Les Mils Body Combat Lunch and Kids Heath Expo

Well here was a busy Saturday. Michelle had a body combat lunch at the Plattsmouth Community Center. There was also the Kids Health Expo at the community center that Doug went to For McKnight Family Dental. Then to top that off Samantha had a soccer game that afternoon!

Michelle with Fellow instructor Sara A. They spilt up the tracks and each taught half. They get new choreography every quarter so as soon as they get one down it is time to learn the next material.

Warming up!

Kickin' it!

more kicking and sweating

RPM also had a lunch that day.

As did body pump.

McKnight family Dentals table. Rae Lynn was there too. Kids posed like they did something. They had fun at all the other stuff going on.

Soccer time. Yes, Samantha does have pink hair!

ARRRRRRRR! A Pirate Birthday Party For Alden!

It was a wonderful October day. We had Jake and the Neverland Pirates Soundtrack blasting. Kids in costume. Fun was to be had.

Clair getting out on the playground before the guest arived.

Boys in pirate gear!

Mikena & Alden

What kind of pirate wears an eye patch on top of their head?

First up a 'pin the tail on...' type of game involving an eye patch on a pirate. Time to spin the birthday boy.

Lets just say doing this up hill makes it a little more of a challenge. Alden placed his on the fence. Did it feel like the shed Alden?

Sam cheated and felt her way over to the paper.

Doug spun the older kids more. He got Grant DIZZY!

Mikena's top was spinning but her feet were not.

Next up a ball relay.

Tressure toss to the tressure chest.

Can't belive Alden could see through all that hair.

Present time!

It's Rex!

Group shot. This was the best we could do.

Alden with a pirate cup cake.

Blow!!

Pinata time. Birthday boy goes first.

Then youngest to oldest.

Sam gets a crack at it.

Michelle in to finish off the job.

The madness!

Is Alden using his sword to fight for loot?

Bags of loot and tresure.

Jr. Blackshirts and Some Soccer

Fall is in Full Swing and Sam is loving soccer this year.

Her team is rolling over everybody. That's the advantage of being some of the older kids in the age group.

Other team kicked off. Sam attacks the ball.

She takes the ball.

And Scores.

Now time to head to Lincoln for the Ohio State v. Nebraska game. It was the first Big Ten Game in Memorial Stadium. Also it was the first time Clair was old enough for Jr. Black shirts. The minimum age is two.

Loaded up and rolling towards campus.

Stopped at a park on the way. We got their early to park so tried to have some fun.

Can Alden ever be serious?

So not one picture of all kids looking at the same time.

A stop at the Nebraska Union for some ice cream from the UNL Dairy Store. Now it is time to check into Jr. Blackshirts. They can check in 90min before kick off and we have 45 min to pick them up after the game.

The kids let their balloons go before we went in.

There they go with the rec center in the background

Clair did not want to part with hers

Sam got it away from her and it got stuck in the tree. Some how that was funny to them for days. When they let balloons go now they think they are going to Japan for their friends Caden and Cody to see.

Opening kick off of the game. Turned out to be a great game in the off and on rain that night. When we picked the kids up at 10:45 at night Alden was running around like a wild man with some other boys, Sam was doing crafts, and Clair was sharing her blanket with the other kids.

Kindergarten Field Trip to Bloom Where You're Planted Farm

On October 6th Samantha had her 1st field trip to Bloom Where You're Planted Pumpkin Patch and Farm near Avoca, Nebraska. I got to meet her there and spend the day with her!

I can't believe she's this big already!

Playing with her friends

Pumping the water!

In the hay maze with her friend Kaia.

Dressing up a scarecrow!

INSIDE the tire swing!

Checking out the horses! (Not getting to close since she's allergic...)

Looking at all the different types of pumpkins with her class.

K-1 Class with Mrs. Morrison

Trying to rope a cow with her best friend Jayda!

Riding a horse swing made out of tires.

She loved this!

She spent lots of time with her friends on this huge tire swing!

Checking out the tractor. She wasn't very interested...but we took a picture anyway.

We had a great day together, but when it was time to go home, she insisted on riding the bus with her friends and not riding home with her mom. :(
