Spring sports, activities, Mother's Day, camping and concerts

 It's been a busy spring filled with sports and band and choir concerts!

Kyle enjoyed flag football! He even scored a game-winning touchdown.

Maeve had a co-ed ultimate frisbee league and volleyball.

Cecilia started another soccer season and won the volleyball championship.

Maeve's choir, Cecilia's choir and band, and Kyle's choir concert were all lovely!

When we weren't busy every night of the week in April and May with that, we also squeezed in an overnight camping trip for Maeve to Camp Foley where she got to try out her canoe she built with her class and Kyle had an overnight boy scout camp with Eric and Grandpa Steve joined in on the dinner festivities and got the tent all prepped.

Mother's Day was also squeezed in with wonderful Paella on the flat top and watching a movie while Eric cooked. And then end of the year poetry party for Kyle and a Hoover Dam presentation from Cecilia.

Master's Tournament visit

 I was invited to the Master's Tournament from a work vendor and had the most amazing time. After leaving FL a day early and Eric having to bring the kids home from FL, a driver brought me from Atlanta to Augusta. I arrived around 10pm to the rental house and had a short night of sleep so we could leave at 5am to wait in line for the garden gnome. It was well worth the wait. Standing in line for 2 hours and meeting the rest of the team that would be there that day with us was fun. Mike, our host, has been many times before so knew exactly where we should go. While we went shopping to get the gnome and throw whatever else in our shopping bag that we wanted to bring home for friends and family, he went to buy chairs and put them out on the 15th green. We were lucky enough to have tickets to Berckmans where only people who get tickets from a member can get in to. It had about 6 michelin-star restaurants, even an Italian place that flew the chef in from Italy, and specialty stores with a special logo. We went shopping again and ate at a Scottish pub. We enjoyed watching for celebrities - we saw Peyton Manning, Lynn Swan, Usher, Joe Jonas, and the girl that played Elphaba on Broadway. We were able to putt 3 of the holes that they created for the area. Afterwards we walked the 18 holes backwards to see the grounds, watch the earlier tee times, and enjoy the food on the grounds - Pimiento cheese sandwich, iced tea, and a Georgia-peach ice cream sandwich. After we shopped some more and left our bags checked at Berckman's we went to our seats. They were incredible. As we were approaching the 15th hold, Ryan Cantley's ball came right in front of us so we got to be should-to-shoulder with his caddie. We then got to our seats and were on TV quite a few times. My bright pink hat stood out in the crowd and could easily be seen on TV! We were so close to Shane Lowry, Justin Rose, Scottie Scheffler, and Rory Mcilroy. It was a surreal experience. Had the best time! And the gnome made it back through the carry on and all the thousands of dollars worth of merch.
