We traveled back to Canyon for IEA Regionals. We enjoyed spending the day before the show visiting with Grandma and Grandpa who made the trip down to watch the show! We especially loved a chance to visit Palo Duro Canyon!

| Game Time! |
 |
| Enjoyed getting to visit with Amanda and Sydney! |
 |
| Lorelei and a friend at the horse show. Lorelei placed 4th out of 4 and enjoyed spending the day at the show. |

| Dedicated fans! It was COLD! |
Makin has been working on and off for months on his robot in order to compete in an ant weight robotics tournament.
We had absolutely gorgeous weather for our Adventure Friday. First the boys golfed in Waxahachie (it was the nearest course to Ennis) and the girls (and Watson) had a great time exploring the downtown area. This town was just our style! After picking up the boys (side note, BIG moment, Makin beat his dad for the first time!) we snuck in a couple of flea market/antique stores with the boys per their request before heading to Ennis. First we found the Belgian horses for Lorelei before heading to the Bluebonnet Festival for a bit. Then we headed to the bluebonnet field around the golden hour for my beloved pics. (See previous post!)

| Old train station turned into a coffee shop! Brilliant! |
 |
| Couldn't resist this gas station-turned-bakery! Watson enjoyed his first pup cup! |
 |
| Hit the trail for a bit. |
Makin has been looking forward to this for months and he and Brad headed out with friends to see the new movie.
Lorelei continues to volunteer at ManeGait and absolutely loves it.
I don't get much of a chance to take pics while she is there but snapped this one in the parking lot with a fellow volunteer she enjoys working with.
We had our first Adventure Club hike and it was absolutely beautiful! Cedar Ridge Nature Preserve is definitely the best hike I've enjoyed in this area. The boys led the way and we even had three dogs in the group. I'm thinking this might likely become our April usual.

| Bluebonnets! |
 |
| The view! |
 |
| Thankful for these friends! |
Our homeschool group had a Nerf Battle and Makin had a great time.
Lorelei decided to try her hand at selling home-made dog treats. She didn't have much profit, but we always love her enthusiasm!
We were so excited to spend almost 24 hours with long-time friends Dennis and Raechel while they were in the area. We enjoyed supper on Friday night and some patio time visiting. We tried to sleep in a bit before heading out to Popstroke for a double date! The kids enjoyed the visit as well and Makin got a few robot tips from Dennis during their chats.
After months of "No I do not want a haircut, I want to keep it long," Lorelei decided she wanted to get it cut. In true spontaneous style she decided she wanted it cut Sunday morning and that she would love to go that same day. She is loving that it is easier to fix!
Coffee and Conversation Cards at the lake before work!
I get to watch this sweet boy while his mom teaches Lorelei and a few other students Spanish I. He brings me joy every week! This visit he was reaching for Lorelei after class so we couldn't resist a pic!

| After multiple grooming failures ourselves we decided to pay the professionals...it's shorter than we thought it would be, but at least this will help us last longer until the next cut? I keep asking who's dog that is because he looks so different! |
