boys were full of energy and bouncing around the fields.  They were so excited to play kickball that holding still for awards was nearly impossible.

Bear Den waiting patiently.

Comparing awards

They had their awards and treats time to play ball.  Quickly dividing into 2 teams they were ready. Parents stand back and the ball began to fly.  

All the boys and even a few sisters were having such a great time playing together.  It was hard to end the night but the light started to fade.  It was time to head home tomorrow is a school day.

Afternoon Soccer Scrimmage

Instead of soccer practice on Monday they were going to scrimmage United FC across town.  Reganne was once again playing the Goalie position and was hard at work.  It was a perfect night for some soccer.  

Then the unexpected happened the coaches decided to let Reganne try the Striker position for awhile. She soon moved toward the goal and made her first attempt.  It went wide, but the smile on her face was priceless.  Before long her and another forward were soon competing for the ball.  They even had a couple more attempts. 

I'm what position?

Striker!!!

No goals but the eagerness to try again and work harder.  She loved the freedom of moving around the field and stretching her legs.  Maybe she will get to try this position again in a game this season.

No games this week due to Spring Vacation & Easter.
