Whitney had a Mothers Day Piano Recital. She has been practicing for quite a while and did another good job. This one was held at a church here in Stafford.

Me and Whitney went to a Girl Scout Father Daughter date last week. It was pretty fun. We went miniature golfing. The only trouble was that there was a lot of girls there and they had everyone come at once, so there was an hour long line just to get to the first tee.
So me and Whitney went to Baskin Robbins and got some ice cream. Her favorite is chocolate, so she had a big ice cream cone of chocolate ice cream. Afterwards, we went back to the golf place (we were on my motorcycle, by the way, which is a lot of fun to take out on nights like that) and played. Whitney ended up winning 71-84. She had a lot of fun.
The other picture is of all the tigers watching a movie on Netflix. Me and Heidi just discovered it in the living room one day and thought it was a funny picture.

Sometimes at school the kids get to use the computers. One day when Mason was using one he wrote a story about a dragon. Mason really likes dragons, so I’m sure he could have made his story even longer.
Anyway, he wrote the whole story himself, and sounded out all the words all alone. So I had him read the story. (The last page doesn’t show up for some reason; I’ll have to see if I can fix that.)

Mason had his first T-Ball game of the season last Saturday. He has been pretty excited about it, as opposed to last year, and did really well in the practices. The bad thing is that he didn’t get to bat last, so he didn’t hit any home runs this past game.
He did get to play first base though, which he did pretty well at, and also when he was playing near the pitcher’s mound he got a couple balls hit to him, which he fielded well and threw to first.

This past weekend we packed up and headed out camping. We went to Shenandoah River State Park, which is about 70 miles from here. It only has a few campsites, and no room for trailers, so it has a kind of more rustic than normal feel to it. There aren’t any trash cans, for instance, but there are showers. It is along the banks of the Shenandoah River and is a very nice place to stay.
We got there on Friday and no sooner had gotten the tent set up than it started to rain. And it rained hard. We were all in the tent, trying to not touch the roof or sides which would let the water in. Luckily, the tent repelled most of the water and we only had a few leaks around the corners of the tent, which we soaked up with towels.
The next day more than made up for it, however, because it was a really nice day. The weather was perfect and the sun was shining. We took our rubber boat down the river and had a lot of fun. There were a couple copperhead snakes (more…)

A few weeks ago I went on a ski-camping trip with a couple friends. Here’s the article from the Post Register: Teton ski trip
