Hello again!  Sorry it's been so long since we updated but we've been having a happy busy summer!  It went by much too quickly!  I am actually looking forward to fall however, it's my favorite time of year! 

This summer the girls have done a lot of fun things!  We went to Sandcastle and both girls had a blast!  Marissa rode down some "BIG" waterslides with me and she loved every second of them!  Both girls played in the kiddy areas and went down the kid slides... even Camryn!  Marissa loved the wave pool too.  We had lots of fun in the sun!

We also went to Kennywood with Kurt, Krissy, Dylan and Marshall. The girls loved that too!  They both rode lots of rides in kiddyland and Marissa even went on the big log ride with me and Dylan!  She loved it!  We had lots of fun at Kennywood!

Our big vacation this year was to Fort Myers, Florida.  We stayed at the best hotel for kids, I swear.  They had crafts to do each day poolside.  Marissa made a treasure chest, painted a  starfish and a sand dollar, and got to make a bouncy ball.  She also did a "paint wars" one day on the beach with a bunch of kids.  They also had a "make your own sundae" everyday.  They had a big pool with a waterfall and octopus that the girls loved.  The pool went from 5 feet all the way down to zero depth, so even Camryn could walk in the pool.  They had another kiddy pool too that had sprayers and waterfalls.  The girls loved it too!  The hotel had a  movie night too, where you sat poolside and watched a movie outside on a big screen.  Lots of fun!  The whole trip was wonderful.  The girls loved Florida!  We found lots of amazing seashells, crabs, a clam, starfish and sanddollars.  Wow!  We took Marissa to see a Peter Pan play on vacation and she absolutely LOVED IT!  Marissa is crazy for Peter Pan and tinkerbell right now!

Here's just a few of our MANY photos from Florida:

Some updates on the girls:

Marissa is 5 1/2 and just started kindergarten two days ago!  She loves school!  We are so proud of her! She is all excited about her "twinkle toes" shoes from sketchers that she got for school.  Oh man!  She'll be starting dance class again this year in September. Marissa is growing up too fast!! I can't believe she's almost 6!  She loves Tinkerbell right now and playing barbies.  She is already thinking about what she wants to be for halloween!  (and right now its Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz!)  Marissa has been swimming with just arm floaties on this year in my mom's pool and jumping in too!  What a big girl!
