A Long Time Coming

My last post was a while back and a friend reminded me that it has been a while since he's heard from me via my blog.

Well life has been wonderfully busy in the Robinson house.

We celebrated a wonderful 45th wedding anniversary and two 70th birthdays in Bellingham; Cheryl's parents.
.

We are now parents of a teenager with a deepening voice.






Gabe presented his science fair project for which we made super bouncy balls out of white glue/borax and silicate/alcohol mixtures.

We welcomed in the begining of Fair season with the Enumclaw Spring Dairy Show.

 

We have completed our second year of homeschooling Jon and will have the privilege of having them both home next year. Jon competed in his first season of Track and Field running the mile, 800 and several relays.

While Cheryl discovered the perfect "Track Mom" snack food: rice crispy treats.

We took a family vacation to Williamsburg, Jamestown, DC and Philly to experience our nation's history and capitol. It was fun and powerfully moving to bring the boys here.

Congress, where we were able to visit our representative's office

And now summer begins with the building of a true MAN CAVE, a 30x24 pole barn in the driveway for my wood shop and an upstairs clubhouse.
