Easter Fishing

Later on Easter Sunday we met up with the Dabbs family at Lake Michie (pronounced Mickey, get it right).

Teagan caught her very first fish!

The girls caught at least 2 fish each (I lost count) using their princess pole.

In fact, the princess pole was getting so much action that Joshua had to give it a try!

I caught the only bass of the day (small mouth). It was bigger than my arm! See?

Joshua found a turtle. I believe he is a baby river cooter. At first I thought he was a red belly, but he has a flat chin...and red bellies are more of a coastal turtle in NC.

Easter Morning

We all got up at the smack of dawn.

After divulging the contents of the family Easter basket, we headed out to Sunrise Service followed by breakfast with our friends from CUMC.

Flower Dissection and Imbibation

I woke up on Friday, the last day of our Spring Break, and asked the kids what they wanted to do. So we spent the better part of the evening doing science experiments. We carefully dissected flowers and labeled the parts on a worksheet. We also looked at a piece of each section under the microscope.

We started some carnations in colored water to be able to visually see the water travel up the stem and to the petals.
