I keep thinking that I'll spend a day going back over all our adventures since, um April and fill you in but the task gets more and more overwhelming with each passing adventure. And boy, have there been adventures this summer. Here's a quick update:
Graham turned 6 and the Rave theater in Vestavia hasn't been the same since his buddies screened Meet the Robinsons in 3D.
We celebrated Cinco de Mayo with our cousin Eric and his fiance Christie at the Erickson's house.
Carter was the star of the show in his spring dance recital, with ballet and jazz numbers.
We visited Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter at the Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia.
We went to the mountains with our friends the Butterworths and rescued/captured nearly 100 frog eggs which we've nursed into tadpoles and so far, at least one frog.
Carter was the ringbearer in Wilson and Callie Nash's wedding (which was the wedding of the millenium!) and Graham humored me and wore his seersucker suit.
The boys and I went to the beach with Kelly (my sister) and her two children (Jackson, 3 and Harper, 1) to be with our extended family for a long weekend and we ALL survived.
Our family went back to the beach the next week this time with Reggie and our fairy godmother Nina and had a BLAST reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, seeing Ratatouille, and watching Graham master the art of underwater swimming.
Graham has enjoyed being the "big kid" at Creative Montessori this summer while Carter has enjoyed many different camps - cooking camp at One Nineteen Wellness Center, Camp Sumatanga, art camp and the Birmingham Museum of Art, science camps at McWane Center and zoo camp.
Carter dressed up as Harry Potter for the Deathly Hallows celebration at the McWane Center and convinced me to take him to get the book at 12:01 am on July 21st.
The boys enjoyed this last week at Avalanch Ranch at Highlands Vacation Bible School. Yahoo!
Whew. As you can see, who's had time for blogging?
Well, I'll promise to post pictures of all our adventures over the next few days.
The boys (all three of them) are cooking dinner now, I better go help.
I hope your summer has been as good as ours!
