Lizzy and I decided to brave Cracker Barrell on a late Sunday morning. Rookie mistake! After an hour wait, we finally had our table.

After our brunch, we headed to Rachel’s 8th birthday party. It was SO MUCH FUN! There was much physical activity.

Lizzy often texts us through the day from her school iPad. On occasion, we are treated with photos.

It seemed a good idea to bring the reading tent up from the basement, and populate it with stuffed animals.

Liz and I had just watched Napoleon Dynamite the day prior. As my skirt was hanging up in the bathroom, she noticed how it resembled Napoleon’s drawing of Trisha. She was exactly right!

Liz has been wanting to watch Deadpool for a long time, but of course it’s wildly inappropriate for a 7 year old. Until Once Upon A Deadpool! We bought tickets to opening night. She borrowed one of Dad’s Deadpool masks, and wore it during the whole movie. SHE LOVED IT!

Assistant Principal for the day, Miss Mac, had a wonderful day! She started the day with bus duty, went to every single classroom to ensure they all had an evacuation map, supervised lunch, and hung out in “her” office.

We had sushi for dinner, and she ordered tuna rolls (her favorite.) It came out so beautiful, she had to take a photo!

A fun VR place opened nearby. While we have a VR headset at home, this place has hundreds of games to choose from. She had so much fun!

Time for one of Lizzy’s favorite nights of the year, Math and Science night at school.
Maas in prior years, we were there from open to close. And as before, we kept returning to the National Weather Service room to play with their van der graff machine (endlessly.). The meteorologists remembered Lizzy from the years before, and we chatted for a bit before they invited us to visit the NWS office for a private tour. We’ll have that to look forward to soon!

We had a dinner planned with a group from a podcast we listen to at a lovely steakhouse. After a wonderful meal, we decided to share a rather large slice of chocolate cake.
After dinner, we headed back to the hotel for a good night's sleep before a big day Saturday.

We had decided we wanted the experience of attending a Star Wars Celebration, just so we'd know what it was like. So, here we were! After Lizzy decided she wanted to cosplay as an Ewok, Tommy decided to have some fun and be "Han Sulu."
Pre-breakfast smiles while we waited for the elevator.

We had a BIG day at the convention, spending most of the day on the show floor, getting lots of photos taken, and we did attend the Costume Competition panel. We even met one of the actors who played an Ewok.
It was a pretty fun day, which ended with dinner at Lou Malnati's for our favorite pizza!

She had another memorable day as Principal for the Day this year. Unfortunately, the Principal didn't take any photos with Liz, but it was a fun and busy day of classroom checks, lunch supervision, attending meetings, and checking for restroom cleanliness!

We made good on the invitation from Math and Science night to visit the National Weather Service! We had a very educational family field trip, learning lots about weather models, changing the forecast, and we even mocked up a tornado warning (we didn't send it out, of course!) It was a very neat day, and highly recommended for anyone who is interested in the weather and science.

Helping with the Ghost Bike booth at innovation night at the high school. She talked to lots of people about the work her class has done this year, from their tv appearance to raise awareness, to meeting the mayor, to designing road signs. She's so proud of her involvement!
Here she is speaking with the Assistant Superintendent.
