Here are some more pages in Nik's autograph book from our 2006 trip.

71st Layout of 2009-Earth Day

I used another one of the kits I got from attending Scrap Mania at Archivers. I used the quote (from Grandmother Willow) as part of an Earth Day challenge posted on Scrapping the Magic.

Week in Review: June 15-21, 2009

This past week, Nikolas attended Discovery Camp at the Brookfield Zoo. While he was busy having fun and learning about animals, I was able to wander around the zoo and got a rare picture of the male lion awake. This was taken on Monday, the only great weather day of the week.


On Tuesday, to escape the rain, I went inside the penguin house and got to witness their feeding time.


Nik had a great time at zoo camp, learning about animal habitats, communication, eating habits, etc. Here he is showing off the cool alligator hat he made.




On Saturday, Nik had a tee-ball game. In the first inning he got to be the pitcher...


he had a great hit...


and spent some time in the outfield.


We had a great Father's Day planned. In the morning Gary got his presents.


Then after church, we went to play mini-golf.


Of course, we let Gary win.


Then for dinner, Gary requested homemade pizza. Nikolas was his personal chef, creating a pizza exactly how his daddy wanted it.

68th Layout of 2009-If You Build It

Everytime you attend a Scrap Mania crop at Archivers, they give you a page pack (supplies and directions to create a layout). I have quite a few of this packs from all the times my sister and I have attended. I decided to see if I could start using them. Here is the first:


Gary made this fort for Nikolas to play in.

The page pack comes with plenty of paper. I was able to make several cards with the leftovers.

67th Layout of 2009

This layout puts me over last year for the total number of layouts I made each year...and the year is only about half over!

I picked up the stickers and pattern paper at the Target dollar spot.

60 DAYS TIL DISNEY

On our 2006 trip, Nikolas met a lot of characters. I made a seperate book for his autographs and pictures.

Here is the cover:
