Rain Gutter Regatta

The Cub Scouts held their annual Rain Gutter Regatta last month. Here's Justin with his sail boat that he designed with Doug. It was pretty stiff competition, but he actually won some races!

San Marcos Street Fair

We had a lot of fun at the annual San Marcos Street Fair last month. Here Justin is driving the fire engine.

The kids really enjoy the Geico Insurance commercials on T.V., so they were very excited to get to pose with the Gecko.

Alexa's souvenir for the day was this parasol~perfect for her fair skin!

American Girl Fashion Show!!!

Alexa was fortunate enough to be chosen to be in the American Girl Fashion Show on March 12. There were strict regulations against any pictures being taken during the program, but the models were allow to bring disposable cameras and take pictures back stage. Above & below are some of the shots Alexa got.

Alexa was the "Julie" character from the 70's era. She was in the sleepwear scene. Here she is in her costume with other characters from the scene.

Alexa had such a great cheering section! Above she posed with Katherine, Nicole, Clara & Cameron after the show. In addition to these girls were Mom, Dad, Justin, Christine, Riley, Denise, Anita, Betsy, Emmy, Ann, Ali & Monique! What great support!!

Pinewood Derby!

Last month, Justin joined a Cub Scout troup! Here he is with Alexa in his Cub Scout (Tiger's) uniform.

The first event he got to participate in was the Pinewood Derby! He spent a lot of time designing his car-above is the finished product.

Here he is in his first race. He wasn't a winner this year-but we have lots of ideas for next year.

4th Grade Field Trip to Mission San Luis Rey

Like most 4th graders, Alexa's class has been studying the California missions this semester. Yesterday we got to go on a field trip to Mission San Luis Rey.

After touring all the sites around the mission, we had a tour inside the chapel.

Here is the class; Audrey, Megan, Hope, Annabelle, Caleb, Kaleb, Reagan, Anne, Kyzer, Cole, Alexa & Elise in front of one of the oldest still standing arches.

Justin starts Martial Arts

Justin started martial arts this month! It is held at North Coast Calvary Chapel-a satellite location for the main studio in Rancho Bernardo. He is really enjoying it. Here he is with his teacher.

Chess Tournament

Justin played in his first chess tournament last week. He won 3 games! It was a good opportunity for him to play with other 1st/2nd graders and work on his sportsmanship.
