Clara's First Homework - Counting backward in Espanol

Clara is enrolled in Jackson Elementary's Dual Immersion program, in which she spend half of each day in an all Spanish classroom setting, followed by a half day in an English setting. It's so exciting knowing Clara will be bilingual from now on...these kids are so lucky getting foreign language skills from such an early age.

Labor Day Play

Clara was playing in the sand box and decided to get into tree planting.

Climbing at Hidden Falls

Daddy got back from the Winds last night and took me to Hidden Falls to climb and pick berries. I got all the way up the Basic Slabs in 8 pitches. It rocked. So did I.
Look at where we went:

That's right...right up to the big pine tree. And we did it in 8 pitches. Here I am pulling up on pitch 5, right after the bathtub pitch.

We picked huckleberries on the way back to the boat, and two days later I started Kindergarten. Life sure is good!

Skiing in the Park

May 16, 2010

Snow is mostly gone at the Jenny Lake level. Ice was still in last Monday. We found a strip on the north side of a swail in the sage brush flats, and skied out a quarter mile, and coulda gone further. Instead we dug a snow cave and made a snow bunny.

Daddy pulled the sled, and I skied behind.


Snowplay at its best!

Clara comes up with some of the greatest stuff! Here, she shows us a box with an old friend's name on it.

Some of the best entertainment around here comes at the table. Here, Clara reflects what's been on her mind lately.
