Cousin Linley's 5th birthday party

Cousin Linley (Beth's step-sister Kelly's daughter) had her 5th birthday party and we happened to be in town to attend!  Kelly had craft tables set up, games, a piñata, delicious food and of course cake!  Aiden & Maura had a great time!

Aiden @ theater camp

Aiden went to theater camp again this summer at the Springer Opera House, and loved it!  He jumped up and raised his hand to try and be first when the leaders (teens helping out) asked, and really got involved with every scene they performed.  I was so proud!

Last day of Kindergarten!

School's out for summer!  They had a 1/2 day today and the parents were invited to "clap-out" the students as they left the school.  They brought out a speaker and played fun music as they all filed out the front doors!  Now, to try and keep busy for the next couple of months...

No idea why the head tilt - but he certainly needs a hair cut!

First day at the pool!

Hooray for summer!  Although Aiden has a few more days of school left, the neighborhood pools officially opened today!  It was a beautiful day, and of course it was crowded, but the kiddos had a great time anyway!  They played on the playground by the pool afterward, which helped dry them off before the drive home.

 

Love!

My favorite aspect of this pool.  I feel like I could be at the beach...ahhh.



Swing!

Slide!
