February

We went to a little retro arcade restaurant downtown with the neighbors. It was pretty fun and delicious. Would recommend.

My folks came to visit. We played croquet and Hannah and Mary came over. Nox had a playdate with Nova. We went to see Julianna too with a quick stop in Greenville.

There are some monkey bars randomly in the woods that are part of our neighborhood park. They are now a hot spot on our walks.

Rory's class has been studying westward expansion and his teacher turned all their table groups into covered wagons. Heart eyes! Speaking of Heart Eyes, that movie trailer kept popping up on YouTube and terrifying both my children.

We had Rory's class buddy and his family over one night. I was a bit nervous, but I think it went pretty well. They like Nate Bargatze and watch Severance, so they must be cool.

We went to the USC Engineering Open House again, which was still cool, but no Oblek to run across. We did get to do the fancy flight simulator this time. We invited the Brouceks who missed a soccer game to come so we were hoping it lived up. It kinda didn't, but that is okay. Silas had a field trip to Discovery Place, the worst museum in the world. It did live up to that reputation.
