Summer has Started for us

We were finally able to participate in some fun activities this week and we were around people and friends.

The kids had Olympic camp on Monday and Wednesday. The younger ones had camp from 9:00-12:00 and the bigger ones had camp from 12:15-3:15. We started our morning very early because the drive was a ways away and it was through rush hour traffic (thank goodness for the carpool lanes). We had breakfast on the go and a packed lunch. KC and Joshlynn worked on reading and writing during the morning camp and we ran errands during the afternoon camp. Fun was had by all and we go back for beach game camp in August.

Jami, Sam and Zoe's favorite part was when the coach sat in a tube circle and the kids said "what time is it Mrs. Olympian?" and coach replies with" It is time for all of my Olympian medalists to ...." and she would give them something to do around her like hop or run.

KC and Joshlynn had fun just being in the open gym and climbing ropes and jumping and balancing. They played a lot of team games and learned about some of the Olympic games. KC had the opportunity to fill in for one of the coaches in a demonstration. He felt so big doing so.

The camps are held at Linda's work. Thanks Linda for working at an wonderful place for my kids to go.

The pictures aren't great because the lighting is very bad in the building.




Next we were all able to go to the library and participate in the summer reading program. For each book or hour the kids read the are rewarded with knowledge and prizes. We attend story time, do a craft, pick out books and play games and puzzles.

Zoe believes in the quiet rule at the library ans was telling her siblings to SHHHHHHHHHHHH! It was a very loud SHHHHHHHHHHH and was heard on the other side of the library but she was making her point and they all settled down.

We are very happy to be out and about. We had friends over on the days we were home and swam a lot. The Knights are back and in Action.

Yeah! Looks and sounds like lots of fun and very tiring, hopefully everyone was more than willing to go to bed at the end of the day. Way to go Janette you are a trooper.
