February

We had a Valentine Dance for a Relief Society Activity (inviting everyone 18 and older) and had fun learning an Hawaiian line dance and a Russian dance along with the regular dancing.

Over President's Day weekend we went camping at Mt. Hood Village with our friends and neighbors, The McKibbens. Brooke and David were very happy to have their good friends, Paige and Bella, join us.  Mt. Hood Village is a good place to camp in the winter because there are hardly any people there, they have an indoor pool and arcade, and it's not far from some good sledding spots in the snow. Sorry, no pictures of the snow this time.

 Being the Cub Scout Committee Chairperson, I was in charge of the Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet this year.  About 70 people attended and we had taco salads for dinner, cake for dessert, pack meeting awards, and a magician for entertainment.

Nicholas and Zach each played on a basketball team this year.
This was Nicholas' 2nd year and with the same coach as last year.  He is in 5th grade and was on the 5th/6th grade team.
Nicholas is on the top left and his good friends Donald (top right) and Joe (bottom right) were also on his team.
