Isaac and Scouts

Isaac has a fabulous scout leader. He helped Isaac to advance 3 ranks in the last few months. A couple weeks ago Isaac received his Tenderfoot and Second Class ranks. In just a couple weeks he will earn his First Class rank. I have really appreciated the work his scouts leaders do in training my young man. Since these leaders have come in, Isaac has become excited about scouting and has learned a lot.

End of the year...finally

With the end of the school year comes all the concerts.







Hazel participated in a dance camp over at the high school. They got to perform for the dance team's spring concert. Hazel danced to "Party in the USA". She was so excited and had so much fun! She did a fabulous job.










Aspen and Isaac had their spring band concerts last week. Aspen was in Wind Ensemble, the school's top band. She has really enjoyed playing the flute and they played well.







Isaac has been playing percussion in band. It's a good fit for him. He loves to move around and play different instruments for the band. He played the marimba, the bass drum, snare, and bells. His favorite was playing the vibraphone. At the band festival, the judges noted his skills particularly. He was very pleased. I'm happy he has found something that he enjoys. Their band played some fun numbers: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, Inspector Gadget, Do-Re-Mi, and a piece that depicted a prehistoric dinosaur battle (it was very fun).

Hopefully, the will be able to participate in band in their new school next year. We'll see.
