More summer fun
It feels like we haven't done much the last month because I haven't been feeling good but going through my pictures I realize quite a bit has happened. July 27th Natalie went to see Wall-E for her friend Rhiannon's birthday and got to ride in a stretch hummer! So much fun for the kids. Matt & Natalie went to vacation bible school at my friend Tanya's church the last week of July and had a performance on Friday. They sang songs they had learned throughout the week. They go every summer and enjoy it. August 8th Natalie went to her friend Valerie's party and sleep over. The kids played in the water and had lots of fun. I had a great time especially watching Valerie's mom and Matthew have a water fight. The kids took swim lessons at the Y August 4th thru the 14th. Matthew is a fish in the water but has to practice doing the proper swim techniques. Natalie has always had a great fear of the water but for the last couple of years has become more comfortable through swim lessons at the Y. These two weeks Natalie really progressed and I was so proud of her. She was swimming on her own with her face in the water, floating and even swimming good on her back! She told me she wants to be in the next session of swim lessons.
Natalie loves gymnastics also. She told me in the spring she wanted to take gymnastics over the summer but with me going to Florida I didn't want to sign them up for a bunch of stuff. When I got back it was too late but I did find a week long camp she could go to. She enjoyed it and even got a ribbon for participating. August 16th we went to Matt's cub scout pool party. The 17th we took the kids to the child fair that they have every year. There is lots for the kids to do and it's all free! For 1 week a local museum was free to residents so we went a few times. The first time was August 20th and the kids checked out the candy exhibit. They had the most popular candies through the years in tubes. I know I was ready for some candy after being there awhile. We took Daddy back on the 23rd. We looked at the planes and stuff they also have. Jeremy had never been there so he enjoyed it. I hope the kids enjoyed their summer, I feel guilty I didn't do with them what I usually do because of how I have felt. Maybe in a couple more weeks I won't have this nausea anymore and won't be so tired and we can spend some quality weekends together. I'm sad summers over already.
