Pi Day

Derek's school math class celebrated "π Day" and all the students brought in goodies for a party. Derek made π cookies and came in second in the contest to see who could recite the most digits of pi. Derek had worked his way up to 200 digits at home, but messed up at 55 in the contest and got beat out by a classmate who did 70.

Derek's Artwork

One of the projects that Derek did in his school art class was selected for display in the art show at the county school offices. The show included pieces from K-12 students from all over the county. It was really impressive. Derek said that he was "kind of inspired but kind of intimidated too."

Harlem Globetrotters

Last weekend we went to see the Harlem Globetrotters at Philips Arena









It was a beautiful day to walk around Centennial Olympic Park. The SEC basketball championship game was taking place at the same time around the corner at the Georgia Dome so there was a lot of activity in the area.



After the game we ate at Mary Mac's Tea Room


It was delicious. We (mostly Adam) managed to finish the peanut butter pie, but that still left plenty of leftovers for later.
