The mild spring continues. I\u2019m wondering if we\u2019re in for a cool summer this year because of the volcano in Iceland. But for now we\u2019re off to a fantastic start.<\/p>\n
Last week I got chance to adjust the brake on Lizzy\u2019s bike. I also got my Mustang on the road for the first real drive of the season. The engine runs great, smooth and with good power. The front end has a little rattle when you get above about 85 or 95 MPH, but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s a major concern since it\u2019s rare to have to opportunity to do that.<\/p>\n
My Mum and Dad were in town for a visit last weekend, and it was an excellent time, full of activities for the kids. Friday night was Lizzy\u2019s school science fair. It was cool to see all the different projects. A lot of the kids did demos, but not all of them did actual experiments with collecting data over multiple trials. Lizzy\u2019s team did, and they won for her grade with her Gravity project! Good to see her hard work pay off. I think was the word \u201cData\u201d written in glitter on her display really put her project over the top.<\/p>\n
Saturday Michelle had her dance recital. It was very nice and had a circus theme and different sets of kids putting on dances at their level. Michelle\u2019s group did \u201cThe lion tamer and her cubs.\u201d Some of the older kids were really pretty good and had several number\u2019s worth of stage time. The whole thing hung together as a show and was pretty entertaining, and Michelle was thrilled.<\/p>\n
Saturday we were planning on a barbecue, but by the time we started cooking the weather was cooling off so we ended up eating inside. Sunday and Monday it rained all day, so that was the end of our warm and sunny spell. Cold and rainy today too, but at least it\u2019s good for the allergies. And hey, look, the sun is coming out again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
