Swim Lessons

 

The girls did great in swim lessons this year. Lucy was always dolphin diving in and out of the water while she was waiting, and Lydia wouldn't keep her head out of the water. She would practically body slam herself into the pool!

They were really fun to watch!

Collier camp out

 

These pictures were from the games we played. It was a blast!

Now about the "camping" part. The Mathis family didn't do much of that. We actually just drove up early that morning, and left Miles home with Mike. We were party poopers, but I'd rather not have to wrestle with a crabby tired baby that wants to get down and crawl around in the mud. So with home at home me and the girls had fun. I rained all through our pancake breakfast, but was cleared up in time to play games and go swimming later!

new summer dresses!

Here's the family.

 

LAGOON

the Zoo!

 

We had a great time at the zoo. Their new exhibits were really fun. The girls could have stayed and watched the river otters and the seals ALL day! Miles, however, didn't love it...it was hot, he was confined to the stroller, and he didn't get any naps. But he did good despite it all!

Pre-School

This year we did preschool with my friend Miriam's daughter Anna who is Lydia's age. It was alot of fun. I had fun thinking of all sorts of crafts for the girls to do, and the kids had fun with all our activities. Every day we would check the weather, say the rules, and then...Dance! I think they liked that part the best. I'd turn on a kids song that went with the lesson, and the girls went wild!

We went to the fire station, the bread factory, we played pin the lips on the frog on princess day, we had a "T" party on letter T day, grew and decorated plant people, and so much more. (not to mention the addition of a baby one month into it!) For the last day we went to the Tree House Museum. It was great!
