Beginning of Spring

Right after we got back from Evansville Ike had his math bowl competition. He had some really tough questions!













We started off mushroom season. It ended up not being a great season for us but here's our first find, ha!

















I got a little better with my sourdough making. Josh helped a lot! Here's my first real loaf. She was a beauty!















And with the last frosts over I got to work on my garden beds. I had some help from the neighbor kids :)

Spring Break Visit and Eclipse

Towards the end of the boys' spring break we went to Evansville to visit and stayed through to watch the eclipse down there. 

One of the days my mom got us a pass to play a game around downtown Evansville. It ended up being very nice so we enjoyed our walk and following the clues!








We basically just hung around and enjoyed spending time with everybody otherwise. 














While others were golfing, Ike and I helped Grandpa Charlie and Grandma Kyra with building a compost bin. Here's Ike on the saw. 




Playing cornhole at Tony and Ben's before the eclipse. 




Buster was ready. 





Recreating a picture we took in 2017 during the last total eclipse :)
















It always shocks me how dark it actually gets. The streetlights all came on, the wind died down completely, and all the birds stopped chirping. It is so cool!





 













Super fun visit!
