Week in Pictures

We had a busy week this week.  We went to the zoo twice, had the 4th of July, Discovery Center and lunch out with Dad, and then the big North Pool on Friday.  I have learned this summer, that my children crave experiences.  While toys are lovely, they really don't play with them.  Rowan wants to go see and do things, and Isla just wants to be outside doing anything;-)  Alex even took the 5th off of work, so we were even more excited to add Dad into some of our fun.

Rowan's "thinking" face!

I ended up with several Starbucks gift cards this year from my students.  We treated the kids to some Strawberries and Cream, and they DEVOURED it!  Do you see Isla looking at Rowan's~

Isla and I before church on Sunday!

Alex built Rowan a desk so he can work on his ABCs on the computer.  I still need to paint it, but he loves it!

Rowan has been working through an ABC book this summer. We are working on letter "K."  He can currently write his name out!  I can't take the credit for that, though.  That was totally Mr. Troy!

The kids played in the pool!

Sweet girl!

Ornery Boy!

Isla wore a tutu one day!

I roasted beats for the first time ever.  It was interesting!

Alex went with us to the Discovery Center.

Our big guy!

The tire course!

Rowan was dipping his apples in ketchup at lunch-GROSS!

Notice Isla's foot on the dinner table!  She eats like this.  It certainly doesn't look comfortable.

The police car provided a good entertaining hour for Mom one morning.

We went to the zoo with Grandma and Grandpa on Saturday.  Rowan was showing Grandma the ropes of the playground.

Pure delight as Grandpa caught Isla at the bottom of the slide!

The penguins were SWIMMING! 

Isla petting the kitty;-)

Feeding the goats!
