I said I'd never drive a . . . .

Mini-Van but I am! We needed to find a new car as our Honda Pilot was getting old and had some issues lately. Rather than put more money into that car we knew it was time to get something newer. Unforunately, newer Pilots are soo expensive compared to the price of the vans. Not to mention the van has so much more space than the pilot. So, we did it. We officially became old.

Carter learned to swim

Even though she didn't really have swim lessons yet this year she decided she needed to learn to swim on her own. She just took off!

Out for pizza!

 A local pizza placed from Charlottesville opened up around us, so we decided to see if it was just as good as Dan remembered! It was! I had avocado, tomato and feta pizza that was delicious!

YUM

Minature golf

Sean has been asking to go to play miniature golf for a while and we were finally able to go. Carter lost interest after a few holes but Sean kept trying the whole time. They had a good time and that might have been the quickest game of golf ever!

Playdate with the girls

Since Sean was at sports camp we were able to meet some of Carter's friends for a playdate at the park (in the shade!). After a few minutes the girls warmed up to each other and had fun playing.

Sports Camp

Last year I had to bribe Sean with a slurpee to attend the sports camp at Dan's school. This year, he has been asking about it for weeks! The first day he was so excited to get started. He loved every minute of it! He attended Monday-Thurs 8:30-12 and then he would go to swim practice in the afternoon. He would fall asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow at 8 pm every night!

Craft time

We had some overcast cool weather which meant going to the pool wasn't an option. We decided to go to the local craft store and see what we could find. We got all sorts of fun, easy crafts to do and did a couple today! The kids really enjoyed creating their masks and their wands.

Father's Day

After Dan went golfing with his friends, we had a nice dinner outside on the deck and then stayed up late to catch some fireflies. The kids had a blast staying up late and catching as many fireflies as they could!

The Last day of school!

We were all excited about the last day of school in this house (even though I have to work next week and Dan does too with his dad). I decided to interview the kids to document this moment. Here are their words of wisdom...ha ha

The bus stop crew!

Last time on the bus for a while!

Just got off the bus and enjoying some ice cream!

Swim Lessons for Carter

 Carter started "summer camp" at her school this last week before summer begins for her. She has loved every minute of time in the pool for swim lessons. Here are a few of the pics they sent me. She is so brave at the pool now I cannot take my eyes off of her for a second because she is either jumping in or going under water!

End of year Ice Cream Party

Sean's class had an ice cream party to celebrate the end of the year. I was able to sneak away from school for a few minutes to help out and see Sean and his class. He is going to miss his teacher and his classmates. He has had such a wonderful year but I am sure there are more great memories to come!
