On the Road

On the road to VA Beach. Ready for vacation!

Rodeo!

Popcorn, cotton candy, lemonade, slushies, and nachos! Summer fun food!
The rodeo show was a lot of action. Bulls, wild horses, calf catching, roping and lots of fun with the rodeo clown!

Kaitlyn wanted cotton candy and Kelsey wanted silly bands. They both got what they wanted! Smiles all around!

Kaitlyn's horse was named

Pool Time with Parker!

We went over to a friend's house to swim and the girls were very impressed when Parker (7 years old) got ready to go to his baseball game. He really showed off his stuff by warming up outside and getting his picture taken with the girls. As we were leaving, Kelsey asked if we could go to one of Parker's games to watch him play. The girls were impressed.

Acro, Ballet, Tap and Jazz - Dance Camp!

The girls went to 3 days of dance camp in June to do some acro, ballet, tap and jazz. They loved wearing their new acro outfits handed down from Madeline and Alina! They also loved going to the Meadows to get ice cream after their class!

Chuck E. Cheese Party!

Kelsey and Max!

Kelsey and Kaitlyn had fun at Max's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. Max is one of Kelsey's best friends at school. They are always so happy to see each other in the morning! Unfortunately, they will be going to different Kindergartens but they have had a great time at daycare through the years!

Hot Day at the Autism Walk!

The Altoona School District Team enjoyed a hot summer day at the ballpark for the autism walk! Kelsey and Kaitlyn enjoyed the snacks and good times with the kids but only walked about 1 time around the ballpark! Maureen was our team captain and thanks to her hard work, we raised over 1,000.00 for Autism Speaks!

Tutti Fruitti at the Curve Game

Kaitlyn (obviously) was not crazy about the tutti fruity and wished she had just gotten the oreo and vanilla like she wanted!
We went to a curve game in June and the girls tried out the dip-n-dots for the first time. Kelsey picked tutti fruity and Kaitlyn wanted oreos and vanilla. Kaitlyn changed her mind when she heard Kaitlyn's order but then later regretted it. Poor Kaitlyn! The girls watched 2-4 innings at a time in between treats. That's pretty good compared to last year!

Sesame Place!

We stayed at the park until closing time both days! The girls had so much fun this year. They were able to ride the roller coaster, ride the waterslides and see all of the shows. We were lucky to have great weather and good times.

Little Dancing Queen at the Elmo Rock and Roll show!

Hanging out in Ernie's wave pool.

Pool Fun

Kaitlyn jumped in the pool all night at the hotel. I think she jumped in about 30 times while we were down at the pool! She goes right under and then pops up with her big arm floaties.
Kelsey and David hung out and played in the pool! David showed off his swimming skills and motivated Kelsey to try out some time without her floaties.

More from Sesame

Super Grover gave the girls a tickle attack!

These big white things were called "whisper walls." The girls could talk to each other from opposite sides of the climbing area if they talked into the circle area. We could hear Kelsey whisper to us all the way at the other end of the walkway! This was little lost on Kaitlyn - she screamed anyway! A little loud on the other end!

David and Kelsey took off on the rope climbs!

Kaitlyn hung out with Bob on the rope climbs.

C is for Cookie!

So excited to see Cookie Monster and joke around with him. Lots of high fives and tickles from Cookie!
Bob and Paul braved the Count's bucket of water drop! It was so hot and the water felt pretty good but the girls still stayed away when the Count announced that the bucket was about to drop.

Jumping and Splashing Around.

Kelsey and I watched about 5 kids do the slide and then she was ready to give it a try...right after me! It was a fun little slide! By the second day, she was on the big slides with me!

Waiting for the shuttle to get to the park. Lots of giggles going around.

Ready to Go!

We took a trip to Sesame Place this month! The girls were very excited to get to the hotel. I think the hotel would have been enough excitement for them but the addition of Elmo and Cookie monster made it over the top for sure!

Barbies Outside!

Kelsey and Kaitlyn had fun playing Barbies outside with this baby pool. We loved the hot summer weather!

Curve Game!

Excited to run the bases!
Kaitlyn ran into her friend from school, Brayden. She has been running into him a lot lately. She was really excited to see him and jumped up and down when we saw him --in the girls bathroom! Then later we ran into him to run the bases together!

Great seats! Thanks to our contacts with the Curve, our preschool had great seats for the game! Thanks CK! We loved being able to see the bounce house and the Curve dug out. The only drawback was the constant smell of Curve Burgers that kept my stomach growling all night! Love those Curve Burgers!

Two little divas!

Preschool Graduation

Kelsey's school had a preschool graduation ceremony last week. They sang a few of their favorite songs and then each child was presented with an award. Kelsey won the "good friend" award because she's always a friend to everyone! That made us very proud and we hope she keeps up the great work next year in Kindergarten. She's very excited to use her new backpack and lunch box at school next year!

Glad to be outside!

Playdate!

Snowcones were a big hit! They all wanted to sit in the little house in the swingset and eat them.
The girls had fun playing outside with Madeline, Alina, Nicholas and Paige!

Kaitlyn loves to hang with the big girls.

Time to decorate the driveway, sidewalk and our feet!

Dance Recital Day

David agreed that Kelsey looked very pretty. He gave her a sweet little peck on the cheek. Then later they put on superhero costumes and chased each other around the house. Just a regular play day!
Pretty Girl in the Posies.

Flower Time!
