Late Spring and Early Summer 2012


 We built some flower boxes this year that are a lot nicer than the ones we bought a few years back, and significantly cheaper. Grace is helping put in the pansies.





 The 4H group also went for a tour of the USS Slater down in Albany. Grace and her friend don't look all that enthusiastic in this picture.



Here is the group touring around on the ship. This was very interesting, I'd recommend it if you haven't been already.


Sometimes the girls need help sorting out their iTunes libraries, and it becomes a whole family affair.


Here is Ingrid at her 8th grade graduation. I think she is happy to be done with middle school.


She won an award for French, but we aren't sure exactly what it represents, and that isn't just because the certificate is in French.


At the end of the 8th grade year is the big dinner dance on one of the Hudson River Cruise type ships. Ingrid decided this was the look she wanted, complete with the combat boots, and she and Gretchen made the dress.


Here she is with a good friend just about to get on the ship.



The official picture taking before she and a group of friends gets on board.
