Bicycle Bumps

Pictures today are ones we took Monday on our big hike for the week. We walked up behind the University in a series of trails they have up there.

• we ended up at the lake, notice that it is still mostly frozen. But the day was very hot so I don't think it will be long until we have breakup in the mountains.
• we chose to hike the Bicycle Bumps trail, it was a fun up and down little hills,
• shows the big pictures of where we went,
• shows just how close the trees are in some places, notice the different trees in the different pictures,

Croakers Chronicles

First let's hear it from the cousins!

• Sarah and Annie are the proud owners of a little dog named Sammy. They are having fun teaching her tricks. . I think this is their first dog.
• We all have tough things that happen to us and we were sorry to hear that Collins little lamb died.

• A busy month for Sarah, she took second place in a history fair project, she got National in her running of a mile (10 minutes and 45 sec), she got all A's (4's in modern language), congratulation for working hard!
• Annie is in a school opera/play called "Sylvester and the Magic Pebble,"and she plays as Sylvester, the biggest part! Wow!
• Caroline said she was not wearing coats to school 2-3 weeks ago but guess what. Today I wore a short sleeve shirt and no coat for the very first time.
  

We have some email addresses to share with everyone. Our missionary cousins Dave, davidwoodbury@myldsmail.net and Jeff at jeff77board@hotmail.com. Let's keep writing our cousins to tell them to "Keep up the good work!" Jeff had two baptisms last week. Can't wait to hear from Dave. Sarah has a new email address animalluver_18@hotmail.com as does Hunter hunterbooth6393@hotmail.com.

While we are talking about Hunter we are happy to report he received very good grades, just starting Tae Kwon Do class and is a White Belt but by now is probably a Yellow belt, and is building his very own web site. Check it out at http://spaces.msn.com/hunterbooth/ and tell him what you think.

We were in the mountains two days ago and found a street named "Love Road". It was a beautiful wooded area. Also, a members house in on Sarah's Lane and next to it was Laura Road.

Here is our funny story for the week. We have a cute young couple who have three tiny children living in our house and taking care of it. They have a two year old little boy named, Zack. His dad started the big lawn mower the other day and Zack was so interested as his dad was telling him that it was a "lawn Mower" and he cut the grass with it. The next week when he got it out and started it Zack ran out of the house saying, "Oh, goodie dad is getting the "Lenore" out. His mom and dad have been talking a lot about Burt and Lenore and that was what lawn mower sounded like. They are wondering what he thinks Burt is. What do you think would be a good thing to call Grandpa Burt?

Grandpa and I went walking today up above the University in a big trail system into the mountains. It was so wonderful. Every thing is turning so green and it was actually hot. We hiked to a lake and heard a lot of noise and went to look. We couldn't see anything and thought maybe it was ducks but it really didn't sound like ducks and we wondered if it was frogs. Then we said, "No there couldn't be frogs because how could they live during the cold winter?" We asked grandpa's cousin, Sister Gho and she said it was a tree frog. This frog freezes hard during the winter and when spring come it thaws out and hops away. Isn't that amazing!

I guess, by the time you get this letter school will be out. Write and tell us what you are doing this summer. I bet most of you have started playing baseball already.

We love and miss you, from Granny Frogger and Grandpa, the Old Croaker By the way he says he loves you all and sends the pictures but you all know that.
