We stopped for a nice picnic lunch.

Faith baked Corn Bread literally all by herself. Mom cracked the egg and put the pan in the oven but Faith poured, mixed and dished...she was excited to share with her dad & friends that day.













Faith learned how to write the letter "F" and "I"













Ellee loves to be busy too. Here she is painting in the backyard-notice shirt off for a reason!!

Fish Hatchery Field Trip

We went to the fish hatchery for a pre-school prep day. The kids loved learning about salmon and steelhead fish.











Nicole read them a story about fish.












Then we went to feed them.















Faith feeding the hungry fish.
