Summer 2016 highlights

So summer has come and almost gone (preschool starts back next week), and zero blogs so far... We've had a fun and busy summer.  Summer started off with E's 5th bday in May, and C's 3rd bday in June. June was also a busy month with VBS, lake trips and a family beach trip.  July brought more time at the lake, and LOTS of swimming at the Y.  E and C both learned to swim this summer, and E passed his swim test.  C can swim, but has not yet mastered "treading" water.  E also started tennis lessons this summer and will be continuing into the fall.  We were given a trampoline by sweet neighbors, so much time has also been spent jumping!  We've also spent lots of time at the library, McWane Center, zoo, Let's play, and on our inflatable water slide.  Here are some highlights in pictures from the summer.  We are all excited about meeting the teacher and starting a new school for 5K and 3K in 8 days, but who is counting...
