Little Gym gymnastics/dance recital

Tonight Claire had her gymnastics/dance recital at the Little Gym.

She started the night off with showing us her gymnastics moves.

 They focused on their routine on the beam...

 and the skills they have been working on with the bar.

 Pretty impressive handstand on the skinny beam!

After her gym routine, she went into the dance room to do her tap dance.

Finally, she ended with her ballet dance.

The girls ended the evening receiving trophies for their hard work.
Claire really seemed to enjoy showing off her skills she has been working hard
on over the past few months!

Our fun day at the zoo

We decided to go to the zoo today. I am so thankful that we did. It was perfect weather and the crowd was not bad at all. We got to see many of the animals in action and got to watch the gorillas in their new habitat. The best part of the zoo trip was watching Claire. She was so interested in reading about each animal, learning about their habitat and diet, and checking to see if they are endangered or not. Of course, she was also very interested in getting her picture taken with each statue she could find, as you can tell by the pictures!

Claire and Elliot's Lemonade stand!

Jeff helped Claire and Elliot run a lemonade stand yesterday.

First they had to make their sign and make their lemonade.

Once they were all set up, they had to make sure they were

refreshed before beginning their big job.

 After drinking some water, there were some business decisions

that needed to be discussed...

 After much conversation, they agreed to how their business would be run!

 

They figured the best way to get customers was to wave at

every car that drove by...

 and it looks like that strategy worked because they had a total of

20 customers...

and they walked away with a pretty good profit for their first

job together! 

 Nice work kids!

A fun Sunday together!

Just a girl and her dog before church this morning!

 Claire's hair is finally long enough to do pig tails again. I know

Grandpa would be smiling right now if he were here since he loved

his little girl in pig tails!

 After church and a movie, we got to get some exercise on the trampoline.

As always, Claire and her Dad were being crazy!

 After getting all sweaty from jumping we decided to go directly into the pool.

This is the first swim of the summer for us and to our surprise, the water wasn't too

chilly (if you kept moving around!).

What a blessing to be able to spend such a fun day together as a family!

K2 Spring Showcase

Claire had her spring showcase for gymnastics this past weekend.

It was fun to watch her and see how much she has accomplished in

the short time she has been at K2. She started with her routine on the balance beam.

 Then she went to the bars and did awesome!

 She also had a floor routine but the pictures didn't turn out well.

She did great for her first show! We are so proud of her!
