This and That in March

  I got to lead FiA again:

We had a lot of people this time!  I think it helped that the weather warmed up again...

Craig was stretching his calves before he took the kids to the bus stop, so they all had to join in!

And Ryder made this awesome self portrait for school:

See, it unfolds so you can see what's under the mask!  So cute!  I like his freckles, and that part of his personality traits is, "I like dogs"! 😄

For hiking club, we went to Blue Hole.  It's a swimming hole, and even though the weather was GORGEOUS, it still wasn't nearly warm enough for swimming.  Even just dipping the occasional foot in the river (or falling in, as Ryder managed to do) was pretty chilly!  But now that I know what to expect, I'm very excited to go back in July with swimsuits!

I didn't have any pockets to keep my phone handy so I told Adam to take lots of pictures for me and he did NOT disappoint!  I think next time we need family portraits I'll just hire him...

One of the best pictures I've ever seen of Camille...

But this one captures her personality!

Crossing the river!  We'd tried to wear shoes that could get wet, but that didn't mean it was pleasant!

THIS Saturday we had NOTHING going on and it was so great!!!  We really needed that!  Of course, this meant that my bored kids decided to do this:

And this:

Having teenagers is a weird experience.  If Bentley did this as a kid, it meant he was pretty sick.  Now it just means he's a teenager who has to get up early all week for seminary!
