Dancing Queen

Dance season this year was full and busy. But the girls had a good time. 

 Kendall's bid buddy, Maggie. 

 The girls love watching their caterpillars turn into butterflies and then releasing them.

 The girl scouts has been super fun this year. We recently organized a Cache In Trash Out geocaching event at Saluda Shoals - it was so fun!

 After walking the Park with Ranger Amanda to learn about hiking we met up with some local volunteers to helped explain geocaching to the girls. It was great having them as guides. 

 This was a cool geocache up in a tree on a pulley system. It was my first micro-cache.

And of course a traditional geocache with all the swag.

Spring Break

We were lucky enough to spend our Spring break with part of the Denja family. Paulina, Carmen, and Aunt Leighanne came down to visit us for some fun in the sun. 

 It wasn't quite warm enough for the pool, so we spent lots of time in the hot tub 'swimming.'

 Bathing beauties soaking up some SC sun - when Gert wasn't bother them that is.

 We took in a service for Tartan fest at the West Columbia River Walk.

It was a short visit and I had to work a few days, but it was great to see part of the Denja crew.

Irish Eyes are Smiling

 I started my new job on March 17, 2016 at the Office of Regulatory Staff's Energy Office.

 The girls and I decided to celebrate the best way we knew how - with mint chocolate chip ice cream.

The tradition continues with the annual trek to Five Points for Get to the Green 5k run followed by chili cheese fries and bloody marys and then on to the parade. 

 This year we even took in some of the rides at MLK park afterwards.

Always fun to celebrate with family and friends. My favorite holiday second only to Halloween.
