June Activities

Meredith, Jonah and Asher came over to visit one day in June.  The kids in the pool. 

The kids swam again on the DAC swim team.  Caden diving.

Annabelle diving.

Annabelle with a few friends.

Laura spent a weekend down outside Austin with some tennis friends.

Hot Springs, Arkansas

 

We just started a new project to finish out the space over the garage.  They told us that they may need to turn our power off for 48 hours to clean up some wires.  We decided to head out of town for a few days.  Ready to head out of town.

We stopped in Washington to see Historic Washington State Park.

What is supposed to be the largest Magnolia tree in Arkansas.

Down the street from the tree, we found Jolly's Cafe.  Sadly, it was closed.

We hiked up to the Hot Springs Mountain Tower.  A pic from the top of the Hot Springs Mountain Tower.

Bear was excited to hike.  He was leading the way.

We walked down bath house row.  We enjoyed seeing the bath house that is now a museum.

An example of what ladies would wear to exercise in at the turn of the century.

The exercise room on the top floor of the bath house was the best west of the Mississippi.

Bear enjoyed being along for the ride.

We headed to Lake Catherine State Park one day to hike.

Bear wasn't too sure about the swimming hole.

Annabelle's June Ballet Performance - Coppelia

 This was Annabelle's first year to perform in the big girl ballet production.  They performed Coppelia.  Annabelle was La Travail in Act 3.  I was backstage mom.

Start of Summer

 Baseball season is concluding.  They still move positions quite a bit, but Caden mostly plays pitcher, catcher, or short stop.  I finally snapped a few pics in the last game of the season.

I purchased some pool toys this week.  It took a solid 30-45 min to pump that tiger up with a hand pump.  Bear is terrified of it.  He's been barking like crazy at it, so we have to store it around the side of the house when the kids aren't using it.

Annabelle had another auction party with the girls in her grade.  A mom of one of her classmates, owns a wholesale toy company.  So she hosted a party at her shop at the Trade Center.
