Oh, hi! This may be the longest blogging break I have taken. Not sure what happened. I just never made time to sit and post about our random happenings! But, it's time, isn't it? Summer is already winding down (WHAT?!) and soon the first day of First Grade for Ms. Ella will be here (WOW!). So, since I'm almost 3 months behind, I'm going to recap the summer in giant clumps of randomness! Enjoy! :)
Well, we left off on June 2, Ella's big 6th birthday and her last day of kindergarten. So, the remainder of June was spent getting into a summer routine. Ella spends her days over with Sara and the group of small kiddos with her good older friend Sophie. Ella LOVES to hang out with Sophie and I am hoping she doesn't annoy her too much!! They have a blast.
Ella was in swimming lessons for a few weeks in June. We will be repeating this level again at some point. Let's just say the lessons didn't go so well. Ella was very tentative about the whole thing - didn't want to jump off the diving board, didn't want to go down the water slide, wasn't comfortable just floating on her own, etc. We're fine with it, but hopefully she will get more comfortable in the water with more lessons down the road. I was able to attend on her last day of lessons due to an earlier day rain-out and snapped a few pictures!
She refused to walk out on the board alone, so Mr. Swim Lesson Guy walked out with her and we all sort-of forced her to jump (there was another teacher in the water to catch her!)
Heading up to the water slide which she didn't want to go down either! Stinker!
On Father's Day, we headed to Whitetail Woods Regional Park to hit the trails. We thought it was going to be super awesome, but there were tons of deer flies which made it miserable walking through the woods. It was still fun to get outdoors (it didn't even seem like were were in the metro any longer) but I don't know if we'll head back anytime soon.
Look closely - Jay tried using the water bottle to protect against the deer flies?!?!
