Cami at the Art Show

Cami Art Show 2011

Back in April one of Cami’s drawings was selected to be displayed at an art show in our town. She was very excited as only about 5 kids had been selected from her school. We were excited for, and proud of, her as well. She loves to draw and I think she is very creative.

Here she is posing in front of her drawing.

Easter - 2011

Easter 2011

It’s hard to believe but it’s Easter again. Time is really flying these days.

This year the Easter bunny brought treats and a couple of stuffed puppies. And of course…chocolate! Woohoo! Daddy helped himself to some of the kids' candies.

The kids had a great time coloring their eggs. Most of the eggs were just dyed but then the kids realized that they could get more creative with crayons and the clear wax pencil thingy that came in the dye kit.

Easter Egg 2011 - Cami

This is Cami’s favorite egg. She drew a picture of Remy, her Nanna’s dog.

Easter Egg 2011 - Ian

This is Ian’s egg. He used the wax pencil to make a nice message to his mom.

We also had a great time doing our Easter egg hunt. Below is a short snippet of some of the hunt.

Cami at the School Science Fair - 2011

Cami Science Fair - 2011

This year our school held a science fair. Cami participated but Ian didn’t. We thought, based on the flyer we received, that Ian was not eligible to participate based on his grade level, but when we arrived there were kids in his class that had displays. We were bugged by this. Oh well, maybe next year.

Anyway, Cami did a write-up about the life cycle of the Red-eared Slider Turtle. Here she is in front of her display.

I helped out a little with typing stuff into the computer for the text, etc., but she chose the pictures and helped write the words.

She did a great job…
