The Zoo, Tinkerbell, and Grandma Nancy's bead necklace making

As you may notice, I'm really behind in my blogging.  So these last pictures should finish May this year.
 
Here is Krysta's class at the Zoo. 

Here they are again, with the teacher.  She was a great teacher.  Krysta really liked her.  This is the whole class.  Yes, 5 boys and 2 girls.  She never really was happy about that.  But she made some really great friends (boys and girl) in her class.

This was Krysta's most requested hair-do.  We call it  "Tinkerbell Hair".

We went down to Payson in May for Lauren and Craig's baby blessing.  I have no pictures of that event or of beautiful baby Hazel, but I got some cute ones of bead-necklace-making, which is something we often do at Grandma Nancy's house.

Crazy Hair Day at School

Spirit week at school is a BIG deal around here.  We actually remembered the camera on crazy hair day.  Actually, I should say that Scott remembered it, because HE did crazy hair day ALL BY HIMSELF.  I was gone on a bike ride that morning, and it was his day off.  We had completely forgotten about crazy hair day.  But the kids did NOT.  Scott is such a good dad!  Look at these pictures!
 
Emalyn's hair was her idea.  She went out in the backyard and picked some branches and leaves to have "TREE HAIR".  She also did all her own pony tails.  Scott helped her stick the branches and leaves in her hair.
 





Tyler did spikes and spray painted them black.  It looked pretty awesome!


Cress Creek Nature Trail

Sometime in May, we hiked the Cress Creek Nature Trail.  It's a one-mile, paved trail, but with kids, ANYTHING counts as a hike, right?
Raring to get on the trail!


One of many beautiful views

We met some great people who took a picture of us

Another beautiful view

Cheering because we made it to the top! The girls weren't sure we'd ever make it up that STEEP hill, so this bench was well-placed at the top.


This watercress is lining the whole creek along the trail, hence the name "Cress Creek"

It was so pretty.  All that green, in May in Idaho.  A very rare sight.

Heading back down the trail.




Emalyn got passed..Krysta was in a hurry to get back and eat some lunch!
