outdoor school

In Oregon they do this really cool thing called Outdoor Science School and for four day the 5/6th graders get to run around a few hundred acres and do experiments and field study and have campfires, etc.  It is pretty sweet.  Gretchen is very excited.  She has never been away from home for more than a night though(and that was with cousins) so I am nervous for her.  anyway, she can get mail at outdoor school.  I think she would be very excited to get mail from her family.  If you would like to send mail it should be sent by this saturday in order for her to get it on time.  Please send mail to this address:

Gretchen Darby

Camp Trickle Creek

5390 4-H Road NW

Salem, OR  97304

In the bottom left corner of the envelope please write Palisades Elementary School

Thanks so much.  I know this will mean a lot to her.

 

Sarah Darby?

Can someone tell us a little more about Sarah Darby's 'track & field' success...we heard something about it...a record? or at least a very fast time?...but we're not sure...the Doyle boys are very excited & want to know. They just had a track/field day at school and Seth was really hoping to break a school record...he came close, but it didn't happen. We'd like to know more about Sarah.

Number 4

Wade and I are happy to say that Number 4 will join us around Thanksgiving!

Yes, I am sitting in the dark listening to Lee crying, hoping she'll get the hint and go back to sleep, so I can go back to sleep. Wow.

Mancation? Have we settled on a date?
