Stinson Beach

After Muir Woods, we headed up (or down - I'm not sure which way we were going) the winding coastal Highway 1 to Stinson Beach.  It was a beautiful drive in and out of fog, but it sure was curvy - not good on many of our stomachs!   When we finally made it, the weather was partly cloudy and only about 65 degrees.  We weren't planning on getting into our suits, but the lure of the ocean was too much to overcome.  The boys and Cambry decided to go for it!  What fun they had waiting for waves to come in and jump over them.  The younger ones enjoyed the sand with Candace and me.  I hope Caiden, at least, remembers his first beach experience!

Heading in!

Getting braver

One of my favorite pictures - Cambry loved jumping in the ocean.  She even kept her poor finger out of the water!

Delaney took quite a liking to Candace during our trip

I forgot how the sand sticks to EVERYTHING!


Trying to beat a wave in - also one of my favorite pictures.

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...

Pre-Christmas Surprise

 On Dec. 22, I woke up to Caiden not feeling well. In fact, he said he hadn't ever felt the kind of pain he was experiencing that morning. Reluctantly, I made an appointment. Long story, short - it was good he complained because he ended up having his appendix out that afternoon! It must have been at the very beginning stages and thankfully hadn't burst. So, we were in and out of the hospital by midnight that night. Maybe the worst part about the whole thing is that his wisdom teeth surgery had to be postponed since it was supposed to be the very next week. He'll go back to school minus an appendix, but still having his wisdom teeth until February 16! Pre-op Post-op

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!
