Snow, Dare Graduation, and More Snow

This last week, Sand Springs Elementary had their Dare Graduation for the 6th graders. Emily was able to participate in this. To graduate, they had to participate in Dare classes where the Dare Officer came and taught classes on drug and alcohol prevention. They also had to write an essay on what it meant to be drug free. They had an assembly where the Dare Officer and the Mayor of Layton came and talked to the students. Then the teachers, principal, Dare Officer, and Mayor presented the students with graduation certificates. The students all wore Dare T-shirts. It was really cool. Our last school had Red Ribbon Week where the students all pledged to stay off drugs, but not an actual Dare program. This was really cool. Good job Em.

We had our first really big snow storm this weekend. The kids loved it. They spent hours outside playing in the snow with the neighbor boys. They built a snowman, then let the boys destroy it.

After the snowman, they played on the trampoline. It was really slick so they were slipping all over laughing the whole time. They loved every minute of it.

The neighbors dog, Bernie wanted to play with the kids so bad. He stood at the side of the trampoline and barked until they would throw snowballs at him. He would catch the snow in his mouth then run back and bark until they would throw another one. It was so funny.

Emmy & Foster. These two love each other so much. As soon as Foster sees her, he comes running and yelling her name. They will hang out for ever and just play. It is so cute. Usually where ever Em is, Fost is close by. (and she loves it just as much as he does.)
