Big Snake

Adrian and I went to Trenton Smiley's 6th birthday party Friday night. They had a lady come with insects, spiders, lizards, turtles, and snakes. It was really a cool and informative party. The highlight was at the end when they pulled out this HUGE, yellow snake.

Backyard Campout

(Morgan, Gracen, and Alexis)

Morgan had her first backyard campout with her Brownie Troop last night. They camped in the Luman's backyard and had a blast. They went on a hike in the Nature Preserve, cooked hot dogs, made s'mores, made cinnamon rolls, and had pancakes this morning. The Lumans have a zip line and a play structure in the backyard that were a lot of fun for the girls. Morgan said her favorite part was doing the skits that they made up.

Morgan's Dress-up Sleepover

Last weekend Morgan went to a sleepover birthday party where they were supposed to dress up. Morgan went as a Spanish Princess. This is the same costume that she is going to wear on Halloween. She was muy bonita!

Summer Explorer 2008

The presentation for the Summer Explorers T-shirts and certificates was this morning in the school library. Morgan has participated every year since she was eligible in Kindergarten. I am very proud of my overachiever!

Upward

Morgan cheered for her first game of the new Upward flag football season this past Saturday. Her new squad is the "Gems". Because of Hurricane Ike they only had one practice before their first game. They did wonderfully and had a great time!

FEMA POD

Last Sunday a few of the girls from Morgan's Brownie troop helped out at the FEMA POD (point of distribution) that was set up in our church's parking lot. They worked really hard sorting and handing out boxes of food. Adrian and I helped too. Morgan said that it felt good to help other people.
