More Summer Fun

Here's some more pictures of what we have been up to this summer.

One of Claire's summer activities was to make a bubble bottle.  What we did was take some water, purple paint, and dish soap and put it all in a bottle.  When she shook the bottle it made pretty colored bubbles.  We super glued the top on.  She liked it for a few days but then lost interest.

Claire has taken to the light sabers.  She chases us all around the house and hits us with them (sometimes really hard).  Santa will be bringing foam swords to our house this year!  Also, I discovered that if I take a light saber with me into the kitchen and she comes in, I can whip it out and she runs away screaming.  It buys me a few minutes...  :)

One of Lily's summer activities was to do a scribble drawing.  What you do is scribble on a piece of paper and then color in the areas between the scribbles.  Lily enjoyed it but Ollie (pic. below) really enjoyed it and said it was one of his favorite art activities.


One of our field trips was to Cameron Park.  We waited until Saturday when Papa could come with us.  We stopped by Shipley's doughnuts and got doughnut holes on the way (thanks library for the free coupons!).  The kids especially loved the water area.



You're never too old to swing!

A tired baby after the park.   She was soaking wet after playing in the water so no clothes...

Wow Ollie and Lily, your paintings are awesome. Pablo Picasso couldn't do better.
