[thursday and friday]

Thursday afternoon: dance class for Keatin. :) Josh happened to have the afternoon off work, so "just the girls" were able to go for the first class of the summer. I sat in and watched...but have a feeling that I will be playing in the hallway with Mr. Will the rest of the classes. :) Keatin did a great job listening to her teachers...she just looked so old and like such a learner. I loved watching her doing something that I spent so many years loving myself.

Thursday evening: Tune Into Main on Main Street in Ames. They have live music, you picnic on the grass, and there are kids-friendly activities like a jump house and sidewalk chalk/paint/bubbles. We went a lot last year, and this was the first session of Summer 2012. Keatin and Will both LOVED the jump house and spent lots of time drawing on the cement with chalk/paint

 

Friday morning: Peterson Pit fun for Keatin, Will, and Mommy. Peterson Pit is just north of Ames...it is a very small lake with lots of sand for the kids to play in. Will was fearless and had to be watched very closely for fear he would just run out into the deep water. Keatin had a blast building sand castles and "swimming." Before kids, Crimson and I would spend HOURS at the pit...reading, sniffing around for other animals, and soaking in the sun. It was great to be back, with my 2 favorite companions. :)

Have a happy weekend!
