Some pictures from the edge of camp

During Kai’s recent visit he had an assignment to bring a few pictures back of his home town. We went on a little photo safari around camp and here are some that we took from the R-field jebels.

Attending the Spooner Rodeo parade is a summer tradition for the Jacobs family. We sat with Grandma and Grandpa Jacobs and the Post family and had the treat of watching Kai march with the Spooner Boy Scouts carrying a flag at the head of the parade with the Amvets.

Kai at the resort hoping that lunch will not involve raw fish. Meals tended to involve a lot of raw fish, often when not expected.

Nora’s Dance Recital – Hip Hop and Ballet

Nora’s dance recital was this last weekend and she did a great job — her whole dance troop did! All of her hard work for the year really paid off!

Yeouch! Looks painful but she pulled it off

There were a lot more dancers in the hip hop piece and they moved around a lot more. It was harder to get pictures.

Even the backstage moms got to come on stage. Here Crystal #2 gets recognized after the finale.

A last trip to Bahrain

Last weekend was our last trip to Bahrain. Not forever, I’m sure, but certainly for this school year as with Ramadan coming a trip to Bahrain just isn’t the same. We picked up some clothes and shoes at the mall, saw the Avengers movie (liked it) and then hung out at the motel and beach. We took the kids our to a rare fancy dinner at the Meat Co. Overall a great weekend.

It is like Forever 21 is never going to open.

Stopping at Starbucks for a treat before the stores open in the mall.

I guess it is cold in the Meat Co. Kai cleans up nice in a collared shirt.

Nora Spring Activities

Nora has had a full spring as well. In this gallery you can see some of her projects including Girl Scouts, cooking and her performance in the 5th grade talent show. She and a friend wanted to do a piece together so they kept searching to find something they could both do. They landed on a mime act. Nora was sick the day of the talent show but they performed later at a school assembly.
