Nature Hikes

We've had such fun this year studying God's awesome creation with our "nature buddies" once a month, even throughout the winter! We've learned so much, from how to spot a wild columbine flower to finding the tracks of rabbits, deer, and many other animals. Here are some pictures of a recent hike we had at a state park.

The Tulip Festival

Yesterday for Mother's Day we went to the Tulip Festival downtown Albany in Washington Park. It was rainy and a little chilly, but we had fun nonetheless! We ate yummy gyros and the kids had pizza & fried dough then we wandered the park lookin at the beautiful flowers. How did you spend Mother's Day?

Hey all, I guess we started a blog... all I wanted to do was respond to Sam's recent entry on his blog http://www.armstrongrants.blogspot.com/ and when I went to post it they said I needed a name. I went ahead with entering my info. and at the end realized I was setting up a blog of my own. so, here we go...we've jumped on the bandwagon.
