I know everyone raves about the fall. The leaves changing, sweater weather, football etc. I am firmly on team SUMMER. I don't care how hot it is give me the day in the lake or pool or on the back porch without any school activities for the kids any day. This month we celebrated the 4th of July with friends and sleepovers. The girls had their final 3 camps of the summer (acting camp, scuba camp and art camp) and spend a week in Maine with their cousins. At the end of the month they got to meet their teachers and decorate their lockers.
Lily's July Update:
Lily was the most excited for the acting camp where performed Shrek the Musical. Lily was in the ensemble and played the fairy godmother. She was so upset when it was over because she really wanted it to not end. Lily asked to be signed up for an improv class with the same company so hopefully she'll get to see her friends then. This summer also marked the first time the girls flew solo up to Maine. Clara was an unaccompanied minor and Lily was a "young traveler"....which meant that for 2 hours Lily was in charge of Clara. Luckily they both made it to Maine in once piece.
Clara's July Update:
Clara was nervous but excited to get her scuba certification....especially when her instructor told them that in the quarry where they get certified there are paddle fish that can grow up to 6 feet. She saw one.....or at least we're pretty sure she did....since then she has needed a new glasses prescription. Now both the girls are certified to dive down to 30 feet. In Shrek the Musical Clara was in the ensemble and was a rooster. She had so much fun she asked to be signed up for an intro to acting class.
