End of school year 2026

Honors night at Crater. Lila and Andrew both received awards for their academic excellence. Yay! Andrew looks thrilled.

Best buddies academic-ing together.

End of track season district meet. She placed 7th amongst some impressive hurdles.

We took the kids and some friends to Avenue of the Giant Boulders and Mill Creek Falls on Memorial Day. It was a nice afternoon outing.
