Street Dancing

On the way back from the beer garden in the English gardens on Friday night we found street musicians...
Sophia, Brehan & Caro found the groove (just about the only people in the park that did based on the people in the background), but it was one of the first evenings of the summer where we had a beautiful day with an evening free from thunderstorms. It was nice to be able to take advantage of it!

Rhythmic Gymnastics in our living room

We've been addicted to the Olympics this past week. It has been extremely convenient given that Eurosport is showing all of the events live, and with the time change it means we have a ton of stuff to watch at 3 in the morning (did I mention jet lag is terrible when you are nursing?).
Sophia was fascinated by almost everything, and on the last day we were able to catch some of the rhythmic gymnastics competition. She was enthralled, and then left the room for a few min. When she returned she had one of her hair ribbons (thanks Meri!) and was ready to perform...

Back to school

Waiting for the bus with her new shoe box we decorated the night before... She was very excited about having somewhere to put her "indoor shoes" at school. (they change shoes every time they enter & leave the school building)
Her too big backpack!

Sophia & 2 of her friends checking out a cricket in the school grounds on Sports day. Although the school doesn't have regular uniforms, on sports days (every other day) they ask that the kids wear their sports uniform so they are ready to play. There is also a pair of sweats & a fleece sweatshirt with the school logo. Too cute!

The families at the lake...

With the mommies...

The kids with their kids. (I still get confused when we talk about Mom & Dad that we aren't referring to my parents, but to me!)
The grandparents.
Chaos reigns!
The princesses.

The three 4 year olds...

Once again we had MacKenzie and Liam, and their respective parents & grandparents up to the lake for a great day of play. The weather was, once again, questionable. But it didn't stop some of the kids from getting in the water, and there was some boating as well!

It has been so much fun to see all the kids grow every year, and Sophia likes to call MacKenzie and Liam her other cousins.

Have I mentioned how much Sophia LOVES the water?

MacKenzie isn't so sure...

Chasing Sean is always so much fun!

The ice cream tradition continues...
