Summer time here was quite different than our summers in South Carolina. We used to swim every day and hang out with friends all the time. The only swimming pools here are indoors. The weather was usually sunny with temperatures in the 70's. Of course, it is always in Celsius here, so I like to check my iphone to tell me in Fahrenheit. We stayed busy at home and got out to the parks as often as possible. Here are some things that kept us busy during those few weeks before school got started.
Breakfast time letter practice and ABC puzzles
I cut tortillas into letters for their snack. They loved them!
Amelia seriously cracks us up with the way she dresses up and ties things up.
Our big 4 year old! We celebrated at Build a Bear
This is how we send birthday wishes to our family in the U.S.
Dylan loves to write lists of his cars, line them up, race them and do his 200 piece puzzle!
Piano lessons for Cora
Amelia "caught" a butterfly (who was no longer moving). I let her paint my face too.
We took lots of walks. This is an old part of our neighborhood.
Amelia probably picked over 100 flowers this summer.
We had vases with dandelions on the kitchen table almost every day.
Cora just smiled no matter what we did!
Dressed up as Jessie and Woody dancing to the Lion King soundtrack
Enjoying some playdates with friends
Fun with the hose.
Dylan drew these flags of various countries. He learned them by watching the Olympics and checking the medal counts on my iphone. He remembered what the flags looked like! Amazing memory!
We enjoyed our last day of summer at the park (with a little ice cream)!
