June Fun, Part 2

The boys spent a week in June in Weatherford with Grandma and Grandpa. They got to attend Camp Invention and had a great week! I took advantage of a week with just my girls, and we did some fun things too. 

The girls attended a dance camp each morning, and in the afternoons we planned a few fun things. We went shopping one afternnon.

They put on a lot of dance and gymnastics shows during the week.

We also watched a couple of girly movies the boys wouldn't have been interested in. 

They had picture day at dance camp and wore their Mighty Shrimp Cheerleader costumes, since it was a Zombies and Descendants camp. 

We scheduled a couple of playdates with our favorite all girl families- The Ivy's and the Miller's.

I also treated them to lunch out at one of their favorite restaurants and a pedicure (Katherine's first) after camp one day. 

Elisabeth looks so old to me in this picture! She's growing up to be the sweetest girl. Such a joy to be her mom. 

Katherine was a little wiggly, but she loved the girly fun- especially picking out her nail polish and getting a flower on her toes. 

All our girly fun wore her out, so we snuggled up for a nap one afternoon. 

On the last day of camp, the girls had their parent performances and got to pose with characters from Descendants and Zombies. 

Katherine danced to Do it Like the Zombies Do and sang and danced to What's My Name. They were so cute! Her personality really shines when she's performing. 

She was supposed to do a zombie pose at the beginning of her dance. This is what she showed me when I asked her to pose. 

Elisabeth danced to Rotten to the Core, Bam and sang If Only. She was so excited to perform. I loved that she was doing a villain song about being bad and she couldn't stop smiling through the whole dance. She loved the fun moves she got to do. 

Dance camp is most fun with friends! These girls had a great week together. 

We celebrated the end of dance camp/girls week with lunch at Chick Fil A.

Meanwhile, the boys were having a blast in Weatherford. They had a fun week!

 We picked up the boys in Edmond on Saturday morning and spent a few hours at Frontier City. We've gotten our money's worth out of our season passes. 

The kids asked to watch the Wild West show and they thought it was the best- especially getting splashed at the end. They even asked to pose with the performers. 

Between camps, work schedules and other conflicts, we've had a harder time getting together with the Shondelmyer's this summer. But we finally got to have a pool day, and it was wonderful!   So fun to catch up and visit while the kids swam all afternoon. 

The kids watched the gymnastics Olympic trials with me. They kept saying, "Oh, I can do that trick," ha!! It will be fun watching the Olympics with them this year!

Katherine is such an affectionate Sweetheart. She requires multiple hugs and kisses at every goodbye. She does this every week at church. The boys are so sweet and patient with her. 

Nathan had back to back camps because the last week of June he participated in a Hamilton Theater Arts camp. He's been a big fan of Hamilton for awhile (well at least the parts we let him watch/listen to, ha!), and he's been waiting to finally be ten years old and able to do the production camp where they do a whole (mini) show instead of just a song or two. His group worked hard and my boy had those (censored) Hamilton lyrics down! I was super impressed with their show and how they were able to perform so well (singing, dancing, speaking) with only 15 hours of camp. I also told Nathan he couldn't do Hamilton again next year because I cannot get those songs out of my head now, ha!

Of course, Samuel would bring a book to read before his show started. 

The girls were excited to watch Nay Nay and to see the groups before him performing songs from Annie. 

Of course, Summer time means lots of pool time. As the kids get older, our time at the pool increases.

It's always a treat when we meet the neighbors at the pool!

Our June was full of camps- VBS, Camp Invention, Dance camp, Theater Arts camp, whew. In between we squeezed in as much friend and pool time as we could. It was busy and fun! We can't wait for July.
