Workman Family has been busy in April.

Joseph, Natalie, Daisy and Ceili all were in a play at school. Joseph was a member of the Very-Hairy Frowny-Face Tribe. Though he didn't frown much.

Daisy, Natalie & Ceili were all chameleons. They sang and danced and changed colors. Daisy tried out last year but got afraid during try-outs so didn't make it. This year was no problem. She had a good time.

This is Natalie & Joseph's second year in Missoula's Children's Theater. The theater group comes to our school and has try outs Monday. The cast is chosen that day and they have thier first rehersal. The rehearse the rest of the week and then perform on Saturday. Winds up being a very busy week.

The play was Robinson Crusoe. (But a very loose interpretation) Ceili was almost not in it. She missed the try out because she forgot her permission slip and came home on the bus. I took her to school with me to get the other kids. At the end of the tryouts it turned out everyone got a part so I asked the director if we could fit Ceili in. The director did a one-on-one tryout and Ceili did great. Looking the director in the eye the whole time and doing all she said.

All the kids had a great time.

Yes, we went to a Tea Party on Tax Day. I went alone during the day then took the kids with me later in the day for a short time. Aidan got into it the most making his own signs and standing at the curb the whole time. I'm not sure how much they really understood but they asked a lot of questions and learned some things about current politics.

This is Mariska's latest Anime costume. This is her second year running. There is a convention every year in Seattle. Both years she has made costumes using what we have at home. And that is her own hair. She cut it and bleached it out. It's teased up there but it is a short blond bob normally now. It actually looks very sophisticated.

This is Aria's newest art project. It is a friend of hers. She has been doing a lot of art lately and finding things she is interested in school too. She just needs to be challenged.

I'm not real sure how this worked out but here it is. Gpa tended to the home fires while Gma went to San Pedro, Belize with two of her sisters. As you will see from the posted pictures it was just the kind of trip Gma relishes - lots of sun, sand and sea water. Gma's sister RuthAnn and her other half Clair go to Belize every year for about 3 months or so. They have been inviting us to come down for some time. It was just to spendy for both of us to go. So I talk Gma into going (hard task). She called her sister Laura and the trip was on. They had a great time. Here it is:

This is Gma arriving in San Pedro, Belize on a Tropic Air flight that took all of 15 minutes from Belize International. When you get a chance to see her Belize scrap book you will see more of the flight.

This is the Tropic Air terminal. Not much to it but then when you are on a tropical island - who cares!

Can you feature this - Gma found a fabric store and brought home a little tropical print. Can't imagine what she will do with that. Let's see - maybe a quilt of some kind...


When ever your too hot - it's time for a cool one. Looks like they knew just where to go. (RuthAnn, Laura, and Gma - left to right)

The mighty fisher woman has arrived. This is a guided trip to the mangroves for bottom fishing

Gma caught this Baracuda just for the sport. I think this is the biggest fish she has ever
landed.

How do you like to overbite on this guy. Gma had a great time bringing it in. It was release, unharmed, after the pictures.

Dinner that evening on the Snapper they caught! Ya can't beat that for freshness. It was prepared for them at one of the local restaurants.

This is the famous Coconut Leo. There is a very long story about this that can be told only by Gma and Laura. Ask them!!!

Snorkeling in some beautiful water.

Gma with an aquarium view. I'm jealous!

Swim is over over. They had a great time and are on the way to the beach. (Lef to right - Laura, Gma, RuthAnn and Clair)

Seems that they boated to everything. Gma and Laura were being taken to shell hunt. You will have to ask Gma to show her collection. They found some beautiful shells.

Here are the three girls again. They are sitting in a golf cart. Golf carts, bicycles and walking was the only private transportation in San Pedro. Taxi's were all over and cheap but the island is small and walking worked for most things. They were touring the island is why they had the cart here.

There is a lot more to the trip but all I can fit in for now. Gma is putting together one of her famous scrap books of the whole trip. I'm sure she will bring it to the 4th of July gathering. She came home very tanned, very tired and wishing we could do the trip together. Who knows - maybe after retirement. We'll see.

They all had a great time - YA BETA BELIZE IT!!!

Love to All
Gma & Gpa
