Our Trip to California -- Part 2!

If you're confused about this being part 2, just look below for part 1! After our little trip to Yosemite, Treg took us back to their place (actually his parents-in-law's place where they're currently staying). We were finally able to see Chayce --poor guy! While we were there, we did some hiking in the hills, went to the Fresno Zoo, ate at In-n-Out Burger (a must for us every time), and went out on the speed boat on Lake Millerton. The water was freezing from the snow melt, but Caiden had the guts to jump on in! We were also fortunate to stop by a farmer's fresh strawberry stand one afternoon. You have never eaten a strawberry until you have eaten a fresh one straight from the field! He was nice enough to let the kids pick a few from his field -- the biggest, juiciest, strawberries I have ever seen!

All-in-all it was a very successful trip and the kids were great travelers! Thanks to the Cedar's for allowing us to stay at their house once again, to Treg for being our tour guide, and to Candace for planning and preparing meals for us -- despite being 6 months pregnant and sleep-deprived with a sick little boy! (we found out later that Chayce was suffering from an ear infection) We had such a great time, and we can't wait to do it again!

Cambry definitely did not enjoy her life vest on the boat. In fact, she disliked it so much that she fell asleep in this exact same position!


This is how poor Chayce looked most of the time -- you can tell he just didn't feel well, but things were better if his mom was close!


Here are Chayce, Cambry, and Penelope (Chayce's other cousin). They wanted to get in so badly! The water was pretty cold, but eventually Caiden and Cambry did jump in!


Caiden really enjoyed feeding leaves to the giraffes at the Fresno Zoo.

Surprise!

Well, I sure don't get surprised very often, but Saturday night was a huge surprise to me! I thought I was heading to Hesston for an AGCO Christmas Dinner with Chelan. He told me we needed to drop something off at Ben and Tina's house (my cousin), first. Okay, no big deal! While we were there, Ben said they were about ready to go out for dinner, did we want to come along? Surprisingly, Chelan thought about it and wanted to do it (clue #1 that something was up). I kept saying that we couldn't skip out on his dinner, but Chelan insisted that going to Wichita for dinner would be much more fun. I even said, "This seems like something you had planned!" However, I'm always up for dinner in Wichita, so I agreed, reluctantly!! We enjoyed a meal at Hangar 1 Steakhouse and I thought that was the end of it. But, on the way home, Chelan asked if we could go by the new arena since the inaugural concert was there that night -- Brad Paisley! I thought it would be f...

Spring Art

While Mrs. Schmidt was away on maternity leave during the spring, Mr. Novak (from Hesston) filled in for her. Since Cambry has her first 3 class periods in the art room, she got to know him very well and he mentioned several times how he appreciated Cambry's artistic style and way of thinking. He even let her paint a little bit on his own pieces! Cambry took several pieces to the WSL art festival in April. She came home with a first place finish in the graphic design category and an honorable mention in the computer design category. We are so thankful for the instruction she has received over the last 4 years in Goessel. Now, on to Hesston College with Professor Cross!

Off and Running!

A month into the school year and everyone seems to be clicking along . . . at least for now! We caught up with Cambry today, now in a room of her own for the very first time! She is enjoying her esports team, particularly making the social media posts and taking pictures for the team. She gets some Rocket League time in as well! And she has access to the art building pretty much when she wants it! Caiden is doing his thing at K-State and at athletic events again. And Delaney is trying to do every possible activity available in high school. Of course, her top priority is volleyball, and right now, her team is 2nd overall in 1A-1 and recently won their home tournament for the first time since 2017! And, Kenya is growing like a weed!
