Three teeth down!

Waterpark opening day

Our neighborhood hosted its annual waterpark opening party this weekend. The slides had been running for nearly two weeks, so the timing was a little strange. We had a blast with the helicopter landing, games, prizes, and fun with friends!

Soap & science

Our local library launched its summer reading program on Thursday. This year's theme is "Fizz, Boom, Read!" Thursday's kickoff included several experiment stations.

The kids especially got a kick out of their soap experiment-- Ivory soap (because of the air bubbles inside) foams up when microwaved. Pretty cool!

Moving up!

On Wednesday, Travis graduated from Kindergarten! The kids had an adorable performance, then walked the stage to get their diplomas.

 

Even with the midweek pomp & circumstance, both boys actually finished school today. They held their annual moving up ceremony, where each class stepped up to the next grade level.

Travis & Mrs. Rilley:

After saying our goodbyes, we headed to Subway and FroGo for a celebratory lunch...

...and then joined some friends at Starpointe.

Hurray for summer!

A very happy unbirthday

Mrs. Rilley's class has been celebrating summer birthdays before school ends. On Monday, Travis had his turn!

The class sang to him, then all of the kids told Travis something they like about him. We ended with cookies and lemonade. What a fun unbirthday!

Fill 'er up

Our pool water needed to be drained this weekend, and the kids had a great time helping to fill it up again.
