Happy Campers

The kids (and their friend Camden) have been going to these fantastic camps this summer at Nolan's preschool, Woodinville Country Dayschool.  They have learned to be scientists, athletes, gone through Jedi training, become superhero's.  Each week had a different theme and they learned a song related to that week.  Camp just ended and they had an end of Summer BBQ where the kids sang all the songs they learned at camp.  It was REALLY cute!!!!!!!  I'm looking forward for Nolan to be part of this school for preschool. 

Happy Campers!

Superhero's!

Getting ready to sing camp songs!

Waterslides!  

Graduation

Today Keaton's preschool (The Andover School) had a graduation party for the Pre-K class.  These kids will be going to Kindergarden in a few weeks.  We were all super excited to go and Keaton asked about it all day but when we got there he spent most of the party hiding behind me.  I think he was shy because he knew the kids but he hadn't seen them in months (since he stopped going to the school in June after we moved).  Each month the kids write a few sentences about something they've learned that month and then draw a picture.  Example: "My favorite thing to do in the Winter is.......". The teachers save these and put them into a book to give the parents at the end of the school year.  They are a great gift and it is very interesting to hear what they say.

He doesn't look too excited about graduating but did get an official looking certificate.

 

The teachers at the Andover School were fantastic!

Other Summer Stuff

Summer fun!

Wax Hands

Summer camps - Jedi training, Ooey Gooey Science, Water Park

Babies! When we were driving to the hospital Nolan told us he thought the doctor was at Red Robin.  He also showed baby Colesten his belly button since the baby's looked a little different.  And he drew the baby a picture.

Annual Swedish SummeRun.  The kids didn't come this year since I didn't think they'd walk. We will start training early for next year!

And lots of wrestling!

 

Saving for a car

I've been saving some of the gift certificates the kids get and the last one from Nana and Grampy got them a car.  Technically it was a graduation gift from them since the gift certificate was for Keaton graduating from Pre-K. We expected the car to cause lots of fights but so far they have been pretty good about sharing.

 

Fun in the Sun

We've been getting outside a lot this Summer!  Here are some fun pics of us in the water:

Spontanious trip to a fountain in Redmond. Didn't bring the swim suits but that's ok.

Swimming at my Aunt Claudia's pool, swimming with our friend Camden and Lynn, swimming at the Cottage Lake pool, swimming at the Lynnwood pool.  All this swimming has made Nolan a little too confident in the water. He thinks he knows how to swim.
