Holly’s Visit

Holly with Daniel and David

Holly taught at Karshner last year (2008-09) and quickly endeared herself to the staff and to our family.  After school ended last year, she took an opportunity to travel the world by teaching in Thailand for two years.  She recently returned for a quick visit and came by to meet the boys.  Sary-Jo, Holly, Daniel and David went to the Point Defiance Zoo and had a great time.  It was fantastic to catch up with Holly and the boys quickly attached to her.  Click the photo to see more.

Field Day

June 9 was one of the rainiest days in Puyallup.  It was also the date selected as Field Day for the Karshner Tigers.  Despite the downpour, the kids had a great time playing.  Here are a few pictures of the boys enjoying themselves.  Click on the picture shown to see the others.

Field Day

Sylvia Lake

David & Daniel

On Saturday, Mike and Mary hosted a family gathering to celebrate Grammy’s birthday and also Nathan’s birthday. It was a great day for throwing baseballs, lazing around the lake, and fishing. It was the boys’ first fishing experience and Daniel caught a fish in the first few minutes!

We enjoyed time with family, and the food was great too.  We took lots of pictures and we’re just going to post all of them.  Click on the photo to see the rest.

Pioneer Farm

Daniel at Pioneer Farm

Daniel’s third-grade class took a field trip to Pioneer Farm, in Orting. This farm teaches the kids about Pioneer life – Sarah and Janel used to enjoy trips there also. Many thanks to Stacey for taking pictures for us – they tell the story pretty well. Click the picture to see more.
