6.2 - Harper has the honor of getting to spend a couple days a week this summer babysitting this cool dude. Today was her first day!
She loves being in a "teacher" role and has lots of plans for their time. Kristina Michelle and Cal even put a "teacher cup" together for her!

Come out and see it!!

"Ad Astra Per Aspera"

Clock Tower in OP

We might revisit this one when they get it placed when the new farmer's market opens. Plus, it is damaged (people stink). There is supposed to be a model of the Bond Bridge in the center (see model photo).

5.24 - No pic, but she is fortunate to have a couple peers ASMing for Shawnee Mission TIP's Oklahoma soon and they need some run crew help, so she got to sit in on a rehearsal today.
On our way home, we tackled a string of hearts, including this fun one!

[Beth Dean @bdeansf]

Guess what else is back!?!?
Parade of Hearts! After a year off, they are back this year with 151 new hearts!!! We are picking up #-wise where we left off a couple years ago. Stay tuned for more!!
