Skating and Park Fun

Cora and Emily came up with the idea of having a "popcorn party," this week, on the couple of days after Emily got her braces off and before Cora had her expander put in.

This is why Cora looks glum - the day after this photo was taken, she had a metal contraption attached to the roof of her mouth. No more popcorn or sticky candy for a long, long time!

We had our popcorn party at the park, where Sara and Tony had hosted "Popsicles at the Park" for the past few summers. A few other friends joined us, including Sophia, who had played at our house Wednesday.

Violet worked with Charlie and Tommy to make a next for a hummingbird, they said, out of mud and sand. "I couldn't bring it home," she said, "because it was really sticky mud."















Violet is going into first grade, therefore it's time to become a monkey bar expert. She is able to go back and forth now, and has the blisters to prove it.

This week, the girls went to the Ice Station for the afternoon ice skating camp, as they have the past few summers.

They had fun!
