Summer Activities

Although we have a short summer break due to the modified year round schedule we still try to do fun things.  We have enjoyed free programs at the public libraries. The first 3 pictures are of a monarch butterfly show.

 We also went to a puppet show of the Tortoise and the Hare/ Bald eagle presentation. A couple that we did that I didn't have my camera for were, Diamondback organist and Baxter / and Lego club. 

The kids also worked hard to earn marbles by helping out with chores, doing some deep cleaning, being kind to each other etc.  At the end of a few weeks they had earned enough marbles to have a family fun day.  We went to see the movie Brave.

Then we went to skateland.  This is how Amanda usually spends her time at Skateland.

 Natalie prefers to sit at the arcades and "play"

 Nathan and Taylor like to skate.

Later Natalie decided to skate and Nathan was taking her around the rink.  It is a blurry picture but I love the moment it captured of Nathan checking on Natalie while she looks up to her big brother.

 

Ready for the cha cha slide.
