Lily finished up a week of Habitat Hikers nature camp and began a week of Native Americans nature camp - she goes on lots of hikes and goes ponding on a regular basis to find crawfish and other little creatures.
Jack finished up a week of Under the Sea camp where he got to pet a sand shark and hermit crab, and began a week of Jungle Safari camp - the (jungle?) animals visit on Thursday!
On Wednesday, Lily had her final (regular) B meet - she swam freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke - she is getting more confident and LOVES breaststroke (like her Mom) but we still need to get her kick legal. Lily had a big cheering squad this week - Grandma Gail, Grandpa Tom, Grandpa Maurice, Aunt Tracy, and of course Jack who sat as close to the pool without going in - he is so ready to be a Little Devil!
We had a nice weekend at home and got lots done around the house, including some wall hangings and more organizing - the house is slowly coming together. We went to the driving range on Saturday where the kids got to try out their new golf clubs (courtesy of Aunt Donna & Uncle Stephen) - Jack swings like a baseball bat and when I tried to correct him he stated that he already knew how to play. ;) Lily's drive is pretty good, we expect big things after her golf camp next week! Lily had her friend Hayley sleepover on Saturday for a final goodbye as she is moving to Massachusetts in a few weeks - another excuse to head north for a visit with friends/family! On Sunday, we had friends (Jen, Sarah, Purni, John, Derek, Selvan) over for a BBQ - the kids of all ages played well together, playing with all of the toys and dressing up - Jamie (8 months - lots of smiling, minimal running); Adam (22 months); Sowmya (almost 3); Jake (3.5) - the kids were thoroughly exhausted at the end of a fun evening.
Stay cool! Enjoy the pics!
Getting ready for the first race of the evening.
