AWANA derby car night

Ive been leading an AWANA group up here for the last 3 years and Parker is now a "Sparkie". They hold a box wood car derby every year and this year we got to participate. Parker helped to make his "Sonic" car and I had to do a truck, of course, with a "Thirty-One" theme.

Parker took 1st place for the design category and I got 2nd for Design. Our cars were pretty fast but we had some great competition in the speed department! It was a lot of fun. I hope we get to do it again next year!

He's 6!

Our little "big" man has turned 6! We celebrated with a few of our close Kodiak friends LEGO style. It was fun scouring "Pinterest" to find creative ways to make the day memorable. Including plating the song from the movie which I can't seem to get out of my head now!

GeoCache Kings, a queen & a princess.

Over the last year my husband has gotten our family into Geocaching. If you have not heard about it, it's really fun, easy and great for kids. There is a website that leads you to different spots to find the cache (not $$). Our kids love to find them and see what treasures may be inside. These are usually stickers or small $1 toys. It's been so fun to do while up here in Alaska. We went the other day and I finally discovered one-Matt usually spots the hidden containers before I do-But not this time. I can't wait to find more on our treck backdown south. Try geocaching with your family. It's a great excuse to get outside and explore!
