Fourth of July!

We had the Dickens clan over for a fourth of July party.  What a beautiful day! Tom and Char brought there boat and there was plenty of tubing and water skiing for everyone.  Lobster for lunch and then lots of swimming.  Here are the cousins in attendance:

 Marty and Grampy in the kayak:

 Lizzie just started jumping off the dock today without someone to catch her, and once she got comfortable, she did it over and over and over!  This is what she calls her "star" jump.  She also does a mean cannon ball and is working on a spinny move.

Marty loved to "drive" the boat.

What a fantastic day!

Summer family day

I had some time off during the fourth of July, so we had a family day!  Another fun day at Lincolnville Beach!  Then a lobster lunch.  Great day!

Monday - Hope Elephants

In the summer, Mom, Kate, Aunts, Cousins and kids get together most Mondays for some kind of excursion.  I work most Mondays, so Ryan takes the kids when he can.  In June, they visited the hope elephants and had fun at Lincolnville Beach.

Pre-K!

Last day of school! Lizzie had a great year in pre-k.  Here she is with her teacher at the end of school program.  The morning ended with the entire class going to McDonald's play place.  This is the first Lizzie had ever heard of McDonald's, and she loved playing with her friends!  We were able to mostly avoid the food section (phew!). She had so much fun!

Early June

On early June, we had some fun putting the dock in and using Kate's new paddle board.  It is great fun to be at camp on these nice days!

4th of July fun!

Some iPad photos of our Fourth of July family day!

May

I can't believe we are already so near the end of May!  Here is a quick photo update.  We have been bowling,

 had some new hair dos (so she can have it in a bun for her dance recital),

 and had our recital!

Other than that, we have been plenty busy working on our gardens, playing outside and getting ready for the end of Lizzie's first year of pre-k!  The time is just flying by fast!
