Summer......
Playing with their new bubble blowers....Thinking it is super funny to point them right at each other.....
We are enjoying summer and keeping really busy! We've enjoyed some time at Kelley's Island, Vacation Bible School, Nature Day Camp, Movie Day, Storyhour, Father's Day, and LOTS of time playing outside. I have plenty to blog about but not plenty of time to blog.
Hoping to get back this week with more posts.....
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!!!!

THE Recital
Lily finished up her season of ballet with 2 beautiful recitals!
It was HOTTER than ever... 89 degrees outside..... a/c in the auditorium broken.... a big audience...... tired kids... tired parents.... 2 rehearsals that went later than Lily's bedtime......same 2.5 hour performance 2 days in a row....
If I sound like I am complaining I am not.... just painting a picture.....
BUT........
When she got on stage with her class she really performed! I was in tears from the moment she went on stage..... We are all SOOOOO proud of our little dancer (including Ty... he even told her so)!!!!!! She did all of her steps and did them so well.... so graceful. Some of her classmates were watching her to see what the next step was.
All of the students performed in the finale. For the big finale they partnered Lily's age group with an older girl. Lily was thrilled about that .... she loves older girls... and her partner was not only an amazing dancer she was so sweet and took such good care of Lily.
Lily took home a performance trophy (all of the dancers receive them) which she is VERY proud of. Ty was warned NEVER to touch it. He has attempted to touch the far out of reach trophy but realized quickly that was the worst idea ever.
(I keep meaning to take a photo of that most important trophy... will do that soon)
SO what comes next for our little dancer.... she wants to take tap dancing next season and can't wait to get her clack clack shoes. Ty thought he wanted to take tap with her but seems to be changing his mind.
HIS REASON.... Mom, too many girls in tap dance class......
