Happy Holidays from the Cheese Family

MnL video update

Here are stills of the part of the Boise WaterShed video with the cheese kids in it! It plays in a loop here at the entrance to the exhibit hall. Eddy Trout thought it was pretty cool too. ;)



Blast from the Past, Episode 1


BnK took a trip to Budapest in 2005. Photos now available on K's Flickr site! Only three years later... ahem.
Budapest Pix!

Boise's Freshest New Faces

Meggie and Louie are in a video being produced for the Boise WaterShed, the new environmental education center being built by my department here at Boise City. There is no audio yet, but look for their familiar faces @ 2:21 and 2:43!

Swimming Lessons

I just love this pool. Take a good look, it's slated for deomlition. :( The guy in the red at top is billy, Grandpa is the guy in the yellow cap standing right behind him.



This is Sofie's and Meggie's second season of swimming lessons, and Louie's first. He was a tad trepidacious at first but came thru like a champ. He even jumped off the diving board!







Meggie is practically a mermaid, so she enjoyed every millisecond in the water. Megs was the first in her group brave enough to dive in head first, her Uncle Hudson would be so proud.







Sof was a little worried about getting back into the water after a winter hiatus. But she soon warmed to it and had those instructors wrapped around her little finger! She jumped off the diving board as well -- Grandpa, billy and I were so proud of her!





1st Grade Reader's Theatre

Meggie as "Cinderella," in a hand-made mask, accompanied by two of her evil step-sisters.



Let's have a closer look at that mask:

St. Alphonsus Capitol Classic

Meggie and Lani ran the St. Al's Classic today. Both have run the race before, but poor Louie isn't old enough so he has to wait until next year. But hey, at least he got a balloon!



Lani KICKED BUTT, she was running so fast I almost missed getting a photo of her. I don't have the stats handy at the moment but her time and place were impressive.



And Meggie put in a valiant effort, completing her mile-long race from the Boise Depot to the Capitol Building with a savvy combination of running and walking. Jeff Galloway would be proud. :)
