May 2008

Danielle's last track meet of the season. Here she is in the 100 meter dash and the high jump.

Sycamore celebrated 150 years and had a big birthday celebration at the court house with cake and entertainment. Dani's Jazz strings performed along with other groups from the Sycamore schools. They even lit the court house in candles.

The first car show of the season for us was at Culver's this time. We had a little rain but still had fun.

Dani and Brooke performed in a dance recital with her new found Hip Hop talents. Afterward, they enjoyed some Jimmy John's.

Look who is mowing the lawn for the first time!

Dani participated in the NCJC music program at NIU again this year. You had to be chosen to attend this multi school event from across our conference. Thisiwas an all day event where the musicians learn the songs and rehearse during the day and perform that evening. There was an all school orchestra, choir and band that performed.

It's morel season again. These were found in the woods by Oregon, IL.

Joe and Dani took a trip to Six Flags to have a little fun before it got too crowded.

Time to get the morels in Minnesota. Joe went up for an overnight and found a few. He had a great campsite on the Root River, saw Donna and Dawn in Rochester and even a little wildlife.

Last but not least, Brittany turned 19 this month. We had some gifts and some friends out to celebrate.
