Welcome back to the
Laiken and Taylor Column.
Riverfest was last weekend
and there were a lot of great
and fun things to do during
it[ For example there was a
parade, inflatable games, a
mud volleyball tournament,
a street dance, fireworks, and
many other fun activities.
Everyone liked it and had a
good time.
The second session of
swimming lessons starts on
Monday the 29th and will go
untilAugust 9th for levels 1-5,
while the tiny tots swimming
lessons will go from August
5th-August 9th.
Riddle time: A monkey, a
squirrel, and a bird are racing
to the top of a coconut tree.
Who will get the banana first,
the monkey, the squirrel, or
the bird? A n s w e r ;
None of them, because
bananas do not grow on
coconut trees] What starts
with "P", ends with "E", and
has more than one thousand
letters? Answer; A post
office!
As you may remember us
mentioning before; Cheryl
Gjevre hosts a bible study for
us (Laiken and Taylor), Kelsy
Woinarowicz, and I(arin
Dahl every week- although
this summer we have been
doing some other different
things to that we would like
to share with you.
We started off the summer
by going to Park River to the
Pregnancy Help Center to
learn more about abortion.
Then two weeks ago we all
went up to Tisdale Manor,
talked with the residents
there, had coffee and bars,
and shared our favorite
bible passages. It was a lot of
fun, and then this previous
Tuesday we went to Grafton
to visit Karin's Grandma
King and Taylor's Grandma
Kittleson to tell them about
what we are doing in our
group and share our favorite
verses with them.
Well that pretty much
wraps up what has been
going on in Drayton lately, so
have a great week and email
