This summer has been a busy one! We started out with a camping trip to Lake Tawakoni State Park.
Next was the transit of Venus, which we were able to view through the cloud breaks at the Russell Planetarium in Mesquite, TX. That was also the night that C received her new bike for learning how to ride.
Next came swim lessons, VBS, more swim lessons, and a little down time with Dad and some inventing time. We also found time to practice our crawling. Look out world!
There was also a trip to the Children's Museum to listen to a violin workshop and then have a little playtime.
We've ended our summer activities with day camp at the Audie Murphy American Cotton museum.
Besides all this, we elected to continue partial piano lessons and violin lessons. Temperature wise, this summer has been great - only a few days of 100+ temps, so the temperature has nothing to do with my statement "I can't wait until summer is over!". I'm very ready for sleeping late mornings and weeks where the only activities we have planned are Bible classes/Worship, music lessons, and story time at the library!
Z had great fun with the rolly-pollies. He would let them walk all over his hands and even created a little play area for them.
N has discovered that it's fun to hand upside down. Can I make Dad's drink tip over?
Our new camping table decor. We usually take the trailer to the Star Party; this was one of the rare times we've used the trailer for camping. To celebrate, we found some mosquito repellent lights and pretty napkins for the upcoming 4th of July.

Some school work did occur over the summer. Here S is trying to contour draw without looking at her paper. She is suppose to keep her eye on the apple the whole time. We put the divider up to help keep her from looking.
Crawling!!
Swim lessons - waiting on the bigger kids to get finished with their lessons.
There was also a trip to the Children's Museum to listen to a violin workshop and then have a little playtime.
