our new parker library

posted by owen

yesterday, all of us were part of a human bookworm at the opening of our new neighborhood library. the parker library built and moved into a new space. so to celebrate it's opening, people were given the opportunity to sign up to be a human bookworm where 21 books (to celebrate 21 years in the old library space) were passed from person to person starting at the old location and being handed person-to-person to the new location. once all the books were safely at the new location, we all went to the grand opening to enjoy some of the festivities and explore the awesome library.

texas trip 2016

posted by owen, everett and eloise

we went to visit umma and uppa in texas and we all traveled to corpus christi to fish and enjoy the water. umma set us up with a great suite on the navy base so we got to see real pilots as we drove around. it was great to get to spend time with them. we ate yummy food, played outside and even got to do some fishing while we were there. we can't wait to go back.
