A Trip to the Zoo

We took the kids to the Cincinnati Zoo towards the end of February the temperature was suppose to be around 60 although if felt a bit cooler in Cincinnati.  It was a lot of fun the lions put on quite a show for us and were just a roaring.  It was very entertaining.  However, these were the only four wild animals I managed to capture a picture of.

All State Choir

Brodie at the concert

Brodie  also spent the last few months prepare for his All Stat eChoir performance.  He tried out for Kentucky All State  Children's choir, and thanks to an amazing choir teacher he made it ( I guess he has talent too). He was very excited we were shocked because this family, with the exception of Brodie is not talented in this area maybe another child will shock us with musical talent one day in the future too. There were over 650 children who tried out, and Brodie and Joseph a friend from church were two of the three children chosen from our county.  So Brodie and Mom went to Louisville for two days and stayed at the Galt House Hotel, which is right on the river in  the middle of downtown Louisville.  It was a lot of fun, and the concert was amazing.  Brodie, and Mom are hoping he makes it again so we can go again next year.

Basketball

February was the end of basketball season for us. Caylor played tough and improved a lot, and had fun playing on the Mavericks. Brodie played for the Heat and his team won the Championship.  The last few games were very intense, but a lot of fun.  The games came down to the last seconds Brodie made the winning shot in a couple of the playoff games.
