May Fun

Nana and Grandpa came up for a quick May visit.  They were with us on Saturday.  Since Austin has soccer on Saturdays, they got to watch him play.  The weather was cold and light rain but they got to see him play.  Austin is good at soccer.  He enjoys running around the field trying to score and defend.  After soccer, we all hung out at home.  They worked on our curtains for our camper that Nana made for us.  Nana even surprised them with a Happy Meal.  We never let the kids get one so it was a nice surprise for them.

On Sunday, Brian left for Portland for 3 days.  Austin was really sad when he left.  He had never been so sad about Brian leaving like that before.  It was hard to watch.  I tried to reassure him it was only 3 days and he would be home before we knew it.  Distraction was a better technique.

After Brian left we took a quick trip to the library to see our story time teacher who was retiring.  Then we had a field trip to Heien's.  It was a great field trip. Austin tried shrimp and Brussels spouts.  He liked the shrimp but not the Brussels spouts.  I was proud of him for trying both of them.  It was a fun trip!

Then on Monday we had a field trip to Hale Farm.  This was my first time there as an adult.  I was excited to take the kids there.  It was a beautiful weather day.  We had fun!  They got to see wooing, iron making, old school room, general store, old house, and church.  We had lunch there too.  I even allowed the kids to buy an old toy from the store.  That usually doesn't happen but because Brian was out of town and it was pretty cool toy I said yes.  They were happy!

Austin had his last soccer game.  He played well.  I am excited for him to play again in the fall.  He is good and see what happens with him and soccer.  He's favorite sports are soccer and basketball.  Sydney hasn't been playing anything right now.  They will be be starting T-ball in June.

NASA had a free open house.  This was there first one in 8 years.  We thought we would take Austin and Sydney.  We were shocked to realize how busy it was.  We were sitting in traffic for over an hour just to park at the IX center.  Then in line for a bus to take us there for another 30+ minutes.  We finally made it there.  We walked around the facility for several hours.  It was cool.  We were so happy we went.

That night we had a Cavs game.  It was away so we took the kids to the watch party.  Unfortunately the Cavs lost.  We were sad however we do have fun at the watch parties!
