Jessica's class did a puppet show "The Little Red Hen" at the end of the year. She got to be the narrator because she was the best reader in the class! She didn't get nervous at all; she has come a long way this year with being up in front of people (adults & strangers). Through the past year she has also given 3 talks in Primary, the first 2 were through sobbing wet eyes, and the last was completely tear free! I also signed her up for the basketball camp (see later in the post for pictures) against her request because she was nervous about it, but she got past the initial nervousness and absolutely loved it.

Right after school was out for the year, we headed to the Netherlands for an extended weekend so I could play in another ultimate tournament. We did manage to do a little site-seeing while there.

I signed both of the kids up for the Upward Basketball Camp this year. A team of volunteers comes from the US to put the camp on. The kids really enjoyed it and improved their skills too. Becca & I watched each day, and of course Becca wanted to be like the big kids so she played with the basketballs and cones. She was quite the trooper that week.
The Czech Republic is quite the outdoor activity mecca and we had the chance to see a few races this month. The first was a bike race at the Prague Castle where the bikers ride loops down a very long set of stairs, then back up the little winding street to the castle. It was pretty cool to watch. The second race was the World Cup of kayaking held in Prague this year in an area called Troja. Some day I want to have my own kayak!
