Jack and Granddaddy got in some good hits, too!

Bike-a-thon!

Ellis and his kindergarten class did a bike-a-thon at their school to raise money for charity.

They rode for half an hour, stopping for water and the occasional crash.

Afterwards they got pizza and medals!

Mother's Day Tea

At their school Ellis and Cate sang songs, served us tea and cookies, and gave Elizabeth gifts they had made in class.
