Prince of Egypt!

Way back at the end of February, we went to see “The Prince of Egypt” at Walker Valley High School. 
Holy moly! It was incredible!!!
A friend from camp was in the play, which is how we knew about it. 

It was so good that we went back the next day to see it again!
Jessica and I still listen to the soundtrack at school quite regularly. My girls get on to me for singing the songs so often. Haha Man, I just love a good musical! We can’t wait to find out what they’re planning for next year.

Amanda’s 40th!

We had another 40th birthday surprise party for Amanda at Heidi’s house a while back. So fun!

It was disguised as a book exchange party, which was also so much fun!

I have the best, sweetest friends!

North Shore!

We went to visit the Shibley’s new church last Sunday and got to see their kids get baptized. Afterwards, we walked over to Coolidge Park for a picnic and found out the carousel is free on Sundays. That was a thrill!
We rode it so many times in a row that I started feeling queasy. 







It was a wonderful day!

Dollywood!

Jessica and I got to go to Dollywood on a STEAM field trip with Lydia and Eleonora last week. 
This was our sweet group of girls. 


We had the best weather! Barely any rain. We thought we were gonna be soaked!




There were barely any lines for the rides. So nice!
 Our friend Christine let us use her photo pass to get these funny action shots. I might have screamed just a bit!





The whole group!
Lydia and Eleonora are at the top of the loop in this pic of the TN Tornado. It was their first time to ride. 


We had the BEST time!!!
