Apple Academy Class of 2012

Jack had a great time this year at the Apple Academy with Mrs. Blackett. They did some really fun activities like visiting a farm, pumpkin patch and park plus a Halloween party and Easter Egg Hunt. They also learned shapes, colors, farm animals and letters! I asked Jack if it was mostly hard work or mostly fun and he said mostly hard work!! He is already looking forward to seeing his friends and teacher again next year!!

Easter Egg Rolling 2012

 Easter 2012

 Great Grandma Kayle's favorite Easter activity is rolling eggs...

 First you find a large sandy area with no crazy four wheelers whizzing around (not an easy task)...

 Then you sit on your bum and slide (or get dragged) down a hill to make a "track" for your eggs...

 then you use shovels, hands and whatever else you can find to smooth out your track, build turns and tunnels...

 Then you race your eggs!!

 Jack and his cousin Trae had a blast!!

 We had the best Easter weather for egg rolling!

 Jack's "track" made with help from Grandma and Trae..

 The hardest part was getting UP!

 Easter Morning 2012

 This was Jack's confused face.. We had told him since he was being a monster in the days preceding Easter that he probably would  not be getting a bike. He asked "Mom, who is this bike for? It looks small for you..."

 Checking out his Easter goodies, and Mom and Dad's basket too.

 He hopped right on his bike and rode like a pro!

 Getting help from Dad...
