These two are pretty entertaining together. Caleb frequently begs to go next door and play “wif Luuke” and Luke often succeeds in slipping over to help himself to our garden hose or toy power tools. Their favorite pastime, though, is big wheeling together in the cul de sac, and crashing into each other as much as possible. Should be some interesting adventures ahead for this dynamic duo.

June 19 - Camp
Meg and Nate had another great summer at Camp Westminster. We still couldn’t find a buddy to attend a regular week-long session with Nate, so we signed him up for back-to-back first-timer sessions with his friend Ian. They had a great time AND Nate made it all the way up the climbing tower and down the zip line! Way to go Nate.
Meg was excited to go to camp with Nella (pictured) and Anna again. But the biggest thrill was that after three years of waiting she FINALLY got to go the same week as her best friend, Maggie.
Next year Kate will be old enough to go, too! Yay!!

Bubbles
The highlight of our last spring trip to Birmingham was catching several turtles.
The kids spent lots of time rearranging the habitat. I spent lots of time pushing hand sanitizer on them.
I reluctantly agreed to let them bring home a tiny little turtle. Poor Bubbles was left in the sun while we went to church. The kids and their friends held several funerals.
May 25 – Kate Turns Five
Birthday Breakfast
Meg gave Kate her dollhouse.
Dress up necklaces from Grampy.
Cute Kate.
Our neighborhood friends came over to eat lunch and play on the slip-n-slide.
New play-doh tools from Lindsay.
Ready for a birthday dinner.
Special request: chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.
An after dinner bike ride; trying out her new doll seat (with one of Meg’s dolls as she had not yet opened her big gift from Grammy & Grampy.)
New bulletin board.
Kit! And matching hats made by Grammy.
Happy Birthday Kate! We love you!!
May 13 - Six Flags
This year we took advantage of homeschool day at Six Flags, which meant for a reduced rate we enjoyed the whole park with cooler weather, smaller crowds, boxed lunch, and free return vouchers to be used later in the summer. It was also fun to run into several families we know. I thought we would make it a few hours, but we ended up staying for 8. It turns out Meg is our thrill seeker: she loved every roller coaster she went on (and she went on all of them at least once). Caleb will probably be similar; this time around he wasn’t big enough for any really wild rides, but he did like the zippiest of the kiddie coasters. Nate and Kate were a little more leery of things that went too fast or upside-down, but everyone had tons of fun!
