Art Contest

Here's the picture Clara colored for the art contest. The theme was "life in Grove City". Clara colored a picture of Nicholas and herself on the swings at the park. She won 3rd place and her picture will be featured on the kid's menu at the restaurant.

Zoo Trip

Here are some pictures from our GREAT day at the zoo with Helen and Erika. We got there before the big crowds. The weather was BEAUTIFUL. Come with us on our travels through Africa, Australia and Asia. Enjoy!

The zoo opened up an amusement park area this summer. This was our first time trying out the rides. It was FUN!

Flying Elephants

Race Cars

The highlight of our zoo trip...meeting Brutus!!!

Concert in a Barn

On Sunday afternoon Helen and I drove to Akron. The Early Interval gave a concert in a barn. The weather cooperated. It wasn't terribly hot and the setting was quite lovely. The concert went very well, although I'm still not very confident in my viol skills.

Rasberry Vanilla Trifle

I made this for a Friday night get-together with John's colleagues. It was delicious!
