Beach days/First Grade

Last week the kids and I had a fun day at the beach with my friend April. We also played at the park with our new neighbors Dylan who is Grace's age and Kevin who is a year older. Today Gracee started 1st grade. She had a great day!

Summer

Lately we have enjoyed getting together with old friends. Some are from high school, others from Cali. We have made plans to get together with more families over the next few weeks. The kids did a month of swimming lessons....16 sessions each. They learned so much and are becoming great swimmers. We also go to the pool 2-3 times a week for fun, which is helping them learn more. School starts for Gracee on Aug 11th. Evan starts preschool a month later. Gracee is also signed up to take ballet, and we are finding an activity for Evan since football was cancelled for the season. We have been blessed with wonderful new neighbors, and they have young kids, which has been fun for Gracee and Evan.

LegoLand

Today we visited Legoland for the first time. It was a blast. It was neat to see so many things made of Legos. It was perfect for our kids age and maybe until the age of 9 or 10. We had a great day as a family and Evan was sad we had to go, but of course he was asleep within five minutes of leaving the park. Our passes are good for another day of fun within the next 90 days so we will make a trip out there again.
