Me and Whitney went to a Girl Scout Father Daughter date last week. It was pretty fun. We went miniature golfing. The only trouble was that there was a lot of girls there and they had everyone come at once, so there was an hour long line just to get to the first tee.

So me and Whitney went to Baskin Robbins and got some ice cream. Her favorite is chocolate, so she had a big ice cream cone of chocolate ice cream. Afterwards, we went back to the golf place (we were on my motorcycle, by the way, which is a lot of fun to take out on nights like that) and played. Whitney ended up winning 71-84. She had a lot of fun.

The other picture is of all the tigers watching a movie on Netflix. Me and Heidi just discovered it in the living room one day and thought it was a funny picture.

This past weekend we packed up and headed out camping. We went to Shenandoah River State Park, which is about 70 miles from here. It only has a few campsites, and no room for trailers, so it has a kind of more rustic than normal feel to it. There aren’t any trash cans, for instance, but there are showers. It is along the banks of the Shenandoah River and is a very nice place to stay.

We got there on Friday and no sooner had gotten the tent set up than it started to rain. And it rained hard. We were all in the tent, trying to not touch the roof or sides which would let the water in. Luckily, the tent repelled most of the water and we only had a few leaks around the corners of the tent, which we soaked up with towels.

The next day more than made up for it, however, because it was a really nice day. The weather was perfect and the sun was shining. We took our rubber boat down the river and had a lot of fun. There were a couple copperhead snakes (more…)

Whitney had her birthday the other day, and had a good time. She had a birthday party with her Grandma and Grandpa Hubbard, who were out here for the kids’ Spring Break. She invited a few friends from school and they all went bowling.

She also went to another birthday party for a girl in her school who has the same birthday as her. That girl had a sleepover, and so Whitney got to go to her first (more…)

Easter was a good time this year. Once again, the Easter Bunny found us. The kids were a little worried that the Easter Bunny would see Sassy and let her go (yes, we know Sassy is technically a boy but we mostly still call him a her) but that didn’t happen.

The eggs and candy were hidden pretty well, and there is still one egg that I saw the other day, so sometime this summer the kids will find a good surprise.

Whitney had a recital a couple weeks ago, but they didn’t allow video cameras inside, so we just recorded her playing at home. She did a very good job at the recital, although she was kind of nervous. There was a lot of people there and it was kind of a new experience for her. She actually made a small error during the live performance, but she got her scores back and got two “Superior” ratings, and both judges complemented her on the way she quickly and seamlessly recovered from the error.

She ended up doing a great job though and, as you can see, plays the piece quite well.

Mason has watched Whitney rack up all sorts of awards at school since we’ve been here, and this semester was his first chance to get an award of his own. Luckily, he was chosen as a Superstar Student so he got an award. There weren’t very many kids chosen out of his class, so I’m glad he was one of them.

Whitney also got a couple awards; she was chosen because she got two good report cards last semester. Pictures after the break. (more…)
