Home for a while, then on the road again

These few weeks are crazy in our household. Z2, Kiki Aru and I arrived home from Caldwell on Saturday. The picture above shows Kiki Aru and her two friends doing their performance on the conflict of the Salem Witch Trials. They did a great job.

I'll post the documentary Z2 made with her friends on the Conflict and Compromise of the Coeur d'Alene Indian's Tribe soon.

PKR and The Princess hop on a bus tomorrow morning and head to State Speech competition in Rupert, Idaho. They'll return early Sunday morning.

Today, Kiki Aru is in Coeur d'Alene at Triple Play for a band field trip.

Z2 takes off to the Great White North on Sunday morning to a trip to Inverness, British Columbia on a band trip. She'll return on Tuesday.

Then there is my schedule. I go away for the weekend to the beautiful town of Cataldo for a Women's Encounter weekend with some ladies from our church. I get home Sunday afternoon, then I take a few deep breaths and prepare for my trip to Boise the next morning for my spring Gear Up conference. I'll be back on Wednesday afternoon.

If reading this schedule tires you out, just think how I am feeling!!

But I'll get to spend some time with some friends in Boise, so that will be good. I look forward to that.

So if you don't hear much from me in the next week, you'll know why.

Sunshine On My Shoulder Makes Me Happy

College of Idaho

What a welcome sight. We arrived in Caldwell, Idaho this afternoon, and there is blue sky and SUN!!!





We have traveled down here for Idaho State History Day.






Z2, Kiki Aru and I got on a bus at Kellogg Middle School at 6 a.m. this morning (and this is one of those Alpha Omega charter buses...not a yellow school bus) and we traveled down through Washington and Oregon to arrive here this afternoon, to pleasant weather.





We did run into some snow on the Blues, and ran into problems a few times when the normal rest areas that we usually stop at were closed because of the snow. But we survived.





It was amazing to go to dinner, and see green grass and sprinkler systems running. There were fruit trees in bloom.





Okay, it has been a very long winter in the Silver Valley.





I look forward to being at College of Idaho tomorrow. It is a beautiful campus, and we can again enjoy some more of the beautiful flowers and grass.





I'll give an update tomorrow night on how the girls do in their respective categories. Z2 is doing a Junior Division Group Documentary on "The Conflict and Compromise of the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe's Culture". Kiki Aru is doing a Junior Group Performance on "The Conflict of the Salem Witch Trials".





Goodnight.
