First Signs of Summer

Finally! Finally! It is starting to feel like summer! This was our first week of summer activities and the weather was nearly perfect each day.

Punky is taking a Lil' Sports Sampler class through our local Park and Rec Department. The class meets for 45 minutes two mornings a week. The first three weeks are soccer and the second three weeks are t-ball. When I registered for the class, Punky was not so sure about taking t-ball, she only wanted to do soccer. But, as soon as I told her she got a t-shirt for taking the class she was ready to play!  Punky really seems to be enjoying soccer (although she wasn't too keen on having her photo taken). I don't know how much she is learning, but the chance to play on a real soccer field and kick the ball around is enough for a 4 year old.

This week also marked our first morning at "Green Town". For the last three years, we've packed a lunch and met with our BFFs (the MG Twins) for the free kid's music concerts.  The weather was BEAUTIFUL and this year, we let the kids dance on stage. Buddy had some crazy moves.

This weekend we headed to the mall and watched another free kid's music concert.  Eventhough it was raining, I dragged the entire family out to see The Okee Dokee Brothers which I consider the best thing since the Fresh Beat Band Beatles. At one point, Derek took the kids to look at some art booths, and I was left alone dancing to my new favorite band. Seriously, check the Okee Dokee Brothers out, they are that good!

For Father's Day, we decided to get tickets to the Twins Game. This was Buddy's first game and thankfully the kids did really well. They asked how long until it was over about every 20 minutes after the 2nd or 3rd inning. And every time we cheered, Buddy asked if the game was finished now. Luckily, the hot dogs, cotton candy, pop, sunflower seeds and the little girl behind us kept them plenty busy.

Check out those freckles!

Happy Father's Day, Derek! We love you!
