Spring Break and Cori news

Half of Cori's Spring Break was spent lounging around home of course and the the other half suprising grandparents. Her, I and Bryson took off on a Wednesday and drove to Oklahoma and walked into my parents' house much to their suprise. Boy were they happy to see her! She said she was almost hugged to death. We spent a nice relaxing few days there. Cori and Grandpa Doug went fishing with a friend. Cori caught seven! She had a great time. I don't know what was more fun for her: catching the fish or grossing me out while she was helping to scale, clean, gut them or whatever it is you do at the end. She thought this was hilarious to show me how they were still moving after they were fileted. It was not fun for me. Here are a couple of pictures of our proud fisherwoman.
























She also entered a speech and writing competition between her school and others in the area. She placed first in editorial writing and she made it to the finals for impromptu speaking. She was the one pick from her school for the latter category. I guess her teachers know she is good at making up great stories on the fly. She is our true comedian.
