Summer has Started




Summer is off to a great start this week. Isla has been at Vacation Bible School in the mornings and has just loved it. She has also started summer soccer, also known as Mighty Strikers in DL. That takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30-6:30pm. It's fun to watch the kids run and play. Not a lot of skill building going on, but they sure do have fun. Keeping Greta off the field proves to also be entertaining some nights. It's great to see the improvement Isla has made since last summer. She is really excited about soccer this year and wants to play all the time. Such was not always the case last summer. She's on the same team as many of her friends so that does help. Hopefully I'll be better this summer about updating our blog with what we're up to. So far, summer is off to a great start!

Gymnastics




So Isla has decided she'd like to give gymnastics a try. And we are so fortunate to have a great gym in our town. MN Flyers Gymnastics has so many programs for kids. We went to the open gym time today and Isla had a blast. Of course, who wouldn't have fun with all the trampolines and the giant pit of foam blocks to jump into. Mason was wondering what the weight capacity is for the foam pit, I know he wanted to jump in himself. We brought Greta with us today, but that will not be happening for another year and a half. Kids need to be 3 to use the equipment, but in standard Greta fashion she wanted to do what ever her big sister was doing. It was a challenge keeping her busy away from all the fun equipment. Good thing there was 2 of us. So Isla will start gymnastics on Tuesday and go once a week until May. Two of her friends are in the same class so I think she'll have a lot of fun. Perhaps more pictures to come! p/s I'd like to add the pictures that are out of focus were taken by dad, not mom.
