For todays activity the kids had a fashion show with some of their friends. Each one found a skirt and a pair of shoes from Jordan's closet and put together their own creative outfit. The shows theme was "Modest is the Hottest".

These were the winners!

         

 

Eagle Scout

Trey received his Eagle Scout Award June 14, 2008 in a ceremony honoring 6 scouts in Troop 1046.  Trey's Eagle project included clearing and replanting a 60 ft x 60 ft area at the Bloomfield Hills Nature Center that had been damaged by Dutch Elm Disease.  Trey had 70 volunteers for a total of 221.5 service hours.  One of the badges Trey earned that most represents his experience during his scouting years is the Portuguese Interpreters Strip.  Trey was the class interpreter in his young men/sunday school class translating the English taught lesson into Portuguese for the Brazilian members of the class.  Great work Trey! 

       

       

 

Beginning of Summer!

We've been celebrating summer here by going to Greenfield Village, playing at the malls play-land (a giant replica of a picnic) and hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa. Needless to say, it's been a busy week.

    We rode the train around the park

We rode in the horse carriage pulled by Abe and Lincoln

The merry-go-round played one of our favorite songs

  "In the Good Old Summertime" 

We played tag on life sized food 

(Nick felt like superman jumping off the food)
