Paige and Daphne had a joint 5th and 3rd birthday party at the beginning of August. It was held at a play place with a really large indoor playground set, plus a toddler set, and an area for snacks/cake. It was inexpensive, indestructible, and fun! We ended up having 24 (I think?) of their friends, including siblings, there. Couldn't have asked for anything better!</div>

Russell and Meredith took 4 fishing classes over the summer, together with some of their CC friends. Each class taught them fishing techniques, as well as the types of fish that live in Jordan Lake. By the last session, Russell was doing everything himself, from baiting to casting to taking his fish off the hook. Meredith preferred to do only the fishing part :) But they both loved it and had a great time with their dad and their friends!</div>

Hot-natured, as always. 90% of the time at home, his shirt is off.</div>

Currently growing his hair out "to look like an 80s rocker."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Always saves Meredith a seat next to him in Sunday school. (His teacher just told me this last night!)</div>

We finished our school year in May - woo hoo! The kids did a great job on their end-of-year testing, and for the last day of pre-k, 1st, and 2nd grades, they each made a summer bucket list. Now that we're in July, we've done most of the things they wrote on the lists: biking, ice cream, going to the movies, cousin/grandparent sleepovers, s'mores. The only things left is a beach trip :)</div>

Meredith and Russell loved their Keepers of the Faith and Royal Rangers groups this school year! They are scouting groups that our church hosts twice a month. They've learned all sorts of things, from sewing, gardening, and baking (Keepers) to knot-tying, chess, and safety (Rangers).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In May, the groups had a combined Pinewood Derby. There was also an "open" category that anyone could enter, so Paige designed a car too.</div>

If you can't hear us<br />
We'll shout a little louder!<br />
<br />
Our summer has been commandeered by swim team events, and we like it! Practice is for an hour each day, M-F, except for meets, which are on Tuesdays and last no less than 5 hours. Monday nights after practice we have Pasta Pump-Up, which is a potluck meal for all swim team families, with pasta, pizza, salads, fruit, and desserts.<br />
<br />
Paige is on the Sunfish team (a team for 4-6 year olds who aren't quite ready for the "real" team), and Russell and Meredith are on the 7-8 year old team.<br />
<br />
The swim team kick-off was a Cinco de Mayo breakfast - yummy!<br />

We stayed from 9 am to 9 pm; no one complained; everyone enjoyed all of it - even Daphne, who didn't have a nap, hardly fussed. The favorite rides were declared to be the Barnstormer and Space Mountain (by Russell and Meredith) and Dumbo (by Paige and Daphne). Everyone got a souvenir or two. It was hot, but not as humid as Legoland was. </span></span><br />

It was a great mix.<br />
<br />
Monday, we got to Legoland very close to opening time (9 am) and stayed until it closed at 5. It was a hot, muggy day, but the kids were troopers and we all had a great time! Poor Paige was very sensitive and nervous on a couple of the rides - this is when we determined that rollercoasters are not for her, at least not yet! She went on one coaster here at was yelling, "It's too fast! I want to get off!"<br />
<br />
40 minute drive from Old Key West to Legoland - worth it considering the amazing homeschool discount we got on the tickets!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Meredith had a fun and casual birthday this year! On her actual birthday, we went to church, took her to Panera for lunch (her choice), had our neighbors over in the afternoon. She got 4 books from her favorite book series, a swim cover-up, a beach mat from Aunt Nancy, and presents from Paw Paw too. (We also celebrated the next week with family in Disney World :))</div>

It always seems to come so quickly! We celebrated with a hot dog/Americana themed potluck, certificates and awards, and a field day. So fun! Our director, Kirstie, gifted me with a CC-themed necklace for serving as a sub for the year, which was so thoughtful.<br />
