Shoot Out and Barn Dance

  We attended a Shoot Out and Barn Dance in early October. We didn't get any shots of the boys shooting but there were a few of the dancing...and me shooting a pistol for the first time!

Gathering Walnuts

The boys gathered walnuts to sell a few weeks ago. The amount of money they made wasn't much but they had enough to have a fun ice cream party that night!

Building the Bramer's Timberframe Cabin

A New Project...and some new boys

We have begun a new building project. It will be a larger cabin to accomodate 4-5 more students. All the current students will be working on this new construction through the Fall. We hope to have it ready to move into by Spring 2012.

Summer Ball

Every June our church throws a Summer Ball and Conference. The ball is formal and just a lot of fun. It is a family event and the boys learn how to be gentlemen asking girls to dance. The dances are similar to square dancing. It was difficult to get a picture that wasn't blurry so here's just a few to get the idea.

All dressed up!

Not All Work and No Play
