To think that Summer has shown up so fast this year is crazy... Where did the time go? I guess keeping busy 6 out of 7 days a week really helps make time fly. We're going from a hectic school schedule, to a somewhat less hectic Summer schedule.
With a few more dance rehearsals, Kaylie and Makenzie will be done with dance. We certainly can't wait to see Kaylie perform in her "Pink Panther" Acro show and Makenzie in her "Annie: Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile" Musical Theatre show in early June. I shouldn't really say done when it comes to Kaylie for dance... She will be beginning private tumble lessons late June through early August. Once she gets her round-off back handspring solo, she'll be moved up to the Advanced Acro class! Late July brings a Production Camp for her as well, perfecting and showing off her acrobatic skills in a "Super Hero" performance lol All of the dance activities will help her since she made the Competitive Acro Team at her dance studio!!! (Fun year ahead, that's for sure!)
Though Makenzie has decided to no longer pursue dance, she has picked up the interest to learn piano:) Our good friend at church may give her private lessons throughout the Summer. (Guess we ought to look for a keyboard or piano?!) Makenzie has also informed us of her continued desire to play soccer. We hope to enroll her in the MVP program in the Fall, if not another, more competitive group. There is also a Singing camp she will join this Summer... can't wait to her her beautiful voice:)
We decided to keep Dannen out of school this Summer. He was going to the Parent's Day Out program at our church, one day a week. I figured with so much going on, we can make some great memories and have fun with all three kids. He LOVES to swim, so I foresee lots of Mommy/Dannen pool time ahead!
All three kiddos will be involved with two Vacation Bible School events, one with our church in July, the other with the church that sponsors the MVP sports programs in June. We'll also visit the library every Monday for their great Summer reading series program. Oh, and they will be participating in a reading program with the Smokies baseball team, earning tickets to games, the zoo, and many local attractions... gettin' their read on! lol
We're also throwing Kaylie a "Brave" birthday party. Totally helps that Daddy is the GM at a movie theatre... she can't wait to see this movie. And since she's SOOOO much like the character, we're hoping to temporarily "color" her hair bright red and get it all curly so she can look the part. I don't know who's more excited!? Should be lots of fun:)
And who can't forget our 9-day road trip!?!? My mom/sister are moving, so William and I will be loading up our kids to drive down and help her say goodbye to Florida. If mapquest is correct, we're in for at least a 44 hour adventure... with three kids! Can't wait to see them, as well as our family in Pennsylvania and Ohio. I've already begun planning things for us to see along the way, creating fun journals for each kiddo, picking up $ items here and there for road-trip fun. Might as well make the most out of what will be a GREAT Summer road trip!
I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting to add... you should see my calender... seriously, it's crazy! In all honesty, I wouldn't trade one single day:)
