Grade 6 Trip

All grade 6's near the end of the year get the opportunity to go to a wilderness adventure camp for the day. It has ropes courses, climbing courses and the best of all, zip lines. This camp day was going to be alot for D. He is afraid of heights. But he made it thru the day with great success. Photo 1:

Zip linning. This was a 70 foot high zip line. This was a huge challenge for D. He did it!

This was a burma bridge, so you climbed about 10 feet high and walk across some rope/bridge. Unfortunately D wasn't so successful at this station. This was about as high as he made it before coming down. I was proud of him for trying.
And finally the wood climbing wall. He had fun, but didn't go to top to ring the bell. Oh well. Again he tried his best. So proud of my little brave man.
I think this was the best ever trip our school has taken. It did wonderful things for the children in Grade 6's confidence today.

Regina May Long

We spent the long weekend in Regina for a ball tournament. (Believe it or not.) Hard to believe it has been 4 years since we left there. The city has changed in many ways. Lots of new development. It was sure nice to visit family. Below is Brent's Aunt,Uncle and their super cute grandkids. I do miss them. As you can see it was hard to get everyone picture perfect! But this photo shows character, I think.

Here is D - getting ready for a big hit. Unfortunately, he struck out. It wasn't a great weekend for D and the A's.
As you can see he loves his ball. He is on the bench here chatting with his team mate. Happy as ever!
So these shots are taken with my new camera. I am pretty happy with it! Look for more photos soon.

You never told me your an Artist!

The Healthy Escalator

How many people do you think would stand on a step and wait for the ride up before noticing?
In the next 48 hours I am getting a new camera. Hopefully I like this camera and keep it. (I've returned 2 Nikon cameras in the last 12 months from being unsatisfied.) Most importantly I will be able to take real photos again.
