Posted by crousehaus on May 3rd, 2013
In 1933 a Dayton, Ohio photographer put together an impromptu race of 19 boys so the kids could show off their racing skills.

The winner was Robert Turner (from Indiana), who fashioned his […]
Talented Kids
Posted by crousehaus on April 25th, 2013
Some local middle-schoolers and a few elementary kids will show off various mad skills Friday night at LCMS. I’ve been watching rehearsals all week and I have to say that there is some major talent in Agoura Hills. It really is a lot of fun to go out and see what great kids live in […]
Santa Monica Mountains Science Festival
Posted by crousehaus on April 23rd, 2013
I love this event! I have been attending with my children for the past three years. Just drive over to Paramount Ranch, slap on some sunscreen and get ready for some hands on learning. I suggest heading out earlier in the day because it is always hot at this event. The little ones will enjoy […]

The Great Race Is Coming!
Posted by crousehaus on March 17th, 2013
The Great Race is coming up on March 23. I have participated in this race with my husband for many years and it is a great race. We do the 5K, but we have friends who say the half marathon is a great course. The after-race party is fantastic. The past two years our kids […]
