Beauty & the Beast ...& the Gypsies

Charlotte and Kasey were in Prarie Fire Theatre's production of Beauty and the Beast on Saturday. It was a week long theatre camp at St. Scholastica. They both were cast as 'Gypsies' and Kasey landed a larger speaking role than Charlotte. This really surprised no one, but one particular family member was really annoyed!

Carson's 1st soccer game

"I can't wait to get back in there" he said when the coach was rotating players. It was the first time I've seen him get competitive with sports and fun to watch him get excited when he scored a goal. At this age, they play 4 on 4 with no goalie. The coaches are on the field with them to remind them of such things like which goal to try kick the ball into.

I want to be a Lake Girl

We were fortunate to be able to spend a week in the Brainerd Lakes area this summer.  The kids really enjoyed spending time with Uncle Charley and Auntie Trish.  What a great week!

Carson played 'Star Wars - Hot Lava Battle' with his light sabre wherever possible.

Uncle Charlie triumped in the turtle race.  He beat out several preschool and elementary children.

Charlotte and her Creative Dock Jump.  Nice form.

Kasey (aka Perch Whisperer)

The adults did a lot of this...

and this.

We even did some of this...

But Carson was the only one who did this.

I think we are all having a bit of trouble adjusting to being back in our 'real' lives.
