Class picture day!

Today is class picture day for preschool, so with a little begging, Bryn was FINALLY allowed to wear a dress to school! She was super pumped and promised not to get her nice church shoes dirty on the playground! :)

As anyone who has tried to take a picture of Bryn knows, she is hard to get a good picture of. So, here is the best I got this morning before leaving for preschool. Oh, yes, Ady is carrying a purse...it must go everywhere we go and it's contents include: her cell phone and keys! Just one more thing for me to keep track of... :)

Apple picking @ Lynd's Fruit Farm!

What a great day to go apple picking! The girls had a great time, Bryn enjoyed "throwing" the bad apples (while Jody chimes in "don't hit anybody"!) and Ady, well, enjoyed eating apples....even before they were t-shirt cleaned! On our way out, we stopped for Kettle corn and they chowed down on that...YUM! Jody even spoiled them with a sucker each...what a fun time!

First day, of the 2nd year, at Preschool!

Quotes from Bryn on her first day at Preschool:

"Today can't be the first day of school, I am not 5!"

"why am I going to this school, I am not a little kid!"

"where's my snack?"

(no snack on the first day since it is a shortened day!)

"when can I go to school ALL MY SELF?"

(a parent had to attend with her on the first day)

"I like my shoes better"

(talking to a friend...what a shoe snob! We had to have a talk about that)

Milkshakes!

What a way to end the day...ride our bikes, play at the park, and suck down some homemade vanilla MILKSHAKES!!! Yum Yum!

Safety Town fun

As a special treat for the final day of swim lessons, we packed up the bikes and took the kids to Safety town in New Albany. Bryn did a nice job obeying the signs---Ady was a total disaster!

Bryn passed!!

We just got back from Bryn's last day at Swim Lessons! She has shown much improvement and is able to swim a good distance all by herself!! She passed the "FROG" level and is now approved to take level 3 (there are a total of 4 skill levels). We are super proud of her :)

Kings Island!

We made our first visit to Kings Island & the kids had a BLAST! Bryn's favorite was the Woodstock Express (a.k.a. the Beasty) and the bumper cars. Ady pretty much loved everything, even the log ride! My favorite moment caught on picture was Bryn's first time on the roller coaster...at the end, she reenacted what her face looked like going down the hill! :) Oh yes, we brought home some of those overstuffed prizes...Bryn thought it was fun to watch her Daddy try to win those prizes!!
