Field Hockey
Meghan is having a great season! The 5/6 grade teams are so much more skilled than the 3/4 grade teams!
That's Meghan by the ball -- red shirt #75:
Assistant Coach Daddy, below. Meghan has had the same head coach her whole FH career - 5 seasons. Coach Rob (not pictured) is from the Netherlands where it is common for men to play FH.

Bowling is Fun!
Meghan helps Tressa line up her second shot:
Tressa does a dance after a successful roll:
Good roll, Meg? She's too dumbfounded to answer.
The final scoreboard... the boys are the big winners!

Letterboxing on our Twelfth Anniversary
We're off from Lake Audubon, going into the woods seeking three letterboxes!
After spending at least a half hour finding exactly the right spot, we find box 1 is missing. bummer. We knew this was likely since nobody had found this box since April 2007, and about 10 people had recorded seeking it. Here's where it should have been:
So we hiked on and found box 2 about a half hour later.
Now we are very deep in the woods on the verge of discovering box 3. The hollow tree with the tangled roots behind us is the final landmark. Here I am re-reading the clues, getting us oriented just right, and looking for the huge tree that twists half-way up. Box 3 should be at its base!
Found the tree a good way off the path and uphill, so Meghan and Evan went by themselves to retrieve the box. Here they are bringing it to the rest of us.
Stamping in our find!
Ahhhh. Glad to be out of the woods and out of the backpack! Now off to a very late lunch at Cal Tort!
