May is always such an incredibly busy month! I've heard friends start referring to this as "May-cember;" it's just as busy as December but without the holiday fun. Here's some of the events (other than the musicals and saltere which are in separate posts) that we've had going on.
Ryan and I had a great date night at an Atlanta United game thanks to our friend, Katie. Her dad has a suite down at the Benz, so she invited lots of friends to come enjoy a game one Saturday evening. We gladly said yes! We had a great time hanging out with friends and watching Atlanta beat Tampa!
Ryan and Mia also enjoyed a date one afternoon at Chuck E Cheese. Still fun after all these years.
I was very fortunate to get several days down at Mom and Dad's condo in Gulf Shores. It's also so refreshing mentally to take this time after tax season to relax and have this down time. Sunsets off the back balcony are always wonderful.
Macaroons make a fun dessert! We have loved being able to eat dinner outside several nights recently as the weather has been lovely.
I surprised the family with tickets to a United game on Sunday after church. I actually bought the tickets before Ryan and I went with our friends. This wasn't quite as nice as a suite (ha!), but it was still a lot of fun. This time United tied with New England.
I found this cool little subscription box called MunchPack. It sends us five snacks/candies from around the world. Yes please! This was the first one, and it had lots of good ones included. We can't wait to see what comes next.
Lily did a honors biology project on the Kiwi Bird. To help with her presentation, she made a bird out of kiwi. Super cute and creative!
Lily went with Emma and several other friends to watch Zaya's younger sister, Anna, perform in the Marietta Sixth Grade Academy's Frozen production. Anna played one of the trolls that raised Christoph. She said they did a really great job.
Lily's class had a fantastic time at The Escapery celebrating Alyssa Hurst's 16th birthday. Both teams made it out of their escape rooms with time to spare!
We enjoyed going to the upper school's end of year chapel service and awards ceremony. Lily was recognized for being a part of Cambridge's winning Geography Bee team and for being on the all-year A/B honor roll (no more than 2 B's in the whole year). Mia was recognized for being on the all-year all A honor roll. God has gifted our girls with intelligence and the ability to work and study hard; we're so proud of the efforts they put in at school. Mrs. Myrick led the choir as well which Lily is a part of. They sounded so beautiful!
The girls have been busy with lots of year-end school work, projects, and finals too. It's hard to believe 9th and 7th grades are over, but we're ready to bring on the summer fun!
