We all went to the Science Center yesterday, after Austin's practice(Austin,Blaise,Jen,Jace,Riley). Not that exciting.

Finally hit Brenton Skating Plaza last night all of us.....packed due to the holiday.

Maybe voice will finally take?..... here is what the experts are saying or lying about .....
