Our family participated in a youth service project at a horse rescue center in Pinon Hills named Mustang Ranch. They currently house approximately 40 horses. We performed chores such us...shoveling manure...
and hauling manure away as Riley is doing..
grooming horses (gotta the the rear-end shot!)...exercising them by walking so many laps and many other chores. The kids had a blast and got a taste of what "real work" is all about. I think they enjoyed it because after performing 4 hours of service, we all received free tickets to Disneyland. If you have not heard, Disneyland is offering a "Give a Day..Get a Day" program right now. Go to their website and check it out!
Next on the list were award ceremonies at school. Bragging rights for the Denkers...all three kids made Superintendants Honor Roll! All staight A's! We are so proud of them!
Riley with his award..
Ethan with his...
and Kelsey with hers! Way to go munchkins!
Last but not least, pack meeting. Riley has been working hard and earned several awards. We're glad he enjoys scouting! We enjoyed other moments such as Winter Break and a YW trip to Big Bear (poor YM couldn't attend because of the snow levels...they were suppose to camp outside the cabin). At least they will have a chance to do so in March!
