Vacation and Celebrations

Whew...it's hot here! Not transitioning too well to this heat after being in Colorado for 3 weeks. Even Keegan said "Mom, can we please move back to Colorado? It's too hot here!" Our trip was wonderful. I didn't really know how the kids would do away from home for 3 weeks and without Kevin for 2 of those weeks, but I had no reason to worry. We stayed plenty busy collecting bugs, pinecones, hiking, and picking flowers. Keegan had some special days with Oma going to the Wildlife Park and asking why some of the animals were "dead" and how they got "dead." Oma also took her hiking one day and let Keegan pick the path. Then, when Nana came for a visit Keegan chose to go swimming for her second time (I took her once and Oma took her once). Klay just hung out following his sister around, picking flowers and trying to put them in his hair. Oh, and Keegan caught her first fish; although, I don't think she actually touched it because she thought it might bite!




We also celebrated Oma's birthday and Keegan's birthday while we were there...it was so much fun. Keegan helped make Oma's cupcakes (she chose pink frosting). And for Keegan's birthday we had a Cars theme. I cannot believe that she is 4 now...the time has flown by...and little Klay-boy is 17 months old!



Keegan has decided to take a break from gymnastics and try a dance class again...we will see how that goes. It will be creative dance which might be more her speed! Kevin has also offered to take an art class with her so that should provide some interesting stories (pictures to come of the art projects).
