The Crow and Pitcher

This is Austin's rendition of the story of the crow and pitcher.

It was a hot, sunny day. The crow was very thirsty. "If I don't find water soon, I'll die." Behind a bushy bush he saw a pitcher of water. He flopped down and peeked in. His beak couldn't reach the water. So he flyed off and got a pebble, and another, and another, and another, till the job was done. Then his bill could reach the water and settle his thirst.

Gavel Club

Last Friday night, we had our Gavel club meeting. For those of you that don't know, we started a speech club with some other families. I gave a speech on Stonewall Jackson's wife Anna, so I dressed up like her.
Aaron did a speech about woodworking.

Update on Andrew

This past Tuesday, Andrew and the other interns went with Scott Brown to Louisiana for the wedding of Peter Bradrick's (the man in charge of the interns) brother Phillip. Mrs. Brown helped with the wedding. While they were down there, they visited a Civil War Museum and a World War II museum. On Thursday, the Browns and the interns made a meal for the Bradrick and Valenti families. On Friday, they helped with the rehearsal dinner, and the wedding was on Saturday. On Monday, they left to go back to North Carolina. These are some of the pictures from when they were in Louisiana.
