I'm a scientist at Little Beakers!

Little Beakers is a cool place where kids can do science experiments.

Claire loved to pick which experiment she wanted to do and

of course she had to do all of the measurements (good thing

she had so much experience from all of her baking with

Grandpa!)

 

As you can see from the pictures, Claire enjoyed this hour of making things

foam, explode, and smoke!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

We started the day by making Daddy blow out candles on his

English Muffin for breakfast.

 Then Daddy got to open his presents from Claire. She got him some water balls for the

pool and two big squirt guns for the pool. She also made sure to get his

favorite snack...zebra cakes!

 We did lots of fun things on Daddy's birthday including going bowling

and going to Little Beakers where Daddy taught me how to be a

good scientist. I got a little crazy in the car ride home!

 No birthday is complete without a cake so before bed Daddy had to

blow out more candles after we sang Happy Birthday to him.

It was a very fun day together as a family.

Swimming with friends

We were very blessed today to get to spend the afternoon with friends enjoying our pool and fellowship. We had beautiful weather and we were able to have so much fun together. Now that Claire can swim on her own, Mommy and Daddy are able to enjoy a bit more freedom in the pool. We spent the afternoon and early evening swimming and grilling out. What a perfect day it was!

No more training wheels!

Jeff worked with Claire the past 2 days on teaching her how to ride her bike without training wheels. As you can see from the video, she is catching on quickly and is already doing a very good job on her bike. Next will be teaching her how to turn and stop. Once that is mastered, it looks like it is time for a bigger bike. We are so proud of how determined Claire is to learn to ride her bike. She never ceases to amaze us. Our little girl is growing up way too fast!

The Children's Museum

Jeff and Claire went to the Children's Museum last Saturday. As you can see, they had lots of fun! I have a feeling this might be a place we frequent (if we can find time once school starts).
