We have had a very busy spring. Between school, church, and extracurriculars, it has been go-go-go. This post is going to detail some of the highlights of the last two months.
The weather has been really nice this year. There have been so many beautiful, cool, sunny days- and most of them have been during the week when we're stuck at school. Still, we did find one Saturday to sneak over to Laura Walker and hike the Big Creek Nature Trail. I love hiking. It is so good for my soul.
It wouldn't be spring without a little spring cleaning. We participated in the church's annual cleaning day, and I had to take this picture to prove that Owen does indeed know how to operate a vacuum cleaner (even though he acts as if though he doesn't when we're at home).
One of the highlights of the season was the release of the new Avengers movie. We are huge Marvel fans and have been eagerly awaiting the latest installment for months. We saw it on Friday that it opened because we knew that we wouldn't make it long without hearing spoilers. I had two students who went to the midnight showing on Thursday and I literally had to threaten to write them up because they were threatening to spoil it for me.
The kids and I also attended my school's spring musical, Shrek. Our drama department always does such a fantastic job, and this year was no exception.
Brian has also had a fun spring. He was able to spend a weekend with his buddies in Fernandina and attend Shrimp Fest. They had a great time hanging out and catching up.
While Brian was at the beach, the kids and I attended OkeCon. This was our first comic convention and we had a blast. We only went to check it out but ended up staying there for hours. The kids participated in all kinds of events like trivia, video game demonstrations, and nerdy karaoke (watching, not singing). Their favorite thing was the virtual reality headset. There was so much to do that we were a bit overwhelmed. Next year, we know what to expect and will go in with a plan.
Olivia's robotics team had an end-of-the-year party to celebrate this year's accomplishments and to watch the reveal of next year's challenge "squared away". We have already ordered our kit and are in the process of assembling the new field. The kids are planning to work on their robots this summer and be ready to roll for the first competition next year. We are hoping to get this and many other things accomplished this summer. Here's to hoping.
