Gone Fishin'

Cub Scout Fishing Derby

Lucas wanted to join cub scouts this year at St. Brigid. Tonight was the first pack meeting and it included the Fishing Derby at the Dublin Rec Center. The problem was no one told us about it until about 5 hours before. You probably know that we are not fishermen. So we had no poles or anything. But our wonderful friend, Joanie, had plenty and let us borrow 2 and even gave us bait! (The boys have fished before in the pond behind Joanie's house.) So now we were set. Greg helped Lu get the worms on the hook and he was fishing!! I think he really had a good time accept for the fact that he caught not one fish! This really frustrated him. Nonetheless, it was a beautiful evening and lots of boys to play with! So all was good!

A Trip to Eygpt?

9.4.09

Mac's class took a field trip to COSI to catch the final days of the Egpyt exhibit. I was lucky enough to chaperone the trip.The exhibit was great, but the best part was the movie on the giant screen about mummies!! SO cool!!

My group: Mac, Brent, Cam, and Nick
This could have been a great picture if Mac would have smiled and Brent had his eyes open.

Mac got to ride a camel!!!!Cool xrays and MRI's,

The camel and the sixth grade class. Can you find the camel?

In line for the "make you spin until you throw up ride". See Mrs. Schnegg up there?

Leaving the ride... doesn't Patrick look a little green???

My "baby" cousin/Godchild, Angie is having her first baby. Her sisters gave her a baby shower at my Aunt Geni and Uncle Tom's house in Toledo. I drove up for it and was so glad I did. We had a great time! I don't get to them enough!

Here is me with my cousins... Tonda, me, Erin, Angie, and Jenny. (Theresa was working unfortunately.)
