Summer is here!! Yay! We have been having a lot of fun...even though I feel like my kids have forgotten how to play with toys and how to entertain themselves with the busy-ness of the school year. Haha! Despite that...I have been enjoying my kiddos and the fun summer time adventures we have been having! And I have hope that my kids will once again learn how to entertain themselves for a small part of the day at least :) hehe.
Before our summer fun began, however, we had some FUN that i worth noting and remembering! I included this picture of Elsie because I am just obsessed with her darling after bath curls. She is just getting so big!
We had a few more fun play group dates before school got out. Here are Elsie and her friends looking at a frog with the binoculars they made :)
We went on a nature scavenger hunt as well!
On another play date focusing on the letter "G" we made G's out of Goldfish in a fish tank and made glitter globes.
and made marshmallow Giraffes :)
Yum!!
Ryan has been working so hard to make our yard look amazing! He has such a talent with gardening. I love this decorative ladder Ryan made for me that we decorate for the seasons! Ryan planted some shade plants to put on it that are just lovely.
Poor Beckham had a bad run of luck with getting sick on the very days of field trips and parties at school :( He had to miss his school fishing trip that he was so looking forward to. So Ryan, being the amazing daddy that he is, took him on his very own fishing trip in the pond across the street :)
We had the very neat opportunity to go to the Kansas City, Chiefs draft event that was held on Whitman Air Force Base. We got to see some very cool jets and planes!
The B2 Bomber is always my favorite! its just such an amazing plane!
Jane abd Elsie liked meeting the Chiefs cheerleaders...Beckham wanted nothing to do with them- haha!
He WAS excited to meet the football players and get their signatures!
We got Papa Johns Pizza and cookies! And the kids got to play games, do projects and jump on bouncy houses!
Elsie had fun, too :)
We had a blast!!
We have been trying to soak up all the beautiful Spring time weather that we can! Cause, we know that soon the humidity will come and make being outside a lot more miserable. We love eating dinner outside!
The kids and I had a a fun outing at Powell Gardens with some good friends :) We explored some really fun parts of the gardens that we had never seen before! Elsie, who loves all animals, thought sitting on a horse statue was pretty neat!
There was no shortage of cool things to climb on and sit on...
The favorite part of the day was playing in the huge fountain!
I love hanging out with these amazing kiddos and some great friends! What a great day!
We got some caterpillars to watch as they grew, turned into chrysalis's and then emerged as butterflies! We love watching that amazing process, but finally freeing them and watching them fly away was the neatest part!
Here is just a cute picture of Elsie wearing a Merida dress! She loves to dress up and wear pretty shoes and hold purses...she is the girlies of girls!!
Last but not least, we finally got to see Beckham's Kindergarten music program! It was so darling to see him perform all the jungle themed songs he had been working so hard on. He was so serious the whole time and hardly cracked a smile. However, I learned later that he was just very focused :) He even had a solo part where he got to play an instrument during a song. Here is Beckham with is best friend doing their solo parts during a song!
Things are going great here with the Dick family! On to more summer time adventure :)
