Oakhurst Kids Museum

We were invited to a birthday party today up at the Oakhurst Kids Museum. It was a blast! The kids really enjoyed it and asked if we could do it again! If it weren't 45 minutes away from home, we would gladly go more frequently! How is it possible that Oakhurst can have such a cool kids place, but Fresno not?!!

Ashton trying to climb up the firepole! And yes, that is a mohawk courtesy of Dad!

Ashton loved dress-up! Astronaut Ashton... Blast off!

Doesn't he look like such a big boy now? Our last summer before he starts school!

Down the firepole he goes!

Firegirl Violet

Did I mention dress up?!

He was a little excited about this place!

Yes, another one!

Don't forget about Princess Violet!

Tim phones a friend!

Tim sit atop the fire truck!

He loved! walking through the seaweed below the pirate ship!

I love his face!

Violet swings at gymnastics

Violet started gymnastics a few months ago. This is just one of the activities keeping us so busy this summer!

Pictures for Dad's Collage

The second session I was able to obtain pictures of each of them seperately!

This is for Ashton

My friend took this picture. Tim really wanted to be up there but didn't want me to let go

Cute Violet

Finally, a participating Tim

Upside down Ashton!

Papa!

Well, it's a couple of weeks post-Father's Day and my Dad was just here this weekend. Of course, the pictures came today (Monday)! So, this is as good as it gets for him until next month when he comes again!

 It comes in a cool frame for the wall too Papa! I figure Tim should get two pictures because I'm sure he has less pictures on their Wall of Fame than the other two!

Hidden Homes Trail... Again!

My attempt to get Father's Day presents/pictures for Dad and Papa. Dad has a collage frame from last year, so I wanted to update the pictures. Perhaps that can be an annual thing? Anyways, here is the best we got from the first photo session.

Tim laughs... Try not to laugh with him!

Ashton's End of Year Preschool Performance

Tomorrow is Ashton's last day of preschool. Hurray! He went in as a 3 year old and comes out knowing most of the school's basic principles! Here are some videos of his performance!

As we go into summer, our days will be filled with Violet's gymnastics lessons and Ashton's swimming lessons. I hope to continue to work with Ashton and a kindergarten workbook so he doesn't lose any of his preschool skills! I bet Violet will want to do it too!

Happy Summer!

The World is a Rainbow

Slippery Fish

Tootie Tot

Clearly Ashton's favorite of all the songs!
