Summertime

Summer is off to a hot and sticky start! We aren't complaining, mind you. Peyton started her swim lessons and is doing a stellar job. She jumps off the diving board all by herself!!! She also learned how to tie her shoe this week. Yeah, Peyton!!! That means that she is officially a "big girl." Kali is busy getting ready for her Tae Kwon Do color belt test - purple, I think. Add that to ballet and tap classes and her 1st week of vacation was full of fun. Next week she will be doing the Creative Challenge camp at Miller South (her new school) every day from 8:30 - 2:30. She's really excited. The following week she will be at her 1st ever CYO overnight camp. She's already packed and ready to go. I went to Camp Christopher overnight when I was little and have very fond memories of it. I hope Kali has the same positive experiences that I did. We will miss her, though.

We spent a glorious Saturday afternoon in Cleveland. University Circle had the "Parade the Circle" festival and both kids thought it was awesome. They watched the parade, made some rain sticks and played in the Art Museum fountain. We capped the adventure off in Coventry at bd's Mongolian Barbeque. Yummy! What a great summer afternoon!
