We are having a great summer. We made a bucket list of things to do and have crossed out a few. We went to Dave and Busters and Chuck E Cheese. We dragged out the slip n slide. The kids had so much fun on it:

Also the kids got to go to the stables with Justin’s 1st grade teacher, Mrs. Ortego and her daughter Tess. They lease a  horse names Six for the summer. It was great as Tess gave them a ride on Six and even trotted. The kids had huge smiles with the trotting:

So we also went and saw the movie Turbo. Of course the kids loved it, along with Despicable 2. Both kiddos started swim lessons at Woollet and seem to be really liking it. Both kids are working hard to learn their strokes. Justin was having a little trouble with the back stroke and is improving so much. Nikki needed a little help improving her crawl stroke. So amazing to see how far they have come. The kids wanted to try a camp so through the city, they went to icamp. Nikki had so much anxiety about me leaving her but when she got there she just ran off and played. I loved hearing all about what they did and they were kept really busy. Justin said his feet hurt from standing so much. We have had lots of play dates too. Nikki is loving gymnastics so much. We have been coming to the open gym and Justin has fun playing and Nikki plays and practices. We put a rope in the backyard over the patio cover. It has been the best toy ever. The kids climb it, swing from it. I need to take some pics. When I bring my camera out the kids just run.
