The snow boarding continued through March! In fact, the month started off with Parks and Nick in the mountains of North Carolina and then they headed to Steamboat to have some fun in Colorado.
The month of March feels like it flew by. Actually, the year feels like it is flying by. Climbing has switched gears. Parks is now into ropes season. He had one competition this month at a new gym.
The ski mountain closed about one week earlier than usual this year. Parks and Nick hit the “meltdown games,” which included the pond skim competition. Parks didn’t win, but he did make it across!
Parks and I celebrated Nick’s birthday with a home made blueberry pie.
Oh my, I don’t know how I forgot! This was also midterms month! Everyone had midterms. They were tough!
All three kids had spring break this month. Parks went out west with Nick. Sims went to a regatta in LA. Sawyer visited Catherine in Charleston, hung out at home and went to a wedding in a town a bit a north of here. Overall, I think everyone had a pretty good spring break!
The end of the month was bittersweet for our family. Our nextdoor neighbor for the past 15 years passed away. She lived an amazing 100 years, and she was an integral part of my children’s childhood. She was laid to rest on Saturday.
After a day of reminiscing, we celebrated the beginning of spring with our traditional bird nest oatmeal and some games. This year, we tried out egg bocce instead of the annual egg hunt. Overall, I think it was a success!
