I love how the kids can do story time without me these days! Avery is getting better but she needed a lot of help from J. He will be in Kindergarten next year and he reads better than a will be 2nd grader! 
Crazy girls at the Science Museum
They had a new shadow box thing. It counts down from 10, you pose, it flashes, you look at the wall and your shadow is still there.
Flight simulator. Another new thing we did at the SM. Each girl crashed, so they did not get a sticker...I thought the guy was kidding when he said that but oh no. They are serious with their handing out of stickers!!
Avery has started to love playing with her dolls finally. It's cute watching her take care of the babies. She takes them to daycare, puts them in seatbelts, etc.
We got to keep Austen's power wheels for a couple of weeks this month. It is now gone, but we sure liked riding it up and down the street several times.
Both kids will finally let water fall all over their face. It's amazing. I have finally been able to set up reservations at Great Wolf Lodge and I'm excited!
We went to this spray ground and pool several times this month. I love free activities!
This whole end of the pool is just 2 feet 7 inches so all of my kids can touch!
Avery has mastered the monkey bars. It was probably mastered long ago at school recess...but I've never been able to see her!
Unpluggits face painting day!
Zane got a pretty nasty splinter (which is why I wasn't able to push down the cuticles)...
This was the cutest thing ever to watch and Zane handled losing well!
Went to GG's house again this month and Avery jumped into deeper water with no help and even did split jumps. Fear of water and crying every time we swim is no longer!
GG's gynormous garden!
Silly String!!
Awesome magic show at our library. I was seriously amazed. I go crazy trying to figure out how they do it. For real. I was amazed.
We also went to a Water Show. Did you know when water is frozen really fast, it is white because the air didn't have a chance to escape before it froze?!
If water is in a balloon, the water will absorb the heat first and only once it has absorbed all it can, will the heat travel to the balloon. So this balloon didn't pop until about 30 seconds or so. Did not know that!
The kids all got to eat a cheese puff that had been frozen with liquid nitrogen making them have "dragon's breath"!
They then got to eat a Gatorade slushie made by pouring the nitrogen in the Gatorade. I need to get me some liquid nitrogen. That would be a fun way to make ice cream!
Reading time at the library...
some more unpluggits...
These kids are crazy. This was them while I voted on Tuesday!
This boy needs to get some meat on him. Those are 2T swim trunks and they don't stay up...
Another fun and busy month. Here's to August...
