The Start of Summer

Summer is off to a great start over here. The girls have been having fun with their nanny, Ryann. Here's some of what we've been up to the past week.

Clara really hates going to bed...I know, real shocker for someone her age! One night last week she was supposed to get ready for bed, but instead snuck an apple from the fridge and headed out to the garage to hide out talking to Dad. It sure took her a long time to eat that apple. :-/ I just hate calling the girls into the house for bed when it's so nice on these summer nights. And now finally this summer they can sleep in and I don't have to wake anyone up to be dropped off at day camp or preschool/daycare. So I find myself being more lax on bed time. 

I tried to share the face mask that my mom made for me with Brynn, but it was a little bit too big for her. hehe.

The Red River Valley Fair Association started showing drive-in movies several times per week at the fairgrounds. Brynn and I went to the live action 'Lion King' movie last Monday night. It was a beautiful night for it.

On Tuesday Ryann took the girls to the zoo. They ended up getting rained on, but I don't think they minded too much. I just now noticed this huge turtle (tortoise?) behind them in this first pic. Ha!

On Wednesday the girls went to the lake to spend a few days with Grandpa and Grandma Froemming. 

Clara video chatting with Adria on Sunday.

Last week Clara started her sports sampler program through Fargo Parks. She seemed to like it okay the first day which was baseball/t-ball. She failed to mention to me (she told Dad, though, which is how I found out) that she got a home run! 

Her enthusiasm had fizzled out already by Wednesday. (She goes just on Mondays and Wednesday). That day was supposed to be soccer. It was a bit cooler that day and Brynn reported via Ryann that she didn't participate all that much. And then Clara told me about every day thereafter how she didn't want to go back. :-(

However, Brynn tagged along today for moral sister support and that really seemed to help. Brynn kindly thought to take pictures for me. She had a lot more fun doing track and field today, so that was great news. 

Tonight Daddy and Clara took in the drive-in movie together. They were playing the live action 'Aladdin' movie this time.

Brynn and I went for a walk while they were gone. 

It sounds like tomorrow they're headed to the pool which sounds like a good day for that.
