Camper of the day

Each day the teachers select 2 campers each to be camper of the day. Their choice is informed by the chaperones and teachers, based on who's engaged, helping out, etc. Tim was quite pleased to be chosen.

Throwing the atl-atl

Part of outdoor school is learning some prehistory and trying to start a fire with a bow and throwing the at-atl. Tim threw it pretty far.

Dissecting owl pellets

Tim and his classmates are dissecting owl pellets. He found a full skull of a rodent. Pretty cool!

(Holly and Tim are at Outdoor School this week.  Expect a few more blog posts about it.)

Grandpa Bullock turns 75!

We celebrated Grandpa B's 75th birthday with the whole family (minus Uncle Eric)!  Luckily Sidra was on hand to help blow out the candles.  Aunt Heather came to town and we had a good time hanging out and engaging in general silliness.

Dumpster, Sledgehammer and Two Boys = Fun!

We got a dumpster with a few neighbors recently and had a great time using the sledgehammer to destroy things.  The inaugural object was a broken toilet.  We made a lot of noise!

Championship Track Meet

Joe's final track meet of the year was on Saturday.  He threw discuss, shot put and turbo javelin and also ran the 400.  While he was competing, the rest of us had fun cheering.  Thanks for being there Grandparents!

How many teeth did Tim loose in 10 days?

If you answered 6, you'd be correct.  The Tooth Fairy's been a little busy at our house.  I'm surprised Tim still has any teeth left!

Fence Update

Okay, not so much an update but additional information.

We decided the proper width between the boards was a dog nose, specifically Batsy's.  She can also get her tongue in between them pretty easily.

Especially when we're feeding her pepperoni to get a good picture.
