Art

I bought the girls some canvases to paint.

They decided to put tape on this one and then paint it.

They liked the finished product when they took the tape off.

Granddaddy hung the girls artwork in the playroom.  Jocelyn painted rainbows, flowers and ladybugs.

Madison painted a mermaid and flowers.

The girls worked on these pieces together.  

Dress-Up

8th Tooth

Madison lost her 8th tooth!

It was a tiny little tooth that has been hanging in there for months.  We are all glad to see it finally come out.  

Madison got an Ariel diary and locket from the Tooth Fairy.  She wrote in her diary today and enjoyed locking it up and hiding the key from her sister.  Jocelyn tried to find the key, but wasn't successful.  

Winshape Camp

This week the girls went to Winshape Camp at Sarasota Alliance Church with their cousins.

(Madison, Mia, Blayke, and Jocelyn)

 Today I got to go along with the girls to camp.  I would recommend Winshape Camp to everyone.  The girls had an amazing week and learned so much.  The counselors are so energetic and great with the kids. 

The girls got their fingernails painted while we waited for all of the children to arrive.

Jocelyn chose blue nails to support the Ocean team.  

The girls had Wacky Science together.  Today they made ice cream.

Jocelyn is busy shaking her ice cream.  

The girls loved making and eating their homemade ice cream!

Then I got to go to painting and crafts with Jocelyn.

I got to help her make a flag today.

She got to make her own catapult this week and even won the catapult contest.

She is very serious about her crafting.

 Jocelyn won the "Crafter of the Week" award!

I got to go to a Tea Party at Girl World with Madison and Mia.

Princess Madison also enjoyed taking dance class at camp.

Here is a video of Madison and Mia's dance recital.

We got to eat Chick-fil-a for lunch.  What a great week at Winshape Camp!  The girls are already looking forward to camp next summer.  

Camp Week

The girls are at camp this week at Grandma and Granddaddy's church.

Jocelyn is in the Pelican group.

Madison chose to do Wacky Science, Dance and Girl World at camp.  

Jocelyn chose Painting, Crafts and Wacky Science at camp.  

Go Ocean!

Junk in the Trunk

We bought the Minute To Win It Game this week.  We all had a good laugh watching Granddaddy play Junk in the Trunk.

He had to strap a box of ping pong balls to his bottom and try to shake and wiggle them all out.  

We couldn't believe how high he could jump!

Myakka River State Park

Today we went to Myakka River State Park.

We enjoyed walking the nature trail and climbing the trees.

Granddaddy helped Madison climb the tree.

Then we crossed the canopy walk.

Monkey Granddaddy in the tree.

Time to walk to the top.

We made it to the top!

We enjoyed the beautiful views and...

even spotted some birds.

Down we go!

Crossing the canopy walk one last time.

Having fun "tree surfing."

We took the boat tour and saw tons of...

alligators!

It was a beautiful day at Myakka River State Park!
