Field Trip!!!

Paige went to Des Moines this Friday (May 9). She went with the junior high from her school
(Ireton Christian School). First they went to Living History Farms.

Learning about the 1800 farmyard life.

Trying to find our way out of the farm onto the rail road station.

Learning about the 1900 farmyard life.

Waiting for the rest of the crew while Hanah Van Beek tries to stick her leg under the deck.... crazy her!

Then they went to The Governor's Mansion. Paige said that they were not allowed to take pics inside, but here are a few from the outside.

Their tour guide explaining the history of the the mansion's backyard..... did you know there use to be a pool back there!

The tour guide is now explaining how the town's people come and plant flowers in the mansion's garden every May.

This is the whole group standing in front of the Governor's Mansion. Sounds like they had a lot of fun!

Ant no, I did not go.... Deanne Dekkers took these pics. So thank you Deanne for sharing them!

This is the whole clan before Easter church service saying, " May God bless you all"!

There is a mouse in our house, but know one minds because it's Mini Mouse! Especially our Peanut. She LOVES Mini Mouse. She has a Mini Mouse cup, she only wears Mini Mouse panties, and if she does something wrong she says that Mini Mouse said to do it. That's why when I found this huge, soft, Mini Mouse, I just had to get her. Sure enough, Peanut loved her! She took her out of the box and with a huge smile she said, "She's just my size!"

Here are some pictures of the other kids enjoying some of their gifts.

Mimime with her first pair of dangly cross earrings. She's also sporting a new watch from Grandma F.

LiviJ is SUPER excited about getting the movie Rio, while rarely taking off the Lion stocking hat she got from Grandma F the day before.

Bman loving his remote control helicopter.

K is super excited about all of her gifts.

Everyone enjoying the new Wii.

And last, but not least, a Christmas picture of the kids after their Christmas program. I am really enjoying their Christmas vacation. I have seen so many smiles, and heard so many laughs coming out of the toy room this past week. The kids have been building forts, playing house, making puzzles (the kind that take hours to put together), playing with their new toys, reading, and just enjoying each other's company. I'm soaking it all up. We pray you all had a blessed Christmas.
