Band Camp Instructors 2008

This was my group of great instructors that really made the camp experience a success. I truely couldn't have done it this year with out them. From left to right: Me, Dr. John Ross, Kelsey Eisenmann, Taylor Berry, Natalie Barnes, and Dan Felt. What a team.

Bee Keeping!

Zach loves science so I thought that I would hook him up with a Bee Keeper from town to learn about them. It turns out we both had a great day learning about bees and how to keep them. It was really amazing. We both got to go out and handle the bees.

While I was out there with Paul the bee keeper, I noticed a loud noise that wasn't there before. I looked up and saw a huge group of bees in a swarm. We quickly moved out and watched them. The bees flew round and round for about ten minutes like a giant bee tornado. The bees landed on this small pine tree. The brown spots on the tree and all over the picture are bees flying around. This picture was taken after shaking the larger group of bees into the bee hive. It turns out that this swarm was a wild bee swarm that just happened to be there when we were and gathered them into the bee hive. AMAZING!

Zach's Grad Day.

This was a great day for Zach
He didn't stop smiling all Day Long.
Ms. Boetcher will be missed.
