Our Friday group was invited to go to MIS Speedway for Shot Rats Award Night. Three of our boys attended the after school program, Shop Rats. They all got a chance to ride in a “wheelie car” and also ride in the Pace Car. It was a beautiful car, but went just too fast for […]
Boys Campout
We had our first overnight camp out last weekend. What a great time we had! The weather was great. Not too hot; not too cold. We had a fun group of boys. I think they all had a good time. We had some teens who helped us out and they were great. While around the […]

We have five girls in our new Young Travelers group. The cool thing about this group, is they all come from different high schools. After two weeks, they are getting to know each other and we are all enjoying each others company. Last week we took them on a trail ride and discussed the 7 […]
Jackson Family Expo
Saturday we were a part of the Jackson Family Expo at Westwood Mall. It was a good day to be inside; it was very wet outside. I think there were about 20 booths from various non-profit organizations. We each had a healthy snack to give away and an activity for the kids. Our kids were […]
