Trapeze

To celebrate Corban's birthday, we surprised him by planning an afternoon of trapeze school!
He enjoyed it so much in Cancun, so we knew he would be excited to do it again.  We invited his friend, Samuel, to go with us- and Abigail and Hadassah also did the class.  They all had a great time!

Corban was the only one to do the catch!

4th of July

Hadassah and Mommy made a cake- the colors were more pink, white and aqua but it tasted yummy and Hadassah said it looked "awesome!"
 

The girls were at camp that morning, but Daddy and the boys went to the Plantation 4th of July parade!  That evening, we went over to friends to watch their fireworks display!

Pack Your Passport Camp

Abigail and Hadassah did a week of "Pack Your Passport" camp!Each day they learned about and did various crafts from a different continent.
They both really enjoyed all the great projects!

Miami City Ballet intensive

Abigail's summer intensive with MCB began the last week of June, she is in level I with classes M-F from 4:30-6:30 for 5 weeks (until end of July).  Every day she has one ballet class and the other class varies (jazz, stretch, yoga).  She is really enjoying it!

1st day!

Last day!

This pretty glass mosaic was on the side of a bank we passed each day and was perfect for pictures!

There were observation classes on the last day, Mommy, Hadassah and Ms. Brittany got to watch Abigail in a ballet class.

Some days we had a babysitter at the house for the other children to stay home, but often they would come along for the afternoon (leave our home 3:15 and get back about 7:30).  We walked down to Lincoln Road for Starbucks or  Slushies a few days but spent most of our time in the great children's area of the library right across from MCB.

free slushies on 7/11!

June dates

Corban and Daddy went on a Sea Turtle Walk at night with MODS!

Abigail and Mommy went to the Plantation library (where she got her own library card for completing our at home reading chart!) and then to MODS science museum!

Hadassah and Mommy went to the Nova Art Museum- the first Tuesday of every month they have free admission and offer special children's programs!  We saw a Frank Stella exhibit (huge, brightly colored, abstract pieces) and then got to do some of our own colorful pieces in his style.

Asher and Daddy went to get haircuts for their date, but Asher wanted to invite Corban with them and so the 3 had boy time together!

Couples date with our community group to a Publix cooking school dinner!

 dinner date and then met the Mannachios for Rock of Ages (only stayed to intermission!)
