4th of July

We started our day out at the church for a pancake breakfast.

It's become a tradition to take our scooters and ride they around the parking lot.

Aunika and I were thinking alike.

We were lucky enough to have Porter and Carol with us for the holiday.

In the afternoon we headed out to my moms home town for a parade. My grandpa was being honored as a Grand Marshall.

Lydia recited the Pledge of Allegiance while waiting for the parade to start.

It was a small town parade but the kids loved all the candy.

We spent the rest of the day at a family party and swimming at Waterhaven.

Ice Cream on the 4th

Shelly and Chad made Ice Cream at our family party. It was so yummy.

Clair was such a good helper.

She throughly enjoyed the fruits of her labor.

I think we all did.

Dance Program

Lydia had her dance program a few weeks ago. She did a great job. She knew the entire routine better than anyone even though we missed the last 4 weeks of class.

She danced to a song about brushing your teeth.

Can you tell she thinks she's something special.

Lydia really likes to dance especially in public. If there is any kind of music in public, she'll put on a show. We've had a lot of comments that, her dance lessons have paid off. I don't think it has anything to do with lessons, the girl just likes to dance.

p.s. we are looking into a new program. Does anyone know of a good one in the SL area. She says she want to do just ballet, but I don't know if she really has the attention span.
