Becoming quick friends

The bus ride inspired them to take their own pics!











A broken tree brought lots of improvisation.

One last look at the water, Ray man is going for a tadpole!  It was a great day. Even the rain couldn't damper our fun.  Now Eddie Ray wants to go to my school.  He loves Mrs. Taylor.  Actually she was suppose to be his teacher this year, then she moved.  I love working with her she's awesome.  We worked together at Perkins when Dan & I started dating.

  1. When did you come? I didn't even know you were with the group that came! (But, I miss a lot of the groups while I'm writing in my office.) Glad you had a fun day. If you come again, you'll have to stop in the office and say hello. :)
