FCC Playgroup

Today we met several other families from the local FCC community at the local park. The kids had fun playing on the playground and then we went down by the river and tried to find a Letterbox. Unfortunately, we couldn't find it but we will try another time. It sounds like a fun way to explore.

Happy Valentines Day

Today we started by decorating a cake that we baked last night. Then exchanged valentines with each other.
Later we celebrated at our local neighborhood party. Carol and Kimberly joined us and there were several other friends there as well. There was a band playing, pizza, cupcakes, crafts. Angel also figured out that she liked ping pong and is good at it! We had a great time
