1st week of summer!!

We started summer off with a bang!  The girls' last day was Thursday, but teachers had to work half a day on Friday.  Once we got home, we went to Sonic with the neighbors and their kids.  Then we blew up the water slide and let them play for a while.

On Saturday, we got suckered into the carnival set up in the mall parking lot.  Ava is our little daredevil, and loved every ride that was there!  Elia is definitely a lot more cautious about which rides she gets on.







On Sunday we went to church and then took the girls to their end of season soccer party with a big water slide.  They had a blast!

On Monday, we took the girls to Cici's pizza for lunch.  Then we went bowling and checked out the new International Farmer's Market.





Once we got home, the ice cream man came, and how can you resist the ice cream man on a hot summer day?



The girls played with sidewalk chalk while Kevin tried to clean my grooming job on Miley.




On Tuesday, we loaded up the van and took a little 2 day trip to Little Rock.  Our first stop was the water park there.  The girls had a BLAST!  They are like little fish in the water!





Once we had enough of the water and sun, we checked into our hotel.


Then we ate dinner and walked around a local mall.

On Wednesday, we went to the Discovery Museum in Little Rock.  It was a pretty fun place!  
Here is Ava pulling her own weight:

The girls doing a newscast:




This shows how much blood is in Elia's body:




And this is the amount of blood in Kevin's body:




Kevin and Elia building a skeleton:




Ava showing the length of our large intestines:  (YUCK!)


Kevin and the girls building a building to be tested in a pretend earthquake:




Elia playing with a huge thing: (not real sure what to call it)


The coolest thing was the tornado exhibit!  You could go into a little pretend workshop and there would be a pretend tornado that came through.  The girls were too afraid to go in it so Kevin and I went in.  I have to admit.  I was pretty scared myself and pray that we never have to experience anything like that!  Here are some pictures outside of the exhibit:



Whew!  That's a lot for just one week!  We still have 8 weeks to go!  We love our summers!!!
