Trentsters Spring...

 He had a Spring Concert.

 They sang some songs..Pizza Love, Fifty Nifty United States, I'm Grateful.

They played their recorders and some did a dance. 

It was really cute!

Kent City Elementary Field Day...

Trent and his friend Abel having lunch together

after playing Capture the Flag.  

Their Teacher asked the kids..."who can we nominate for doing good"....the kids raise their hands and say..

"I think Joe did good running fast"..nice idea to encourage them to think of others!

Kick ball

....let me get on my soap box a minute...  They didn't "keep score"..they just went through the line, then changed sides.  What is with games with no scoring these days??...  Why is everyone a "winner"??  How is that inspiring kids (or adults, for that matter) to do better? to push themselves? to improve?  Why do we not sign up for field day events?  Why are the good runners not rewarded for their abilities?  Why is their a spelling bee to highlight good spellers..isn't that the same?  I recently heard of a t-ball team that doesn't even have the kids run the bases?  If we don't keep score, why have a goal for soccer..lets just run up and down the field kicking the ball?

I know..how do I feel about this??? Hahahaha 

Soccer Kid...

Field Trip

 Greenfield Village & Ford Museum

Dearborn MI

We (as in 'I" did..instead of carpooling with the mom's...lol) rode in style...
paid a bit more and took chartered buses.

 Rosa Park Bus

The fountain in front of the village 

Train ride 

Buddies...

Juan, Nick, Travis & Trent 

Model T ride

They actually drive you around the village..it's not a on a track 

Carousel 

 in the museum...the kids participated in "working" on an assembly line making cars

Trent added 2 wheels on the right side.

They assembled 12 cars in 4 minutes 

Life in the fast lane!!!
