Lesson learned

So this is how stupid I feel today!
Most everyone knows that there are two things I stand firm on with kids... seat belts and sunscreen. Well, yesterday I was at school helping with the pentathlon and we were outside all day. I had two jackets if it was cold, an umbrella if it rained, a water bottle if I was thirsty, but did I even think once to put sunscreen on? NO! So here I sit burnt to a crisp!! Now I was covered from my neck to my feet, but my face especially my nose and my hands are burned.
Lesson learned!

Contest winner

The Bird Refuge had an art contest for the kids in the Elementary schools up here. Erin was one of the winners. This is a picture of her original drawing.

She was asked to redraw her bird on a much larger paper.

This is her and her friend with their finished drawings.

The Bird Refuge then put her picture in a banner and it is now hanging on Main Street.

She was pretty excited to win and be able to have her drawing hanging in town.
Congrats Erin!
