At the start of March, we had our first free Saturday without basketball. While we loved our Saturdays at the court, they did not allow for our usual adventures, and it was a perfect day for being outside at the Science Center. During this trip, we separated into boys and girls in the outdoor section, and I was quite surprised when Emmy wanted to go in the petting zoo. When she was little, she wouldn't get anywhere close to the animals, but on this day, she was brave enough to even pose for photos. She had her own camera and took several pictures too. After leaving from the Science Center, we had lunch at Freddy's and then made a stop at Play It Again Sports. There were still a few items we needed for the upcoming baseball season, and we were able to find some good deals on a glove and helmet for Eli and belts and socks for both kids. I have managed to acquire the other items (bat bags, bats, cleats, and pants) from coworkers and from Aunt Megan. Whew baseball equipment can be expensive! Thank goodness for hand-me-downs. After leaving from Greensboro, we headed to Winston to catch Wake baseball in a double header against the Binghamton Bearcats. We saw the last four innings of the first game and then the first five innings of the second game. Wake ended up winning both games. Go Deacs!

Daddy's New Titles
Basketball season has come to an end for the Kennedys. And we loved every minute! Eli's last practice was on the 15th, and his coach planned a celebration with cupcakes and trophies. All four of us went for the last practice, and it was so cute to see Eli in his oversized jersey with his personalized trophy. A bonus for Emmy was playing with her friend Casey, who was also there for her little brother's practice. In addition to Eli's season wrapping up, the Lady Cardinals had their last game today. On the Tuesday before, we had a pizza party for the team. Coach Boomer printed certificates for everyone, even Coach Buzz. It was a sweet celebration for these girls who have grown so much over the season. At the last game, Emmy continued her strong presence on defense and her quick instinct for getting the ball. She had a key basket in the final period to take the Cardinals up by 2. In the last seconds the other team made a shot, ending the game in a tie. It was exciting! The Cardinals finished the season 5-2-1. A big thank you to Uncle Zack for so many action shots from the last game. We will certainly miss the routine of our Saturdays this winter, but with warmer weather ahead, I know our weekends will soon fill up with other activities. I'm glad that we are closing out basketball with so many good memories.
