Huck Finn Day '08 (June 7th)

Finally up and running and here are the Huck Finn Day pictures for 2008. Our children have been going to Huck Finn day for the past 4? years, maybe 5. Each year we scour the closets for appropriate looking clothing (see Nicholas, bottom left of first picture), then the boys roll in the dirt to make themselves look like, well, dirty boys. We like to claim that we have won the Huck Finn lookalike contest for all of the years that we have entered, but one year we were beat out. On this particular year, Nicholas did win. Brian also won the largest fish contest. All in all, the kids had a blast.
Below is a picture of Maria and Joseph trying to fish.
Below are some of the kids trying to fish. Brian on the left, Thomas standing with his hand on his hip, somebody elses kid standing, and Ellie sitting on the ground in the white sweatshirt.
Maria running across the stream on a "bridge". There is a very nice bridge that crosses the stream on one end, but on this end there is only this pipe.
And here below we have Brian. Doesn't he look enthralled? He is such a constant, level headed young man and often in times of quiet he sits pondering all sorts of things. All of those facts rattling around in his head are probably bouncing back and forth right about now. He sure snapped into action when he caught that fish!
