Orange Tree

We have an orange tree!  Dave donated it to us, it was a gift to him after Ruth's memorial service.  He doesn't have any room in his yard.  We have put it along the wall between our homes.  Once it gets big enough, we'll lift a limb over the wall and he can have all the oranges he wants.  Great deal!
This week we took a few days to plant the tree.  Here she is.

AZ Game & Fish Expo

Today we took an Eastside Explorers' field trip to Ben Avery for the AZ Game & Fish Expo Youth Day.  It was a gorgeous day and perfect to be outdoors walking around.  This was our first year to attend - we are looking forward to next year.

Micah's favorite activity - archery


Lilly's favorite activity - crayfish catching
Most impressive activity- Lilly petting the anaconda

Spirit Week

Lilly liked having to wear green for St. Patrick's Day, so she declared Monday "Blue Day".  It has become a whole week of silly things to wear - our own Spirit Week.  Maybe you can join us.  If so, take a picture and send it to us.

MONDAY - BLUE DAY (or you get a spanking)
TUESDAY - PURPLE DAY (To cheer on the Rockies - Micah's baseball team; game at 5pm)
WEDNESDAY - PAJAMA / SPORT DAY (am/pm - since we have PE in the afternoon)
THURSDAY - CRAZY HAIR DAY (North Valley Gymnastics is doing this all week)
FRIDAY - HAWAIIAN DAY (Dad's choice)
