Summer Outings 1

The kids tried their hand at basketball this summer.  Though they had a child-sized basketball, the net was still a little too far for them.  "That's OK," Caroline said, "We're the Warriors - we just dribble and pass!"  I don't know where they learn these things.

We scheduled a pre-schoolers get together at Blaze Pizza (all personal sized pizzas made-to-order taqueria style) and after it became clear that despite the general hubbub in the place, we were still louder than the surrounding ambiance, the kids took over the outdoor area.





And then into the mall for ice cream, of course!



They started swim lessons at the rec center this summer - considerably cheaper than the last two summers at the Y and so I don't get quite as annoyed when Max and Daniel don't want to participate. Caroline, on the other hand, is a fish and LOVES it.








The boys like that there's a playground outside and they can run around before and/or after being forced to swim.



One especially warm day we decided to pack up a picnic and take Wendy's dog nephew Beanie for a walk in the park.  Daniel is still a little shy of dogs in general, but Beanie is an exception.  Because we were going out with Uncle and Wendy too, the kids decided to wear the Hogwarts Quidditch shirts they brought back from visiting Harry Potter World.


Max is Team Gryffindor

Caroline is Hufflepuff

Daniel is Ravenclaw









And then there was the day Caroline decided she had to dress up for dinner with Daddy and looked just too impossibly cute not to document.
