April dates

Corban and Daddy got a quick sushi dinner at Whole Foods together and then went to see
To Kill a Mockingbird play at Broward Center!

Daddy brought Abigail to her dance classes at MCB on a Saturday.  After her classes, they went to "This is How I Dance" event at the Miami Beach library and saw examples of various types of ethnic dances.

Mommy brought Hadassah to Macy Sherman's birthday party - the girls did a room escape together and then had ice cream!

Mommy and Asher went to see the new Mario Bros. movie in the theatre!  Asher had given Mommy a movie date as a birthday gift and it was so much fun to have a movie we could go see together!

April school

Corban led the Leadership presentation at Civil Air Patrol!

He also found out that he received Gold Summa cum Laude (90% or higher) on the National Latin III Exam!

Spring Sailing Banquet

Hadassah and Asher sailing in the Street Art Regatta at LYC.  The sails were each hand painted and available for purchase.

Hadassah will be moving up to Championship Fleet!  With her Coach's recommendation and help, we bought an Opti boat!  She hasn't gotten to sail it yet, but is super excited and the boat is in excellent condition (previously owned but only used a few times).

April showers...flooding

A historic rainfall event on April 12 brought 25 inches of rain in less than 24 hours to the Fort Lauderdale area, resulting in much flooding.  We were safe and no damage to our home, but the water came into our garage all the way to the back door of our house.

Two days later, the rain had stopped, flooding had gone down, and forecast looked clear for the rest of day, so Mommy drove Abigail to MCB for dance.  Just as we arrived, Daddy called to say that it had started pouring and the street was completely flooded again (there was nowhere for water to drain/run off too because of the earlier rain).  That night we were not able to get home because of the flooded roads through our neighborhood!  We stayed at a local hotel for the night and then returned safely home the next day!

(by end of year, Fort Lauderdale was named the "Wettest City" in the nation with over 100 inches of rain for 2023!)
