the insane world of the C's: June 2009

Ya know, you just can't have a summer without seeing Dan Wardell. For those of you who do not know him he is the Iowa Public Television kid ambassador. He goes on a reading road trip every summer where he goes to Iowa libraries and does a story hour. He is just a blast and my girls love him! Every year they come away with a little gift. This year they got kazoos. We went to Clear Lake to see him this year. Some of our good friends came with us. Then we had a picnic and played on the beack.

This is Laney with Dan Wardell. Brynn refused to get her pic taken with him.

Here is Brynn playing in the sand. We have to go back when it gets a little warmer!! It was a little chilly that day still.

Laney was making cakes on the beach.

Our next summer adventure was to the Arts festival at the art museum. Every year they have a kids day and it is always so fun. We went with our favorite summer adventure partners the Squires! We made SOOOO many projects. The girls just had a blast!

Ok so this is my favorite picture of the day. The theme of the day was fiesta and the girls could dress up and get their pictures taken. We have one with them smiling but this is their mad faces. It makes me giggle every time I look at it!! This is Sidney, Laney and Brynn.

The last thing we did that day was stand in line to get the girls faces painted. The line took an hour!!!! The girls were such troopers ( Jack too). THey just played and giggled and rolled around the whole time, waiting patiently!!! Then when we got to the front of the line Brynn didn't want her face done. So she got a heart on her hand. Sid felt the same way. Laney on the other hand got a puppy face.

Once a week we go out for lunch with our fav family. Usually it is to McDonalds. I have a pic of the three girls from last summer in this same spot. THis year though there is a new addition of Jack! We love this addition!!!

The last couple days have been sooooo hot here. We just found out that the Sheffield pool will not be opening this summer! SO SAD!! We will have to find another plan for swimming lessons. But we did set up our pool. Not to big but just perfect for our little non swimmers. These are a couple pics of my little fishies!!!! The water looks brown in this pic but it really isn't!
