Lake Trip #2

Our second trip to the lake was a blast! The weather cooperated beautifully, and the girls were already comfortable with the cottage and routine. The lake swans Chief and Cinnamon visited us, but wouldn't get close enough to feed. That really upset Makenna! I uploaded a video of Kaela singing to the swans to try and get them to come closer. Her swan song didn't work, but we did have many duck feedings.







Sad the swans left

Lake Trip #1

We spent a lot of time up at the lake the month of June. Here are a few pics from our first trip up there! Makenna fell in love with driving the boats, and Kaela really started warming up to the water. I'm working on a bunch of posts for the next couple days. I've really slacked off on the blog, so stay tuned!

Recital #2

Way back in June Kaela had her final dance recital. We were very happy to see the day come since the company had declared bankruptcy and shut down in the process. We lost out on a lot of money, but most importantly the girls didn't get their costumes they had been looking forward to. Kaela took it in stride, much better then most of the girls. She was easily won over with the trophy! We have since decided to take a good break from ballet!
