Happenings

Each year the third grade holds a South Carolina History Fair where they celebrate South Carolina history and traditions. This year the moms went over the top with a fantastic activity. Their stations included lighthouse at Hilton Head, face painting, the Shag (SC dance), Carolina Wren, yellow jasmine, peach cobbler, grits, the Darlington Raceway and SC trivia. I was substitute teaching in 5th grade so I didn't get to go, but David did. Thankfully I also had sweet friends who took pictures for me.

David taught them how to do the shag.

I don't have pictures of the other stations, but they had a lot of fun.

This year Baylie is also old enough to participate in Run Hard, a great local program that teaches fitness along with positive character traits. The participants prepare to run a 5K.

In other news, we used some of our tax return money to get the kids passports. We don't know where we're going, but at least now it's an option!
