It was a fun shower hosted by Jessi in her lovely home. There was food, friends and the little girls put on a play for us. Really all they did was sword fight and kill each other but it was entertaining to say the least.
Over Spring Break Isaac had his "old neighborhood" friends over to spend the night. Isaac has really gone through withdrawal from our neighborhood. He made great friends and enjoyed playing outside all of the time. So he was beside himself with excitement when they came over.
Ben, Josiah and Isaac
They each made their own pizzas and played video games until midnight. Every boy's dream right? The next morning they ate a pound of bacon and 15 pancakes. Whew...not ready for having to feed teenage boys!
Just wanted to add a church get together at Mazzio's. I have said how much I love these people!! They are like family to us.
Next was a field trip with our homeschool group to the Fish Hatchery. This was our first time and a really cool field trip. I didn't realize how many fish we have in East Texas muddy rivers and lakes. The guide even said that the Discovery Channel show "River Monsters" had filmed an episode there. Apparently our local lake have Alligator Gar that can reach up to 8 ft. Ooohhhh and I grew up swimming in these lakes.Big Aquarium
They had a diver with a microphone that introduced all the fish that were in the tank.
Creepy giant catfish
We also got to fish. Ethan was the only one in our group that caught one
Lastly in this post, Ethan participated in a bike-a-thon to raise money to send a Chinese orphan to a week of summer camp. He worked hard to raise the money and was such a trooper. He ended up biking 12 miles. For an self proclaimed "inside kid", I was proud of him. He reached his goal and this summer he will be getting a call from the orphan he sent to camp. He really hopes it's not during his week at camp
