All Horse Parade

We were thrilled to run into Nova and her family at the All Horse Parade. Emerson loved it and mimicked sounds as he played with toy horses. The girls were glad the Berlin Bears took part.

Cousins' Camping 2019

We had a great time at Cousins' Camping despite some rain. We had a record 4 dogs with us at D10 and D25 at Indian Lake State Park Campground. Sheilah came for the first time. The older kids got to enjoy the new in-ground pool. We improvised and had Sunday lunch at the shelter house at Pirates Cove. Because more rain was headed our way, we packed up and headed out, missing the Ring of Fire.

Emerson stayed one night in the tent. He woke around 3 am and said he wanted to go home. "All done tent." He did, however, like playing with Brodie, Baylor, and Noah! They rode the trike and motorcycle, pushed a doll stroller, and played with cars.

The girls had fun with both the little and big kids. We made it to the playground several times. On the last day, the older kids tried dying shirts and washcloths with Michelle.

Cosi - Jim Henson Exhibit

We made it to Cosi in time to see the mythical creatures, dinosaurs, and Jim Henson exhibits.

Fish, Round 2

Well, the unthinkable happened, and we went for another round of fish. This time Kit opted for glo-fish.

Winnie's 2nd Year of Piano Lessons

Winnie began her second year of piano lessons with Ms. Alexandra. I'm going to be sad when the box goes away.

First Day of School

Hard to believe it, but off to third and fifth grades they go!

Open House

 

We stopped by the school to meet teachers and drop off supplies. At long last, Kit has her own locker. She practiced the combination until she could open the locker with confidence - with her loyal sidekick there for yet another first.

Zoombezi Bay

We all had a blast at Zoombezi Bay! Before we left, the girls rode down a huge water slide.

Swim Lessons with Emerson

This boy (and his mommy) loves swim lessons!

Girl Fun

We went on a Target run and discovered a St. Ives party bus in the parking lot. We had fun testing a new product and using the photo opps.

Take Your Child to Work Day

This morning the girls found out who they have for 3rd and 5th grades: Mrs. Pomeroy and Mrs. Wagner. They were so happy! Then, they got to go to work with me and learn about supporting individuals with disabilities. Both girls enjoyed playing wheelchair basketball.

Guppies

Look who got some guppies!

Boating at Alum Creek

A beautiful day to go on Grandpa's boat! Kit couldn't get enough of the raft. Winnie discovered she could blow water up the noodle. Emerson did a little skinny dipping.
