Ice Skating Team Competition

At Lydia's arena where she's been taking ice skating lessons, they organized an optional team competition.  Lydia decided she wanted to be in it immediately.  Each team would have students of each level on it who would be judged on their class requirements.  The team with the highest collective score would win.

Lydia was chosen to be on the green team.  Brian took her a little early to practice with her coaches.

The rest of us came to support and cheer her on.

Green team

All the level 1 competitors for green team went on the ice at the same time.  They were required to do a front swizzle, dip, and back wiggle.

In the end, team green won!

We are so proud of how much she has learned in the last few months!

Paintball

On Saturday morning, Brian took Robbie paintballing.  They had so much fun!

 They stayed for about 4 hours and decided that they had to come back another time.

 

While the boys were gone, we had a picnic out on the lawn.

Cooking Class & the Cube

The Discovery Science Cube has cooking classes every month.  We decided to try it out this month.  We made fruit spring rolls with a yogurt dip.

The kids had fun cutting, measuring, and stirring up the ingredients.  

We put all the fruit in rice paper and then dipped it in the yogurt sauce to eat.  We all decided that we love fruit and hate rice paper..haha.  It was a great experience though and we had a lot of fun!

Afterwards we visited the main exhibit right now, DC Comics Superheros.

 

Summer Stuff

Here's a few miscellaneous things going on.

Lydia and Catherine discovered how to both ride our EZ rider at the same time.

We had a few friends hang out with us for a day.  We mostly stayed home and went to the park across the street.  The kids entertain themselves so well. 

Bath time in the big tub!

Brian found this puzzle for me a few weeks ago.  It has the book covers of 50 children's literature books.  I love it and it was so fun to put together!

Father's Day

We had a nice Father's Day!  Brian requested roast for dinner and brownie ice cream sundaes for dessert.  He works so hard for our family and we are grateful to have him!  It was also nice to talk to both grandpas on Father's Day too.  We have been blessed with amazing examples in our life.

Soak City

I took the kids to Soak City for a few hours this week.  It's been fun as they get older and can do more things on their own.  Robbie and Lydi went on some water slides while I hung out with Thomas and Catherine.
