Hawaii

Saturday, June 24th, 2006

A few pictures from our annual trip to Hawaii. Here are some pictures of sunset (including Katy). Here are some pictures from snorkeling, Elizabeth saw squid and she and Margaret saw a ray of some kind. She didn’t get a picture of the ray.

Margaret’s first grade class did their rendition of the Three Little Pigs. Margaret had a line welcoming everyone to the play. Like an opera, most of the play was sung.

Mariposa

Sam had his last day of school for the year. Everyone at the school is upset because his teacher (and the teacher that Margaret had for years) will not be coming back next year.

Chorus

Thursday, June 8th, 2006

Katy had her choral concert at school. It was actually a concert for all the music. The band, the strings, and the chorus all played for us. The chorus was the best. Lots of “Hot Cross Buns” and the like from the others.

Margaret had her second piano recital this weekend. Unfortunately, I was in Japan for the first one. She did well.
