Balloon Launch 2009!

Last Friday we did our annual Balloon Launch! We launched some balloons with notes in them and if anyone found them, we asked them to write us back telling us how far the balloon went! So far, Diana and David have had a note returned to them! One was from Fort Gratiot, MI and one was from Burton, MI. The furthest so far was 92 miles! Wow!

We made our new birdhouses for the gardens in crafts. Have a look around in our gardens when you stop by - you'll be sure to spot one!

Cinco de Mayo!

It was Cinco de Mayo May 5th so we made some homemade sombreros! We even had a contest to see who would win the "Best Decorated Sombrero" - David won! Then after that there was a large Mexican dinner!

Here's Marion at crafts before she decorated her hat.
