Kindergarten Rodeo

Zach on a "bucking bronco" The kids had activity rotation each themed around the rodeo.

The kids took turns "milking" a cow. Cool!

Zach and his best friend, Cade, are ready to trike race. They had to race to the other side, fill their small bucket with the corn feed then return to base to fill the larger bucket. The team with the most feed wins!

Zach with his friends: Randal, A.J., and Jacob eating chili. They sampled from three and then voted on their favorite. They even awarded the dad who won the "king" of the chili contest. They even sampled the Texas made Dr. Pepper for refreshment.

Laurie and Elizabeth helping at the rodeo. It's all about the kids!

The Leopold Ranch!

Brett and Zach playing in their new front yard! We have bought an acre lot in Williams Creek subdivision. We hope to build soon, as soon as our current home sells.

Snow in College Station Texas!

On March 7, 2008: SNOW! Just as it was time to leave for school, Doug called out to the boys to come see the snow. The snow was thick coming down, but the ground temp was too warm to keep it frozen for long. By the end of school, the kids were out of coats and pushing their sleeves up.

The Zoo

Zach and a rattle snake. Very active, and very large.
