Back to School! And, Visitors!

Aunt Patty and Uncle Bill came into town for our long MLK Day weekend! And on Thursday afternoon, Melanie, Nick and Ellie stopped over, so Aunt Patty got to spend quality time with this cutie.
On Thursday evening, we went to an escape room together, and Linda, Steve and Kelly met us, too. We split into two rooms, and my team escaped! We had several clues, though, so we can't take all the credit.

Here's our whole group...
And the team that didn't quite make it out...
Mom was trying to get a nice selfie pic with her little brother...and it was harder than it looked. They were cracking me up.
Stace and Cora busied themselves with the puzzles with various types of locks while we waited for the second team to finish up.
On Friday morning, Vi finally got to ride her new bike to school. It had been frosty all week in the mornings, and Cora has a much longer ride, but Friday was warmer, in the 40s. Violet was excited!
Later, Violet had her normal Friday half-day, and after we ate, we took a walk. We came across this interesting sight - vultures having their own lunch, roadkill opossum. (Look under the bush.)
Violet was quite put out by viewing the cycle of life up close and personal. But we soldiered on, and had a lovely walk.
On Sunday, we had the family over and Uncle Bill and Aunt Patty made their amazing pizza for dinner. It was great to all be together!
