Summer

So we haven't been great at using the blog much any more since Facebook. We're more into the instant-quick-short-pic-and-explanation! But, this summer, once again the kids wanted to do the ABC's of summer, and it's too much for FB. So I'll try to get caught up with a series of posts.

If you are interested in the past years, look up blog archives (scroll to the bottom to find A, then work your way up. I was better at blogging then), either

This year we started on June 24 with A day being Auburn Performing Arts to watch Ilea dance. This just happened to be the day they wanted to start, and there was an A in the name of the place we were going, so we were off. This is the only picture I have of her in her costume. It was at her practice. She did a great job at her performance though!

B day was Bubbles and Biking. They had fun with both, although Kyler likes to bike more than Ilea. Her seat wasn't adjusted from last year, and it was pretty short at first. Kipp fixed it and it was better.

C day was Cake and settles of Catan, a great game Kipp got a year or two ago. It was actually a pleasant day outside, and we played in the backyard. Kipp always wins, so it was nice not to have him home! I finally won, but it was a close game. We need to get an expansion pack so that more than 4 people can play. The kids made a spice cake with cream cheese frosting. It was delicious.
