Let's see, since we've been back from our two week vacation in Pennsylvania, the kids have been busy, busy, busy. Our days start out with Swim Team Practice bright and early. We come home have a little breakfast, since it's much too early to eat before Swim Team. Then it's off to swimming lessons! Next is lunch and then we drop Anneli off at Day Camp! The afternoon is spent with Christopher working on Cub Scout activities, reading, writing in his journal, swimming or something else. What a fun, but crazy three weeks it's been!
Last Wednesday evening, (July 14th) we went and saw a puppet show at our public Library. Nappy's Puppets presented 'Jack and the Beanstalk'. It was a great shadow puppet show. The kids enjoyed it, and it had Shaun and I laughing too!
One rainy day we went to Pottery Piazza with Memere. Pottery Piazza is a paint your own pottery place. We each picked out a piece to create and had a blast painting and chatting! Christopher painted a dolphin (of course) and a fish. Anneli painted a happy cat. Memere and I both painted Gnomes. Super fun!!! We were very excited when we were able to pick them up yesterday. They came out great! 
On Thursday, July 15th, Anneli had a birthday party for a friend at Jump Zone so Memere came along and watched Christopher bounce. For those of you who don't know, Jump Zone is a super fun indoor play center with large inflatables to climb and jump in. The kids both had a great time! Thanks Memere for keeping an eye on Christopher!! :)

Last Saturday, we had a busy day! We headed out early with Aunt Valerie to Kuras Berry Farm and went blueberry picking, since Shaun had just used our last bag of blueberries from last year! It was a hot day, but we picked a bunch of super yummy blueberries! YUMMMMY. We enjoyed some fresh blueberries and we froze a bunch. Shaun thinks I should pick more... :) Then we went shopping! Always a great way to end the day!!! :)

Last Sunday, was the 3rd annual GE 5K Road Race benefiting the Petit Family Foundation. You can find more information HERE. The coolest thing about this road race is that it goes right by our house--it sure wasn't the temperature!! It was SUPER stinkin' HOT!!!! Shaun and Valerie have both participated in running the 5K for the past 3 years. This year Christopher ran with Shaun and Aunt Val. Anneli ran the kids fun-run and walked the 5K with Memere and Pepere. I had the tough job of running home to turn on the sprinklers for the runners and take pictures of them running by! I was proud of Christopher for finishing the race. It was super hot and he was still smiling when he got to our house---which is about 1 mile or so from the finish line! Way to go 'Topher!!!
