Kung flu shots

Nothing says fun like "flu shots". Last night all 6Clarks were vaccinated. Check out these pics:

Millie had such a good time she hated to leave

Wilbur was mad that this girl saw his Mr. Incredible underpants

Quincy stares at her meaty thigh

Sambo aka "Lunchbox" asks the nurse for a shot in the other leg, and a second sucker

Top Pics of the day

As mentioned in the previous post, the kids had a great time riding "Biff" after the boys came down from the mountain. Thanks Ash for taking this picture.
This is at the Scarecrow Festival at Thanksgiving Point. Millie had a dance performance there...she danced her little heart out. We ended up staying there for 5 hours. What a fun start to UEA break.
I (Holly) took some pictures of Millie in her baptism dress yesterday (something I've been wanting to do since January). Only took 10 months. Because she was baptized in February, there was like 8 feet of snow outside so I never got a great shot. So now may I present to you my beautiful Millie.
One more thing about her (which she will kill me later for saying); she is a total poser. All you have to do is point a camera at her and BAM! She's striking a pose. Her scrapbook is more than half-full of posing pictures. This started way back at 2 years old and hasn't stopped. She's not joking when she poses either, she takes it seriously.

Deer Camp 08

According to Grandpa Clark, during the past century the Clark's have only missed 2 deer hunts. This year Sambo continued the tradition as another generation was brought by horseback to deer camp. The weather couldn't have been any better for a 6 year old rookie. The Clark rules state "you have to be 8 years old to be in camp" but Sambo and Dad were anxious to get him up on the hill. After sitting on a VERY PACKED horse for about an hour Sambo decided he needed to give his legs a break, and ended up hiking roughly 5 miles up very difficult terrain. Everyone was amazed his little legs just kept moving, and for the record he NEVER complained. Once in deer camp he was just one of the guys. It is amazing how grown up he is getting. When asked what his favorite part of the hunt was he said "cleaning the deer was the grossest but coolest thing I have seen". I couldn't believe he could stomach it. Another highlight was carrying a pocketknife around and carving his initials in every aspen tree in sight. Mom, Millie, Will and Quincy came up Sunday to ride horses and greet the hunters. I had so much fun, I think I might roll the dice and take Wilbur up next year.

Crazy hair

This week Ridgeline Elementary had a crazy hair day. Check out these doos:

And yes Sambo's face was not photoshopped.

One down

As mentioned in a previous post, regardless of the weather Sam was going to do a cyclocross race on Saturday. If you are wondering what the white stuff on the ground is; it is snow. Yup it snowed on Saturday. The race went off as planned and he loved every minute of it. The official results haven't been posted but unofficially number 1258 was 8th place of 43 riders.
It took 4 races but I finally won

Whatober 12, 2008

Can you believe this? Check out this snow. This is what we woke up to this morning. After church and the singing of a few Christmas songs the 6clarks attacked the famous sledding hill "Murder's Hill". Whatober has come to soon and has totally caught us unprepared (check out Millie's make shift outfit with the HIGH WATER pants) The good news is; the forecast is calling for 70 degree temps by mid week.

I DON'T have to go to the bathroom

After telling the kids they had 2 rides left at Lagoon's Frightmares on Friday night, they all said they didn't need to go to the bathroom. Terror Ride and Dracula's Castle were the 2 rides that they wanted to ride the most. Guess from the picture who gambled and lost while riding the Terror Ride. Funny thing is in spite of the "accident" everyone finished Dracula's Castle with NO delay!
