Wetumpka Bridge Pic Update 2013

The last weekend of Spring Break, we went back to help mend a fence at Granny and Pawpaw's. While there we went to get an updated bridge picture for the family room.  Dax and Cole were still seeing good photo moments throughout the park so we had another small photo shoot similar to the one at Biltmore. (as long as this phase lasts I am going to take advantage of it:)  The seventh picture is simply to record how our family usually arrives and leaves any given location: Cole running ahead, David in 2nd, me usually holding Korwyn's hand, and Dax bringing up the rear at a distracted pace:) Will be interesting to see where Korwyn falls in the lineup when she is completely left to be herself. Dax-9; Cole-7; Korwyn-2

Spring Break Pt 3- Truck Blanket tent

I do not have pictures of our favorite experience of the trip because it was dark and I could not have gotten far enough away to take the picture anyway. (It became my favorite part later.  David was interviewing the boys about their favorite things we did on our way home from Alabama. ) 

It occurred on our way home to Georgia.  They had taken their blankets and hung them over the headrests in the back of the truck to create "tents".  They included Korwyn in their little adventure and the giggles were amazing! We had prepped them that we would have to remove them when we got closer to the city due to traffic but while on the less congested interstate it was ok.  I discussed with David how I used to be amazed at how much fun my friends with siblings had in their family cars.

When the boys said this was their favorite thing even over the Fun Depot, I had to add it to our memories!

Spring Break 2013 Pt. 2 - Biltmore

Our trip to the Biltmore was a bit last minute! We had driven around downtown Asheville (pic of basketball grapes on side of Art Museum)

exploring the area and ended up at the McDonald's in Biltmore Village in which is a player piano. The boys were mesmerized by the piano and we began talking about the style of the McDonald's reflecting the Biltmore.  They became curious and since their current ages allowed for free entry we decided to make a go of it.  It was surprising because we thought they would like it; we never thought they would love it or that Dax would read the guide so thoroughly.  Also surprising was how many picture opportunities Cole set up during our walk through the gardens.  We joked that this is where we need to go for their Senior pics because they were SO into it! (which is extremely rare)

Spring Break 2013 Pt. 1

We adjusted our plans and ended up in Asheville, NC  on Monday in the "best hotel room EEEVVVVEEERRR!!!" according to the fellas. Korwyn experienced her first family vacation putting and her first carousel ride at the Fun Depot

.  Her brothers were so nice to ride along! On our second adventure at the Fun Depot, the boys did some "mini bowling" and Korwyn attempted.  She hadn't realized how strong the brothers are!! She fed the gold fish with Dad on the putting green. That almost equalled the carousel ride!

Easter 2013

Some of our Easter experiences included "resurrection rolls", scavenger hunt for baskets, fellas' egg hunt in yard, K and E egg pick up, LEGO bunny creation by Cole, and a ham/turkey supper with Bisbells.  The boys favorite clue in Scavenger hunt was "I am pretending to be a white knight" and the egg was hiding in a Knight's place on chess board. Korwyn's favorite thing was her sunglasses.

1st Science Fair experience

Dax earned a third place ribbon for his first science fair experiment in the 3rd grade.  He compared boiling, frozen, and room temperature golf balls and confirmed his hypothesis that temperature does affect their rebound and that the warmer the molecules the higher the bounce.  (We had to stop by on our way to a pack meeting to see results of judging)

Isbell Practice Range Ball Collector

The fellas have recently begun golf lessons with Coach Vince Young (Coach V) and they practice MUCH in the yard! Korwyn and I took this afternoon while they were away at a lesson to gather up the practice balls.   I was her motor and she was the ball collector.  Great team!

At a lesson with Coach V at Hampton Golf Club. Korwyn "lining up the ball" with brother.
