First Week of Summer 2016

Caden's last day of school was the Wednesday before Memorial Day.  As much as he loved school this year, he was ready for summer!  The first few days, we just did a lot of nothing...lots of relaxing, coloring, and swimming!

Memorial Day we walked to a carnival that was at the LH Town Center, adjacent to our neighborhood.  The kids had fun playing the games and doing art.  Annabelle going down the slide. 
 
Caden did a bean bag toss.  
 
Both kids loved the hamster ball.  This was Annabelle's first time to do it. 
 
 
Usually I cut Annabelle's hair, but it's been a little tricky lately to cut it straight.  I think I need new scissors.  Annabelle tried out a new kids salon that just opened near our house. 
 
It rained quite a bit the first week of summer.  The kids had fun splashing in puddles.

The kids went to a camp in our neighborhood with Ms Lowry; one of our old Kindermusik teachers.  This is Caden's 4th year to go to this camp, and it's Annabelle's 2nd.  They love it.  Lowry's helper does an excellent job of taking pictures to send to the parents.  Here are a few they sent.  Annabelle pretending to be a butterfly!

One of Lowry's neighbors has started a thing to raise money for Colitis & Crones Disease, where they leave a toilet in your yard, and you make a donation to remove it.  The kids thought it was pretty funny to have a potty in her yard.

We ended our week with our first pool party!   Here's a pic of the kids lined up.  Left to Right: Will Zimmerman, Caden, Jacob Murry, Ella Grace Zimmerman, Annabelle, Evelyn Murry, and Addison Overstreet.
