Good ole Cass

The dog I thought I never liked.... died March 1st, and I realized I really did like her :)

She was a great dog for these kids, easy going and usually full of energy.

We had a lot of great trips down to the beach, a lot of fetching, and a lot of hiking.

We made a cross for her and left her chain on it outside the cabin.

We had a great weekend remembering her and enjoying this place of solace.

Rest in Peace Cassy

Oklahoma

 Jake had his "State Fair" this last week at school.  You may ask "why" Oklahoma?  No one we know lives there....we have never visited the state.....  But, Kevin Durrant plays for the Oklahoma NBA team!  Reason enough for Jake to pick it!!! 

This was such an intense project.  The kid worked on it for weeks.  When Jake was done he had a three page typed paper about Oklahoma, their government, products, agriculture, population, sights to see.... and much more! 

Yes, I learned that Oklahoma has the most tornadoes in the United States per square mile :)

For their presentations, they had to bring in at least five products representing Oklahoma, make a brochure, and dress in a costume to represent the state.
