Multicultural Night

Harper's school had a multicultural night last night.  Each class worked on a separate country and made visual aids to put into the hall for the event.  Harper's class learned about Ethiopia.  We had fun exploring the different cultures represented in the hallways.  They had food trucks with a variety of ethnic food for dinner.  We watched a traditional African dance too!
       
     
     
    
Ethiopia!  Harper made the mask next to her head.  They represent the endangered Ethiopian wolves.
    
Harper made this poster on endangered Ethiopian goats.

Busy Spring

The kids have been keeping us busy with all of their activities.  Ethan plays soccer one day a week and tennis another.  Harper has soccer practice one night a week and a game on the weekends.  Harper also has Girl Scouts and Alex has curling a couple nights a week.  Spring is a busy season!
       
After soccer practice on Thursday, we went out to eat at Optimist Hall.  The weather was beautiful!
   
    
    
The Charlotte Fair was in town this weekend so we had to check it out!  It was not crowded at all.  The kids had a blast.
   
   
   
   
     
We love our roller coasters!
    
     
We watched Lady Houdini escape from jackets and chains.
    
    
     
I love Ferris wheels!
    
   
    
     
Ethan enjoyed the little rides.
    
   
   
     
    
     
   
    
       
Harper did great at her soccer game!
   
We went into Cary on Saturday after Harper's soccer game for Nova's birthday party.
