The last few weeks, the kids have been participating in some fun summer activities! First, Luke took a week of private swim lessons from twins that go to our church and are lifeguards at the pool. Luke had a great time!
Standing in the pool by himself! I had no idea he’d be able to stand with his head above water yet!
Getting ready to “swim” under the rope – he was wearing goggles, which really helped him want to stay under longer. He was very proud that he went under the rope twice during that lesson, and announced it to the whole pool!
Earlier this week, Luke was able to take a “Stop, Look, and Listen” class through Parks & Rec to help prepare the kids for preschool and kindergarten. He had a lot of fun with his friends:
Copying animal sounds and movements from a book…
Following verbal directions to do a craft project (no visuals, just spoken directions)…
Playing “Red Light, Green Light…”
And making a snack based on photo directions. Hopefully the class helped him understand how he will have to listen to the teacher at preschool in a few weeks.
Lastly, while Luke has been at “Grandparent Camp” in Peck this weekend, Beka was able to go to a Parks & Rec class all by herself! She did pretty well for her first official time participating!
Kitchen utensil painting.
Putt Putt Painting.
And painting on bread with colored milk.
The finished (toasted) product was yummy!
Beka also attended a 5th birthday party for her friend Tuley today – she was all dressed up for the Princess (and Pirate) party!
