Pictures from This Week

This week our school did a Virtual Derby.  The regular Derby is a huge fundraiser for the school and was supposed to be the Friday before Spring Break (the 6th day of school that was canceled because of Covid-19).  The PE coaches encouraged the students to run as many 0.16 mile laps as possible in 30 minutes (which is what we do at school for the Derby).  There was no fundraising this year - it was just a way to encourage the kids to be active!

Rylan completed 19 laps (about 3 miles).

Carter completed 18 laps (about 2.9 miles).

We participated in our first birthday parade on Wednesday.

Tennessee State Parks opened last Friday.  On Thursday we went to Old Stone Fort State Park in Manchester with Jen's family.  It was much more empty than the local parks we've been going to.  The Duck River and especially the Little Duck River were flowing and made the waterfalls pretty.

We stopped at this spot on the Little Duck and the kids played in the water for awhile.

As usual, we found a snake!  Carter actually found it when he stepped on it's head (hopefully he's okay)!  It's just a small watersnake but it still scared Carter!

Our first fruit/vegetable was ready from our container garden!

Yesterday I was cleaning up the playhouse and decided to knock down the house finch nest because it was covered in tons and tons of poop.  When I went to collect the nest from the ground, I found this on one of rocks!

It was hard to tell for sure, but I think they were more house finch eggs!
