6-12-2012 zoo trip with grandma and June

June (I love my headband THIS way) and Sadie

I can't believe I let my little guy go up in the playground!  

Sadie was such a good big sister and helped him all the way.

June did not like the Alligator noises in the reptile house.

Dash very much liked to press the button that made the alligator noises in the reptile house.

Turtles!

Yeah there is Dash - ABOVE MY HEAD!

6-10-2012 We are so busy in June!

We met Grandma and Paw Paw and JUNE!!! at the playground in Delaware.

I can't believe that my little Dasher has bigger calves than June.

It was also Sadie's first swim lesson (She insisted on wearing the goggles)

Dash thought June was wonderful.

Sadie was tops in her class and even went off the diving board at the end of the 2 weeks!

Love this

The Duffy Clan plus E-Dunk and Mr. Nick all came over to help spread 10 yards of mulch.

Our house looks awesome now.

The girls.

Mulch makes everything pretty

They are either terrified or up to something.

Dash was very patient while Sadie had swim lessons.

After practicing, Sadie's class had "free dance" and Dash joined in.

Dash plays catch with Daddy for the first time.

The Performance

Free bounce house at the ice cream festival.   I didn't notice - until reviewing the video - that Sadie trips her brother to make him fall.  

Sadie and Dash dance to the interesting singer at the ice cream festival

2012 May videos #1

Sadie entertained at Brian's house with her spin on "Take Me Home, Country Roads."  She has a book with the words and loves to "sing" the song.  Still working on singing vs. yelling

Sadie's Dance Class

Sadie's last day of school.  

 I had no idea she could follow directions so well.

5-30-2012 Sadie's Class Party and Last Day

I went to Sadie's Party at the end of school and she made me this beautiful bracelet.  She was very enthusiastic about having a pattern

Sadie and her friend Gracie

Sadie's class - 5 more kids than at the beginning.

Our daughter the giant.  Well, they can't say she is not tall enough to be in kindergarten.

5-28-2012 Farm AND Ice Cream Festival

On the way to the Velvet Ice Cream Festival, we stopped at Slate Run Farm to visit the animals (and farm equipment).

Dash loved the cool cars at the Ice Cream Festival.

Sadie got to sit in Cinderella's carriage

Sadie also performed some interpretive dance for the locals.

Look at those tires!  

They even had a playground for the kids.

5-24-2012 Young's Dairy Farm with Grandma

Sadie and Dash lined up for a pic

Dash was very impressed with the big tractors

Sadie was very impressed (and brave) about the BIG slide!

Wow!

Yummy ice cream at Young's

And we saw the cows that make it (well the milk anyway)
