We returned from Arizona to a short week of school, and all of them were minimum days because of parent-teacher conferences.Because she is in the GATE program, Cora was in charge her conference with us. Her report card was excellent, and despite her recent frustration with math, she scored as well in math as in language arts, her strong suit.
Violet is doing excellent in first grade, and we didn't have a conference with her teacher.
One day this week was "twin day," and Violet planned out that she and her friend would both wear long-sleeved red shirts and black pants.
After the week of half-days, the kids are now in a two-week Spring Break.
Then we went to Sophie and Norah's birthday party, spending a nice afternoon with Adam, Morgan and other friends.
The next stop was a sleepover birthday party for Sam and Riley, Cora's friends.
After dropping her off, Stace and I took Violet to Bridgeport to take a walk and visit the ducks and turtles.
We brought along Cheerios, and Vi had a great time making new feathered friends.
On Sunday, after we picked up Cora from the sleepover, Grandma and Grandpa took them on a whale watch. They had a fantastic time, and saw a half-dozen whales and whole (huge) pod of dolphins. The dolphins swam along the boat, giving the passengers a show.
Grandpa, hurry up and print this! It needs to live in a frame!
Stace and I took advantage of the free time to check out a new brewery in town, just a couple of blocks from his work. Tucked into an industrial building, Pocock Brewery offers loads of brews, but no food. We bought a flight to try different varieties, and borrowed a pack of Uno cards from the stack of board games. It was fun! Then, we went to church and then enjoyed a dinner date.

Does the brewery allow you to bring in your own food? Most here do if they can't serve food -- or they have a food truck outside.
Love the pictures. Lots of great family times.
Love you all!
