We had the wonderful opportunity to host Blake and three college friends this weekend while they commuted from Wofford College to the Camden Cup then on to their Garden City Spring Break Trip. It was a pleasure to meet Nick (who knew his way around a kitchen cooking up a feast for the Cup Saturday), Kaley (who played a mean Princess Monopoly game) and Amy (who was unstoppable in Connect Four). McKenzie had a ball with the older ones. It was a pleasure meeting each of these young adults and hopefully we will see them again as they journey back to Wofford next weekend and pass through Florence.

Horton Hears A Who!
We made plans about a week ago to see "Horton Hears A Who" knowing that McKenzie and Cameryn would be together all weekend, I just love the Dr. Seuss books so this was a treat. Unknowingly slick Austin made plans to see this movie with some "friends" the very same night, very same time. Driving to the theater, our orders were strictly handed down....don't talk to him....act as though we didn't know him....leave him alone....wait in the car after the movie, he would meet us there....and DON'T ask which one is his girl friend cause they are all just friends!! That experience was better than being a fly on the wall. Any who...I recommend the movie even for the little ones. Cameryn said this was now her favorite movie of all times.

Our Birthday Boy!
We have just stopped celebrating long enough to update the Blog for Austin's Sweet 16th Birthday. Or do guys (boys) just have 16th birthdays? I feel certain Austin had a sweet 16th cause after every card was opened he would yell....."Oh, SWEET". Happy Birthday Austin!

Royall Young Singers
The month of March is "Music in our Schools" month for the Florence School District 1. Each school grade, from elementary through high school, was represented over the weekend. McKenzie's group, the Royall Young Singers which consists of 4-6th graders, performed on Friday night. They sang....Swinging from the roof top, Who will be a witness and a Japanese song (the name escapes me at the moment). All the practices after school is reflected in the great performances each and every time.
JV Champs!
The West Florence JV Soccer Team had a preseason tournament this weekend. Stan and Austin left Friday for the first game against Irmo HS Gold at the Ballentine Field (in Irmo, SC). What a cold unsuccessful night....we lost 4-0. Heads hung low they drove home, thank goodness the night ended and hopefully we could bring our game for the two Saturday games. We returned to Columbia ready to play against Irmo HS Black at the Irmo fields.....we WON 5-0 !! Maybe our luck and determination was changing.....Our next game was against Dutch Fork HS....we WON again 4-0 !! With these wins our points advanced us to the championship game to play the Irmo HS Gold team again, this time for the championship. Hopefully we would have a different outcome....what a great game, we played hard, we played to win...after the hard fought battle....we WON (3-2). Congratulations JV Team....it was a lot of fun to watch.
