Sunday Evening Geocache Adventure

 We discovered geocaching this year, and we've found that it's a lovely thing to do on pleasant Sunday evenings. Here we are on our way to hunt down another geocache.
 Jolie and Eva couldn't resist a a yoga pose on the top of a fence.
 Can you see the camouflaged plastic box? We took a little car from the box, signed our names on the log, and put in a red rubber thingy we found on our walk (we forgot to gather something meaningful before we left).
 Then we played on this hillside for a while. Rocco was enthusiastic, even though he's been having some back problems lately. He's too overweight for his poor little daschund spine. He was limpy after this foray into the wild.
 Triumph!

Academic Awards Assemblies

 We got a new camera recently. It's a cool camera (compared to other cameras we've had), but unfortunately, I'm not a very cool photographer. But I have been practicing, so I hope to improve. My first real camera practice day occurred during the academic awards assemblies, so these pictures are, uh, bad. But here's Spencer with his Honor Roll certificate. Yea, Spencer!
 And here's Eva with her High Honor Roll certificate. Yea, Eva!
 And here is Ms. Wolfer's class, getting in line to march out of the assembly.
And here is the playground swarmed with children who are so grateful to be outside without their winter coats and hats and gloves. Ah, blessed March.

Swimming

 Spencer and Rodrigo get ready to race!
 Spencer gets ready to blast off.
 Hooray! He won the 50 Freestyle and the 100 IM.
The best part of the Pizza Meet is.......Pizza!
