Egg Hunt

We went to an egg hunt with some friends yesterday. Then we went to their noise for dinner and a quick (and chilly) swim. The girls were super brave and went pretty much on their own.

Princesses

Why wouldn't you ride scooters in Cinderella and Elsa dresses?

Texas Tulips

Well, these tulip fields are pretty skimpy compared to the ones in Skagit Valley, but the girls still enjoyed tromping through the mud and picking at the tulips. 

She even looks like pure mischief in photos. 

Grand Prix

We had the Awana Grand Prix on Wednesday night, which involved the girls creating race cars. When it comes to special projects, our philosophy is to let the girls complete it as independently as possible. Needless to say, their cars looked much like the block of wood we were provided, with the 4 wheels from the kit hammered into the little notches on the side of the block of wood. Of course they painted them and added lots of glitter. The only part with which they wanted our help was to help make their names in glue so they could add the appropriate glitter. 

When we arrived at Awana, we were a little shocked to find a "weigh in" station, and discovered that Lia's car was .4 pounds too heavy. The judges helped us out by drilling some holes in it so that we could race at the proper weight. 

The races then began, racing 3 cars at a time for what seemed like 10 trials each. Our cars didn't even cross the finish line because we apparently didn't properly apply graphite to our wheels so that they would keep spinning all the way down the track. Oh well, we left our mark with lots of glitter all over the track, and the girls were proud of their ribbons. 

Yum!

Who needs a lollipop when Adriana makes us mangos?!
