Julia in the News

Somehow Julia managed to get into the St. Agnes newsletter for 3 straight weeks.

Week 1: Julia and Matti-Jane playing game



Week 2: Julia working on board



Week 3: Julia and friends


 

In week 4 Julia won 'Student of the Month' but only her name appeared in the newsletter, so the streak was broken.

Students were recognized during mass

Trapeze Party

Summer K has a trapeze party for her birthday. Julia was not afraid!

Video shows that after a couple practices, Julia was ready for a back flip. Later she did a hand-off to a person on an adjacent swing.

15th Anniversary

 We were a few days late from our actual anniversary, but Doug made up for it with some cool shoes.


Julia helps with pictures - notice the cool shoes!



Boring picture ... except for the cool shoes.

Day off - Autobahn

Kids were off, Sara had to work, so Doug took the day off. 

While RJ was getting warts removed, Julia hung out with Amelia at Bill & Carol's house


After some tutoring and some lacrosse/soccer in front yard, we went to Autobahn with Bradley. The pictures were mostly blurry because I didn't set the shutter speed correctly.

The first race was rather slow because there were 10 people (including 2 kids who crashed a lot). The second race was down to 6 and they speeded it up a bit. Then the kids and Bradley got the track to themselves for the last race.

Half School - Half Zoo

After a half day in school (zoo 1), Sara took kids to the real zoo. Pandas just sat there, monkeys were fun, and the sea otters were the crowd favorite.

Apple Picking

Sara took the kids apple picking at Homestead Farms. Doug was not there ... so we got a LOT of apples.

Kids spent 30 minutes feeding the goats


The big ones were at the top (not recommended)
