Summer Vacation is Almost Here!

One more week until Summer break! Hooray! This last week has been pretty stressful with finals going on. I have spent a lot of early mornings going over test questions and flashcards. Finally, we are at the final countdown of the semester. Thank goodness.

Despite the heavy studying I have been doing, we have still managed to fit some fun into our schedules. Here are some of the things we did this week:

We had a backyard BBQ at Crystal and Tyler's house. They invited us and alot of our other friends-good food, and good fun. The weather here is getting warmer and warmer every day!

We went to the North Coast nature festival. This was a ton of fun- there were booths with information, and there were lots of fun animals. Here, we see Evelyn being introduced to a skunk, Rachel holding a boa constrictor, and a couple of cute owls. There was also a trail that we walked on that took us around a pretty pond. This week has been especially full of animals for Rachel, who went to the Zoo on Monday with her friend, Diane.

For family night we went on a picnic in the park. Like we said, the weather is getting so nice it is hard to stay indoors. This park at Horseshoe Lake was awesome! There was a big spider web thing that you could climb around in, and there were bouldering rocks where we could challenge each other on different moves. In this picture Rachel is demonstrating how to climb without the use of her upper body.

And of course we need to show some pictures of the cutest member of our family. Evelyn is getting very good at bathtime. She hardly cries anymore when you put her in the water, which is a big improvement over her first time at the hospital. Also, we were able to capture her "smile sequence" on film for all to see. So cute!
