April 2021

 Easter Fun!  We tried out a new easter egg dying technique at Aunt Patti's suggestion, using bleading tissue paper.  They turned out beautiful! 













Children's Church Easter Trivia!



Stella was given the opportunity to participate in NYSSMA this year and she's been practicing for her solo.








We haven't left the area since Fall so for spring break we decided to get away for a few days.  Since spring came early, we ventured to Green Lakes State Park outside of Syracuse.  This is a meromictic lake in which the deepest waters and the surface don't mix,  resulting in a bluish-green hue. It was our first visit to the park and we enjoyed the hiking tails and learning about this unique and rare type of lake.  We also ventured over to Destiny USA for some shopping and fun.  We tried out a secret spy escape room challenge that was pretty neat, and of course stopped by the Carousel!  While COVID made many things about the weekend getaway a challenge, we all enjoyed ourselves and it felt good to take a trip, even if a short one!







The Hooley's came home for a weekend and that was a nice treat, having everyone together!

A few other things:

Weekly Mask Washing

Snuggling with Lily

While we've been selling product with our Girl Scout troop we haven't engaged in a lot of other kinds of activities this year.  When I saw an online DNA workshop I thought it might be interesting, and it was.  Here the girls extacted DNA from a Strawberry with about 20 other kids from around the country.
