Hanna & Ruby VA Post 1

Hanna and Ruby flying "alone"

 Fly safe!

 They started out in Washington DC

 They visit the DC temple.

 It was under construction so they just walk around the grounds

and the visitor center.

 Silly girls. 

 Day 2: Floated down the Shenandoah River in Virginia.

 Enjoying floating down the river.

Day 3: Visited the Philadelphia Temple and did baptisms there.

Toured and ate at the Reading Terminal Market and visited Liberty Bell.

Kicking off Summer Break

We actually saw the Pokemon movie, not Angry Birds.

 While the little kids play in the sand.

 Splash pad fun.

Daisy made her very own gluten free cake.

Max Got His License & A Car

Max helped pay for his new Toyota 4 Runner!

 

 He's one happy teenager!

 Max passed his driving test!

Max didn't think he passed. I was registering his car

and he came and told me the driver teacher wanted

to talk with me, so he said I think that means I failed.

When I finished registering the car I went over and talked 

with the instructor. They pretty much just say all the things he 

did wrong. Then he said and you PASSED! Both Max and I

said, wait I/he passed? Yes! He passed! He actually got an 87%

better than Danny and I. We both got an 80% on ours. Ha!

But they had us schedule his drivers pic. and paperwork 2 days later, 

so he was able to drive 2 days after he passed his test.

Last Day of School

Hanna and Van are ecstatic, I promise! 

 There's the excitement I was waiting for!

 Sad about leaving friends. Some friends going to new schools next year.

Ditch Day

5th Grade Ditch Day for Daisy and Walt

My friend Toni did Daisy's hair for her.

 I took Jane and Clark to the beach and visited my dad.

 There was a fun park on the beach in Huntington. 

It was cold and windy though.

 8th Grade Ditch Day for Hanna

 Hanna had actually got in trouble at school the week before the

8th grade trip and wasn't allowed to go with her school on the trip.

I had spoken with the principal and agreed that Hanna would not

go with the school to the 8th grade trip. Hanna is an excellent student

and has been at this school for 5 years and has never been in any type of

trouble, not CPT'd or RPC'd...nothing! However, one day in class she 

thought it would be funny to light a match. As soon as she did it she blew

it out and knew it was a stupid choice she made. She felt really bad about it, she

completely understood why she received some harsh punishments from the school.

Anyway, I felt it wasn't something she had to miss her 8th grade trip over.

So I brought her myself! 

There was some drama from the principal and a couple

teachers that I felt was uncalled for, but I don't regret bringing her. 

She deserved to go and still had a great day!
