Spring break week!

 The kids enjoyed a week at home, but going to the Biltmore House one day with mom.

We went to 2 Crawdads games, one with Santiango and Athruo's families from his base all team.

They got a ball signed by the catcher. Justin gave it to his friend Korbyn the next day when he came over to play.




Jason and I saw this meme and told Hallie it made us think of her!

They went up Friday to spend the weekend at Nana and Papa's with Sydney and Charlotte.

They set up a tent to sleep in outside... but that didn't happen!

Justin's birthday, Easter, and soccer win!

 We spent the night with Karen on April 11th, eating at Shiki with her and Miranda.
She got Justin a cake and balloon!



The next day was the Fairview Easter celebration with breakfast than the Easter Egg hung.

Charlotte found the golden egg and won a big chocolate bunny (which they all shared).       
    
                  

                                                  


That afternoon, we had Justin's birthday party. 
He invited his friend Korbyn from school and introduced him to everyone which impressed us!








On Good Friday (also my b-day), Miranda had her birthday party at the Block in Wilkesboro.
Hallie spent the night with her and some of her friends while Justin and I stayed at Linda/Gary's.




Saturday was Easter at Linda/Gary's with the annual "find 50 money eggs" hunt.
I didn't get many pics since it happens so quick.
We ended up finding all the eggs eventually!


Earlier this month, Hallie and her friend Leah got to lead a group of rising 6th graders around Grandview school. 


On April 17th, Grandview played Newton Conover again.
We had lost 3-2 the last time in a very competitive game.

This time, we won 3-2!  Newton-Conover had been undefeated.
And I think just about every girl played at some point, so it felt like a group victory.
Hallie had some good defensive kicks.

 Justin had a field trip.to the Charlotte Motor Speedway to do STEM activities.

They got to build a small car out of plastic wheels, popicycle sticks, and cardboard for the body. 

Then they gave it a battery and did a raceion the straight real track!

His team got 2nd when they raced!

He also got to ride in a van on the track which he loved!


Hallie went to  Math 1 competition at App State.


She also had a STEM event at school learing about coding remote control cars.
