Spring Break Trip

The Leaps headed to Colorado for Spring Break. We made a quick stop in Memphis to see the Lorraine Hotel where MLK Jr. was shot.

The hotel has turned into a museum. We were on a tight schedule so

we just took some pictures and headed out of town.

On our drive, we noticed that the dogs in Oklahoma are very big!!!

We also enjoyed some amazing Kansas BBQ!!

Johnnie Carr Soccer Team

Ethan tried out for the school soccer team and he made it!

We laughed and laughed when he brought home the travel clothes.

I love this picture! My little dude hung with the biggest guys!

The team won the city league, but came in second in the city tournament. He had a great experience!

February 11, 2017 Birmingham, Al

We decided to spend our weekend finishing up the Civil Rights Trail in Alabama.

We spent a few hours at the Civil Rights Institute. This museum was fascinating! There was so much good information and fantastic photos.

The museum has the actual door from MLK Jr.s jail cell.

Across from the museum is the 16th Street Baptist Church which served as an

organizational headquarters in the 1960s.

After the museum, we went to the Galleria mall and enjoyed the Lego American Road Show.

The pieces were amazing!

January 12, 2017 Spelling Bee

The 4th and 5th grade classes at Link's school participated in a spelling bee.

Link volunteered to represent his classroom.

I think I was more nervous than he was. In fact, I was so nervous, I didn't get any pictures of him spelling! He did fantastic and came in third place!

He was the last 4th grader standing!

Nate and I were super proud of this guy!

Ethan has taken many pictures over the years by the little evergreen tree in Pennsylvania. We got the latest one this year. Ethan and the tree have grown quite a bit!
