The Van Aken Family. Saturday, June 14, 2014. Presenting the Class of 2014! My second high school graduate! I'm telling you, once they start high school, it's all over!

Kylie had lots of family there to support her! Nathan Oliver and Kylie.

http://vanakenfamily.blogspot.com/2015/04/honey.html
The Van Aken Family. Saturday, April 4, 2015. This is the time of year we usually have to order a new box of bees since ours have died over the winter. But not this year! We harvested our first jar of honey this weekend! We've had a warm, early Spring and the hive is exploding. Brad went out to check on the bees and found the box full of honey already. He pulled out this frame to harvest and put another box on. We're going to have a bumper crop this year! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://vanakenfamily.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
The Van Aken Family. Saturday, November 30, 2013. We gave Grandpa Tom a new Carhartt work coat for his birthday. It was a little too big! This was his old coat. Kylie modeled the new one so we could see the obvious improvement, except for the size. Pointing out a special feature the new coat doesn't have! He couldn't stop laughing! I love how silly my dad can be! Everyone was very entertained by their show! Making a wish.maybe for a coat that fits a little better? Happy Birthday, Grandpa! It's a good one!

The Van Aken Family: Spring Break hike
http://vanakenfamily.blogspot.com/2015/04/spring-break-hike.html
The Van Aken Family. Friday, April 3, 2015. Ben asked if we could try geocaching, so I downloaded the app and discovered there was a cache at Battlepoint right along our route. It took us a little while to figure out the whole compass/GPS thing, but after roaming around in the bushes for a while, we eventually we found our first cache! Lovely trees at Battlepoint. The Fairy Dell trail really feel like a fairy land! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Powered by Goodreads.com. Blair and Sam's Adventures.

The Van Aken Family: January 2014
http://vanakenfamily.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
The Van Aken Family. Friday, January 31, 2014. Even if doesn't, I still think this is a great, hands-on science activity for the kids, and one that they enjoy, which is important, too. Trying to catch a salmon-fry. This one Ben named "Meatloaf" Salmon loaf would have been more appropriate, maybe? Getting ready to release Meatloaf into his new home. This is a lovely spot for baby salmon. I hope they get to enjoy it! Monday, January 20, 2014. The Adults Outnumber the Kids! She didn't want to have a big par...
