April - June 2019

As spring really got underway, Jack started playing soccer again. He also enlisted the family to help him with service hours at a nearby park, which moved him closer to Life Scout rank. Kate danced in the ballet school recital as one of the dwarfs in Snow White. Anna then danced with the ballet company in their spring show. Near the end of June, we took a vacation to Arizona, where we visited the Grand Canyon and Northern Arizona before heading down to Tucson to see Oma and Opa. The last weekend in June, Jack headed off for a trek at Philmont Scout Ranch.
