Happy Birthday!

Today Colton turns 15. After a busy day of school and drivers education he decided we would eat his birthday supper at the Panda Buffet.

And requested a chocolate birthday cake.

Birthday gifts. An Ottercase and earphones.

Too much Panda Buffet and birthday cake!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLTON!

Time Capsule

May 14, 2011 Pine Valley
30 years ago today the 5th grade class of Cloquet Elementary buried a time capsule. Today they will dig up that time capsule. Once the treasures are found the current 5th grade class (Kirk's Class) will bury a new time capsule.
After many hours of digging with a shovel the Time Capsule still eludes the class of 1988. They bring out the big equipment and find it in no time. (Duane and Colton inthe fore ground watching the progress)

(Kirk in red) The current 5th grade class are all over that time capsule.

What treasures are found?

Into the ground it goes. Buried with the help of the bull dozer.

Orchestra Concert

The Cloquet High School presented their FINAL orchestra concert, ever.
Colton has put in many years and time learning to play violin. This is the last performance we will see him in at the High School.
