It's Summertime, Summertime, Sum Sum Summertime

School's been out for a week and we've finally settled into a summertime mode. The first few days that we were home were very HOT..... all we did was sit by the pool.  It was just what we all needed to decompress.  Maddy, of course, was busy with playdates and pool parties.  She is quite the social butterfly!

Cassidy got the news that she will be going to morning kindergarten and she got the teacher she wanted.  She had to go to the doctor for her kindergarten shots.  She was a trooper!  Barely any crying.  I was so proud!

In the beginning of June, we celebrated Cassidy's fifth birthday at the local ice cream farm.  She invited four friends (all boys!) from her class and her one neighbor friend.  The kids had fun playing in the sand and looking at the animals. I think it was all Cassidy hoped for.

The following weekend was Youth Sunday at church. The girls were in a dance to the song "Let There Be Peace on Earth" (posted here).  It was put together quickly and we missed the weekend before when it was practiced. The girls did a great job picking it up that morning. They made the t-shirts they are wearing out of fabric markers.

Also in June, T-Ball and softball ended.  Both girls earned medals for the season. It was very successful.  Both teams made a lot of progress from the beginning of the season. Nice to see improvement.

Finally, we went to an event that the town library hosted called the Balloon Glow. Many people came out to see a hot air balloon lift into the sky.  At the beginning of the night, kids were allowed to run around inside the balloon as a fan propped up some of it.  Then, the kids got out and they lifted the balloon off the ground.  It was a fun event for the girls.
