Summer in Full Swing!!

Boy summer has been so busy that I have gotten behind on here. I had a lot of catching up to do. Ava completed two weeks of swimming lessons and now she is swimming in the deep end. She learned to swim underwater and to float on her back and her belly. We are still waiting for tennis, teeball and soccer, arts and crafts and vacation bible school to start. I guess August will be busy. I though all of these activities would be spread out throughout the summer when I signed her up for them (they are all free) but I guess the instructors procrastinated and they will be in august. We have been relaxing and enjoying summer this month though. Brendan just loves the adventures of playing in the sandbox and slides, visiting the beach, swimming and getting wet outside. Ava has been trying to capture a firefly with no luck yet. She is so close to riding her bike without training wheels. She had also been busy making fairy houses in the yard. I will have to get some pictures of them. Check out the book FAIRYHOUSES by Tracy Kane. That was Ava's inspiration. I remember making lepracaun houses at camp. I remember how excited we would get when we would check on them in the morning and see tiny footprints in the sand. (thanks to Uncle Steven)! I was thinking about sprinkling some glitter around her fairy houses one of these nights! We took a trip to the Aqua zoo and then we stopped at a nearby arcade to play some games. Brendan's favorite attraction was the coin operated carousel. Look at that smile!!Hope you are all having a great summer!!
