Hob Nob

Spring soccer season started, we had a fun Hob Nob supper club overnight with friends at the lake house, and Matt had the Cub Scouts launching rockets.  A nice first week of April.

Breakfast at Frank's Diner

Shows time before bed, or in Mom's case - a little snooze time

I hosted a round table at a brand conference downtown, so walked around a bit afterwards.

Claire rides a bike!

Back to reality after Spring Break....

Claire learned how to ride a 2-wheeler with no training wheels!  She just did it, no big deal.

Went up to the lake that weekend we got back, the waves were awesome.

Got the new bike rider a bike that actually fit her from the bike shop in Kenosha.

Florida 2019

Spring Break 2019 was awesome!  We ended up getting to see the Carpenters after all, having a few days overlap with them even though our school Spring Breaks were a week off from each other.  Always love the fun we have in St. Petersburg!  Family fun at its best.
