Dance Recital 2019

Abby and Caroline are always excited for their spring dance recital!  

 We took some fun pics at home before leaving.

 It was a fun afternoon celebrating their hard work on the dance floor all year!

Battleship Texas

 We headed to Spring Memorial Day Weekend and visited Battleship Texas and the San Jacinto Monument with GiGi and PawPaw.  This battleship is one of only seven remaining ships and the only remaining capital ship to have served in both World Wars.  I love when we can squeeze in some history on any trip!

 Abby and Caroline had never been on a battleship.  Abby was especially excited for this trip as she learned quite a bit of Texas history in school this past year.

During World War II, the German coastal defense hit the ship twice.  The first shell exploded, injuring twelve and killing one.  This was the only combat fatality ever aboard Battleship Texas.  The second shell did not explode and was nicknamed the "lucky shell."  We were excited when we found it on display.

 After exploring the ship, we found the spot where Santa Anna surrendered and visited the San Jacinto museum and monument.

We were ready for some seafood at Monument Inn after our Texas history field trip!

It's A Wrap!

We wrapped up the school year with lots of special moments and events!  Caroline and Brent 

did some fishing one Friday night up at our church pond.  Abby and I had bad allergies and opted to watch from the car.  I was quick to snap these sweet pics.

Brent had a good birthday dinner at our house!  I was busy hosting and didn't get many pics.

Caroline is officially obsessed with Harry Potter.  When she finishes a book, we run to the store for the next.

The girls got into Caroline's Market Day project for school.  She sculpted and painted quite a bit of pottery and sold it all!

Abby's 4th Grade Graduation

She is absolutely thrilled to go to her new school, but she got very emotional saying goodbye to her CES teachers and principal.  She comes by it honestly!  She had three awesome years at CES with sweet teachers and a great group of friends!

It's a Wrap!  The last day of school, Nonnie and I clapped Abby out!

I hosted a graduation party with some other moms the last day.

Caroline had fun with another sibling.

That evening the party continued at the skating rink.  It was a celebration for the entire grade.

The next day, Abby had another party!  Her friend, Emory, had a birthday party at a painting place.

Our next celebration was with the Anderson side of our family.  We had everyone for burgers and swimming to celebrate Caroline's birthday and Aunt Haley's birthday.

Caroline was super excited about all her Harry Potter shirts and American Girl Doll pool.  Somewhere in the middle of all those happenings, we went to see The Battleship Texas and San Jacinto Monument!  Stay tuned for that post!
