“Oh man” (as Ada would say), summer is over and I am waaaay behind on blogging. I plan to catch up but life is busy with two kids, vacations, projects, and now starting homeschool!
Back in July we had Todd’s company picnic which is always fun. This year Ada seemed all grown up and wanted to try everything. Ruby enjoyed the petting zoo and getting to run around.
Ada had her first ever swimming lessons at the end of June. She built so much confidence in those 10 sessions and looked forward to them every morning for two weeks. She jumped off the diving board all three times, learned to kick face down in the water, and had lots of fun doing underwater summersaults while waiting by the wall. I ended up buying her goggles because she loved opening her eyes under water so much :)
Ada took part in ballet this past spring at Dancing For Joy. She enjoyed learning pre-ballet positions along with practicing for the big performance that took place in June at the Mount Baker Theatre. The show was called Narnia Excerpts, and the music and choreography were fantastic. Ada’s class had a 2 min part as the adorable “first sunlight” with glowing tutus. Ada is not sure if she will continue in ballet, but it was a fun learning experience for sure :)
One warm Saturday a few weeks ago we spent an afternoon playing by the river about half a mile from our house. The girls had fun splashing in the water and exploring the sandy trails. That night, Ada and Todd had fun camping in the backyard.
