A friend's status update today:
"A little help please? My mom is doing a civil rights unit in her 4th grade classroom. They are looking at gay rights in addition to the usual study of MLK, Rosa Parks, etc. They are looking for leaders in the Gay Rights movement to study. Other than Harvey Milk, any suggestions? She also wants to highlight lesbian leadership, and other than Rea Carey I'm drawing a (really sad) blank...."
A glimpse into what's going on in your local school. Makes me not want to send my kids there.
Clarification... this is not Pine-Richland. I don't know where this woman teaches. But it's just more proof of the increasing liberalism being taught in schools today . We live in a fairly conservative area of the country, so it may be a while before we see stuff like this.

Silly faces
The littlest one pulled a bunch of clothes out of her bag. Tuesday, April 13, 2010
Lancaster/DC Trip
We hit the road Thursday morning for Lancaster. We arrived in the area a little too early to check into our hotel, so we stopped by a working Amish farm and house. The boys loved milking the fake cow. 
The woodcarver wrote each of the boys names.
Hamming it up.
The boys had so much fun playing at the kiddie water park at our hotel.
Waiting for our buggy ride
In the buggy. It was very cold and windy that morning. Sam must have said, "Horsey bum!" 75 times in a 30 minute ride. He just couldn't get over it. =) At one point he even said, "Horsey stinky!"
All aboard!
Loving his ride.
On Friday night we got together with some of my friends from Houghton. Our kids, minus their littlest one, who had already gone to bed.
Make a silly face!
Isaiah took a picture of the adults. =)
Packing up to head to DC.
DC was VERY crowded, although somehow it doesn't look like it in this picture. It was the end of the cherry blossom festival and the metro and Smithsonians were packed.
In the museum of Natural History. Isaiah was fascinated with the dinosaur bones.
We went to the 4:30 Saturday service at the Ebenezer's location of National Community Church. In this picture, you see Mark Batterson closing the service. It was surreal, but nice. =)
Our friend Blake met us at church, then ate dinner and headed back on the metro with us.
Outside Ebenezer's coffee shop. The weather was so perfect. 
The boys goofing around outside Ebenezers.
At Union Station
Waiting for the metro
At the National Zoo on Sunday morning
When Isaiah saw this furry horse, he said, "Is that a horse or a lion?"
Playing monkey outside the aligator exhibit
This was probably the coolest thing at the zoo. The orangatan had two long ropes that went right out of its habitat so that it could climb high above the zoo pathways. And no, there was no net or anything to catch it. I guess they just don't fall!
You can barely see the giant anteater against the building. Isaiah was amazed at how big it was and how cool it looked.
After the zoo, Sam fell asleep during the ride back on the metro.

A little late... Easter
Decorating eggs...
He kept using his hands to put the eggs in the dye
Finally using the spoon
The boys on Easter morning
Why oh why did the big one have to cross an eye?
Looking for eggs and Phil and Claire house
Cousins looking for eggs
Ready to eat Jesus is Alive cake
