The grand opening of the Big Well Museum and Visitor Center was on Saturday, May 26th.  We thought it would be great to take the kids to see dad in "action" and also to be a part of history. I think their favorite part was the cool staircase. 

Aunt Alycia, Grandma Cindy and cousin Conner & McKenzie also came for the day.

If you haven't been to Greensburg since the tornado, you definitely need to check it out.  The houses, the school, the downtown, the Big Well...all worth visiting!  You can feel the love throughout the community.

Celebrating the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!

Hello, Summer Break!  :)

LGA Awards

The Turner kids have finished gymnastics at Lawrence Gymnastics Academy for the spring.  Each got to "showcase" what they had learned throughout the spring and earn a certificate.  The girls are going to continue through the summer but Talin is going to take a break until fall.

Talin got promoted to 1st Grade.  What??!!

That's right, our little man is no longer a Kindergartner.

Harlem Wizards

2012 PL Hoop Troop

The Harlem Wizards came to town and played the Perry Lecompton Hoop Troop for a school fundraiser.  The Hoop Troop was composed of teachers, coaches and community members.  I was lucky enough to get asked to play....and also got picked on the most.  It was all in good fun and raised a lot of money for the elementary school. 

Yep, that's me getting ready for the "jump ball"

The kids LOVED it

Leprechaun Trap

It's Talin's turn to create a trap to catch loose Leprechauns at school.  This project was right up his ally and one that I bet he remembers forever!  He had a blast making a supply list and shopping with dad.
