Spring Break 2016~Brevard NC

                                                   We are hunting for waterfalls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

             We were lead to a private viewing of a waterfall in the back of someone's property(a.k.a.-                                Michelle the tour guide who knew where to find it)!!

 We saw three falls in all in one day, while it was still good weather!  Lot's of walking but worth it!

                           These pics were in front of Waterglass falls in the Piscah Nat'l forest.

 On the campus of Brevard College, out in front of the music building-beautiful campus.

We were looking for real white squirrels, and then found this one in the tree so we had to get a pic!!!!!!!!  

 Yes, we found a famous white squirrel in the Davidson Campgrounds-he was very photogenic!!!!!

Finally, we got to go Horse-back riding, one of our favorite things to do-we had lots of fun on the trail!

                     Hanging out in the Campgrounds fishing and watching the ducks in the pond! 

Camping was fun too-we stayed at a private campground south of Brevard which was interesting for the kids-a large pond and playground were the best part of it.  Lots of fun in what seemed too short of a trip, but we will be going back sometime soon!  Lot's more to see in NC!

Happy Easter~2016

                   
                      Happy Easter-Happy Spring-hopefully it's coming soon wherever you are!

                                                                                            Getting very creative with decorating this year!

The Easter Bunny was a bit tricky this year, and it took some time to finally find all the hidden eggs!

When asked why we have Easter Eggs on Easter, there was some good discussion that took place.  There are a lot of symbols behind Easter and eggs, one of them being that the egg is symbolic for the tomb that Jesus was placed- and once they(cracked open the tomb-rolled the stone away)his body was no longer there, but with the creator- what a wonderful surprise and victory for so many people. The inside of the egg is symbolic for the renewal of life, strength, fertility and nourishment for all.  The girls are just starting to understand so much more about this holiday, and they really liked how that concept fit together.

Honors Choir Recital 2016

 It was a beautiful night with the honors choir from 13 different elementary schools performing 6 songs.  They sounded amazing.  Hailey also got to play one of her songs with the xylophone, which is one of the reasons she got asked to perform with the choir.  They all did such a great job.

 The 6 girls in the program from BBE, and Mrs. Bush, and Dr. Seccia(vice principal to BBE). 

 Emily wanted Hailey to have a rose, so she got one from a friend, and then they both got one.

Some good friends in this pic: Angelina, Layla, Mrs. Bush(Music teacher), Hailey and friend Katie.
