Awards

Remember how I told you that Braden and Logan won for their essays and Steve won chapter teacher of the year! Well, we found out in mid april that Steve won for the whole state of Texas! On May 7th, we went to the Pioneer Log Cabin which is a museum for the San Jancinto chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas where the boys read their essays and all three of them received their awards. They all 3 received trophies and prize money....Logan $100, Braden $50 and Steve $500.  It was an afternoon to remember!

On May 13th, Steve and I traveled to San Antonio for the fancy dinner where he received his award for winning state...a Texas flag that flew over the Alamo on March 2, 2011, $500, a medal, and $500 for Mittelstadt. The people there treated us like royalty. We stayed at the Crowne Plaza hotel on the Riverwalk and enjoyed walking around and eating in San Antonio.
