If I was a turkey...

Damen's story that he wrote on Monday. If I was a turkey.... Below the picture is the translated version!I will get a tree cutter and chop down the fence. I will run and run to the mall. I will go in the toy section and pretend like I am a toy.

The creativity it what I enjoy the most!

This Thanksgiving it will be me, Boo, Dillon, Devin, Damen, Uncle Shane, Grandma Renee, and Grandpa Kim.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Trick or Treating

Grandma and I could not be left out of the fun! No we did not collect candy, we helped carry the bags as they got quite full rather quickly. About 5 minutes around the neighborhood Dillon ran into a group of friends from school and ditched us. However, he actually got home before we did so they must not have been much fun :) Boo, Grandpa Kim, and Uncle Shane stayed home and handed out candy. Uncle Shane came and picked up Damen after only a couple of blocks of Trick-or-Treating, guess his bag was full enough. Devin wanted to keep on going until his bag was full to the top. It was a beautiful night, no wind, and little chill factor so we were able to keep on going, about 1 1/2 hours worth. We didn't make it to a completely full bag before it was time to call it a night. Believe me he got plenty of candy. Damen is a little Devil (pretty fitting), Dillon is an Old Man, and Devin is the Grim Reaper. Quinn decided against going...must be an age thing? I thought I went when I was in high school??

Day 1 - Teton Science School

The first day we spent some time in Jackson Hole before heading to the Science School. Here is my group of 4 boys under the Elk Antler Arch. They were not much fun to shop with unless we were in the candy store or the toy store!

In front of Wyoming's Largest Totem pole.

We had a long day that day as we left Casper at 5 a.m. Monday was pretty much a relaxing day and getting to know the instructors. Everyday started with wake-up call at 6:30 a.m., breakfast at 7:30, meet our guide at 9 a.m. to head out. We usually returned between 4 and 4:30, supper at 5:30 and then a final class at 7:00 - 8:45. We had some free time which was either spent in the dorms or playing outside. The weather was fabulous, in the 50's! Each day the kids had to clean up after either the breakfast or dinner meal as the Science School does not employ janitors. This really taught the kids about leaving a mess. They got the chance to use the big kitchen dishwashing system, sweep floors, wipe tables, etc. There is a private school for Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade, tuition is only $15,000 a year!! The program includes lots of field work in the outdoors, what an experience.
