Summer Fun

Many of the cute, fun summer programs in our community drew to a close last week. I guess it is time to get ready for back to school! :( While I love my job, I have enjoyed our family summer so much, and I am not really looking forward to it ending. But, Chance has been back at work for over a week already (hot, hot, hot two-a-days!), and I know I'll have to get ready for my classes eventually. But, enough about that! Here are some pictures of the fun summer programs Cade has participated in this summer.

We did mainly music again at First Baptist Church, and it was just as great as last year! For $2 a session, kids learn great songs, rhymes, and dances, and get a snack at the end. How great is that!

Here are Cade and Natalie doing some funky dancing.



The feather song



My feet are jumping, jumping, jumping!



The last day of music is always a splash day. Here is Cade's reaction when the teacher said that it was not time to go to the water yet.



Splash time!



Our library also offers a summer reading rewards program. Kids earn prizes like toys, free kids meals at restaurants, and books for reading a certain amount of time each day. Cade absolutely loves reading right now, so he has racked up the prizes! Here he is getting to put his name on the library wall for finishing his reading log.



Cade's favorite books right now are the Shrek book (a seek and find book that is challenging for ALL ages!), Going on a Bear Hunt, Bad Dog Marley, and Alexander's Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Day. I am so happy that he loves reading, and it is so sweet to read with him every day.
