Early Spring with the Kids
Peter and the Wolf
Emily played a "medium hunter" - never did find any crystal balls though, just a wolf...

and tracks their prey! (above)

Gotcha now, you infernal wolf!

Sock Hop
The kids put on their dancing shoes and poodle skirts (figuratively in Mikey's case) for the annual sock hop at their elementary school.

food from the concession stand and walking
away with it
They'd just learned that the
DJ would play their request
Emily and her friends were front and center. All. Night. Long.
Mikey maintained a "generation-schmeneration" approach to picking dance partners!
Mikey's Cub Scout Blue and Gold
This was a really moving event. It began with a ceremony in which the scouts got their awards for the year that had finished, then moved up to the next level. Later, after a meal, we watched a slide show that moved Dave enough that the next day he signed Mikey (and himself) up for Cub Scout Adventure Camp in the summer (stay tuned!).
