    An extremely lucky 13 feared not the Ides of March. According to the kids in the kiddie pool on Patterson, here is the route.

    Up the hill to the main entrance and take a right up to Three Chopt. It’s always fun starting straight up hill. Take a right on the access road.

    4s take a left on St Chris. 5s/6s take a left on Grove and then Granite and Lexington respectively. Everyone takes their cut through street to Patterson and then take a left. Head west to Honaker and another left to pick up Boatwright and descend snake hill.

    Past the Robins center, across the parking lot and down to the lake for a lap, before finishing at the AO.

  • DaVinci’s Chili

    On the menu was a bunch of different types of delicious foods. To start off, the main course was homemade chicken chili – made with lots of healthy and fresh vegetables, including tomatoes, a variety of types of beans, corn, and peppers. This tasty, flavorful recipe has been in our family for years, and it is a favorite at many family events. To go with the chili, there was also fluffy, buttery Italian bread. We also packed many toppings for them, including sour cream, shredded cheese, hot sauce. For dessert, we made crispy, delicate brownies. And to drink, there was lemonade and sweet tea.
