Just Dance

 We have had a lot of rain this winter and had to spend a bit more time indoors.

 But we have been dancing the house down with the wii's Just Dance.  We got so into it some days that we actually moved all the furniture out of the way.

We have had fun with it and watch out, The Browns may become the next dancing sensations!

 



Pinewood Derby

 This year's Cub Scout Pinewood Derby was definitely a memorable one.  Our Scouts invited the Girl Scouts and Portuguese Boy and Girl Scouts. It was neat to see each group do their Scout theme.

 Caleb wanted to make his car into a wii remote.  It turned out well.  In fact it was a FAST car.  He finished 5th out of at least 60 cars.

Nick's car was a sleek, all-black car.  They had to move the weights to the side because the track was too high.  It was fast too.  He finished 8th.

Easter

Nobody does Holidays like Americans!  (At least, that is what we think.)  On Easter we invited all of the missionaries on the island over to celebrate an American Easter.   Some of them had been here in Portugal long enough that they hadn't had some of the comforts and pleasures of America in a long time.  They ate up American ham and potatoes and chips and salsa and seven-layer dip.  The Easter Bunny brought them American candy.  They were very grateful to be spoiled on a wonderful Holiday.  But it was more fun for us to do the spoiling and see how the little things in life can make a day magical!
