Friends and Pups
Lorelei is so excited to have a friend who is as enthused about pups as she is. :)
Love our days at Wayback Barn!
I hosted a mini retreat for a few friends at home because our homeschool group was unable to have their retreat this year. We enjoyed our time together and watching a few podcast episodes as our "speakers" along with some yummy food!

We enjoyed having Nana for her spring break visit! We tried to fit in as much patio time as possible.
 |
| Treasure Hunting Saturday (might become a new tradition during Nana's visit) |
 |
| Worn Out from out Treasure Hunting |
 |
| Plant Shopping |
 |
| It's Lorelei's turn to be excited about plants. Makin seems a bit devastated after a few years of disappointments so he only got a strawberry plant this year. Lorelei has big dreams and is excited to take over the gardening. |

| St. Patrick's Day Shamrock Shakes |
 |
| Nana made stew for us again this year. Yum. |
 |
| Yatzee time! |
After working on "flat feet" most of his life, we finally got around to trying physical therapy to fix the problem. So far it seems to be helping so we are hopeful! Makin doesn't particularly enjoy it, but is invested because he knows it is what is best! I'm proud of him for doing a great job remembering to do his exercises at home!
We enjoyed the Celtic Festival again this year and invited some friends to join!
The Irish Wolfhounds are always fun to see.
 |
| Viking Demos |
 |
| We got to watch a friend perform at the Highland Dance competition! |
 |
| Lorelei's purchase for Watson. |
This month we headed to the golf course. Does Brad love golf. Yep. Do I golf? Nope. Do I love being outside with Brad? Sure do. It works for us!
We enjoyed a field trip to the George Bush Presidential Center this month. The museum is so well done and we may just have to go back because this visit felt a bit rushed! It is a hidden gem!
 |
| A look at 9-11, including some beams from one of the towers. |
 |
| Makin's favorite part... a techy activity that helped them see what the various countries did as they prepared for what might lead to a war. |
 |
| The replica Oval Office was definitely a favorite for me. |
 |
| Another techy opportunity to see what goes into presidential decision making. Amazing. |
 |
| Fun way to quiz yourself on different rights. Wish we could test like this at home. |
 |
| So thankful to spend my days adventuring with these two. |
Loving watching the strawberry plant this spring!
This month he made some sort of clock, named The Ticker.
We finally started an adventure club! (I've been wanting to start one for over a year but didn't feel the timing was working out...) We plan to meet once a month, sometimes meeting twice a month.
Our first adventure club day got rained out, but thankfully, indoor opportunities abound around here. Instead of an outdoor nature trail we headed to The Puttery. It was a first for the other families and everyone had fun!
The boys are loving the beautiful weather and fitting in as much golf as they can.
This guy gets many photos taken these days.
We half-joke that Brad is his second-favorite. A bit sad for Makin but probably accurate.
