Derrick's Busy Month

 The third grade did the water olympics for their last day at the city pool. Derrick signed up for diving (not sure why he interprets that as a canon ball but he was very pleased with himself).
 Carrying the flag for the closing ceremony.
 He actually got first place for noodle spitting. Yes, he is talented. He can spit water the furthest with a water noodle!
Aunt Bree had Derrick model for one of her cute hats she makes. She has a fun blog and fb book page for String With Style.  His reward was he could keep it and he has found many opportunities to wear it since.
 I had the chance to go on the 3rd grade field trip. They went to the dairy that is near our house and then up Cedar Breaks. It was snowing, obviously!

 They learned that cows give about 10 gal of milk every day and they drink 35 gallons of water every day! The dairy has new calves born every day and we were able to pet them.
 This is after our 2.5 mile hike. It was wonderful to walk through the snow and we didn't get cold since the snow kept us insulated while we walked. The bus took us to some look out points but we could only see about 20 feet away so the kids had no idea we were next to a 300 ft cliff!
