Spring Break from the Dexter Bows!

Spring Break for the Dexter Bows started with the Mission Impossible Gymnastics Meet on Friday April 3rd. Nikki had a good meet, with an all-around score of 35.725, placing 4th overall. She placed second on floor (9.10) and 8th on beam (8.90). She had a solid vault with a score of 9.05 and a wobble on her bars dismount resulted in a score of 8.675 (7th place).
Jenny’s Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Elkin had her last day of school. She is taking a few weeks off before her baby boy is born later this month. Jenny will miss her but is looking forward to having Mrs. Giglio in the classroom.
We flew to Cancun (via Minneapolis) on Sunday morning, arriving in Playa Del Carmen in the late afternoon. We stayed at the Riu Playacar resort. The food was awesome! Nikki loved the buffets and tried lots of new foods – she’ll eat just about anything. We all enjoyed the beach and turquoise Caribbean waters. Jenny just couldn’t get enough of the waves and spent a lot of her time body surfing and on the boogie board. Nikki and Jenny both got their hair braided. Nikki and Debby went parasailing, which was very peaceful, especially after the wild ride to the parasailing boat on the Jet Ski! Dave went SCUBA diving at Peurto Adventuras while the girls visited the dolphinarium. Nikki and Jenny loved the sea lions, manatees and the dolphins. We especially enjoyed seeing the two infant dolphins (a few days old) with their mothers. Another highlight of our trip was a tour at Hidden Worlds where we took a Jungle Buggy into the jungle and snorkeled in two Cenotes, Tak Be Ha and Hilarios’ Well. Both caves are sacred to the Mayans and are adorned with amazing stalactites and stalagmites. Our vacation and we returned Thursday via Atlanta. Looks like we missed the snow!

Paholak Family Update!

Everyone is doing well here...

David has a job offer; it's a long-term contract job and closer to home (no travel). Karen is hoping to hear from Quicken Loans after their recruiter called her on Monday. They are offering 5 weeks of training in Loan Origination. This job offers benefits too!

Tom is still working for Mead & Hunt in Lansing. He's hoping they'll offer him a full-time position (he's currently working on a temporary basis). Hayley is graduating in May, so we are excited to share the celebration with her!

Helen has an appointment with a counselor at OCC on Monday and plans to continue her education toward earning a degree in Dental Hygiene.

We're all missing Grandma and Grandpa tremendously lately.
