The Royal Court has found themselves quite busy during this "Stay Home, Stay Healthy" initiative. Even though on site classes have been cancelled, on line education is busier than they ever imagined! This has definitely been a very different senior year, but each Princess has embraced this adventure with hope and gratitude, appreciating the opportunities too.
- Princess Hannah has been enjoying spending more time with her family, dancing and playing games. Learning has been especially exciting for Hannah!
- Princess Morgan is grateful for nature and having time to hike. She has also been helping to home school for a family.
- Princess Kinsey has been helping a family with childcare, completing the Running Start program at EWU which means she's mostly studying, studying and studying some more! She does find some extra snuggle time with her Golden Retriever, Sawyer.
- Princess Klaire has discovered the joy of reading just for fun while soaking up some sunshine. Her favorite author at the moment is Bob Goff.
- Princess Kylie has channeled some creativity and turned her car trunk into an at home office. She has been watching the cute doggies walk by while working on homework in her "office." She also learned how to make crepes!
- Princess Madeline has adopted baby chicks, which are named Pascal, Mozzie, Maximus, Rhino and Bert. She has also had extra time to explore her love for baking!
- Princess Katelyn finds pleasure cooking, reading, playing board games and doing yoga when she gets to take a break from school work.
We miss getting together with our Lilac Family, but feel fortunate to have weekly Zoom chats. Sometimes we don't need to talk much just "being together" is enough.
Coronation
~
currently, there is no new date for Coronation. We are waiting till new guidelines are set for social gatherings. Once there is an appropriate increase to the number of people at one time to make a Coronation 'semi-normal,' we will be scheduling that. So keep an eye out and be ready to celebrate these amazing seven young women!
