End of the School Year

Tomorrow is finally the last day of school for the boys. Teachers still have school on Monday. We will be leaving for Idaho on Tuesday 6/23. We will return to California July 3rd. Ted has summer school during July and will continue his 5 hours a week of tutoring. Travis is taking some classes at the La Brea Tar Pits and the Aquarium of the Pacific. Both boys will be swimming in July and August. When summer school is over Ted will go to his first sleep away camp in the San Bernadino Mountains. So summer will be very busy for us.

We Want to be stars!

In April Ted and Travis competed in a local mall talent search competition. They each won a 1 year contract with Model Productions. They have also been interviewed by One Source Talent Agency. We have been busy getting their photos and resumes completed for the talent agency. They think they are going to be stars.

Our Spring Break 2009

For our Spring Break we went to the Grand Canyon. We spent the first night at Williams, Arizona. We took the Grand Canyon Railway to the Grand Canyon. We spent the night at the Maswick Lodge at the Grand Canyon. The first day we took a rim tour and a ranger nature hike. The second day we participated in the ranger fossil program in the morning and then we hiked down the Angel Bright trail. This is the trail that goes to the bottom of the canyon. We hiked down an hour and then hiked back up in 1 hour and 15 minutes because Travis ran all the way up the canyon and kept coming back to complain if Ted and I stopped to rest. We then took the train back to Williams where we spent another night. The boys enjoyed the outdoor activities.
