The school has a yearly Arts and Science Fair that is a showcase for the entire school (Pre-K thru 12th grade). For the elementary classes they focus on a few different science projects. Both Jack (presentation on the left) and Stephen did projects dealing with animals and they both chose elephants. Both boys did an excellent job.
Emma's class had an Olympic theme for a few days. During this time I got to teach a soccer clinic and then one of the other moms taught field hockey. Since the field hockey demonstration was just outside my office I got to go watch. (I played field hockey when I was younger and it is a sport I still love.) It was fun to watch Emma learn some basics.
These are our kiddos. (The one that is all dressed up is our "adopted" daughter.) It was Jr/Sr Banquet night and we played the honorary role of mom and dad (aka-photographers). Not quite sure we are ready for high school and dating and all of that...
Jack is busy playing soccer. He is doing a great job on the field and in the goal. It is fun to watch! (Stephen is also playing soccer, however since I help coach his team, I haven't gotten any pictures. He is also doing really well, he has scored multiple goals in each game.)
At Jack's "home" field there is a walking path. It is a little over a mile long. Stephen and Emma usually run 2-3 laps while Alex will run up to 5. I think they are crazy! But they are having fun.
The school had a fundraiser at a Lancaster Barnstormers game (independent baseball league). It was fun as the school had a section of seats you could purchase tickets from, so we were close to friends. The game was fun and the home team won, plus the evening ended with a fabulous fireworks display. We are grateful and blessed to be a part of this school family.
And the pool is open for the summer! The water temp is a bit on the chilly side for me but I am sure it won't be long before we are all in the water. Alex is learning to help keep the pool clean. Emma is excited because she can touch the bottom and doesn't need her life jacket. Her goal is to learn how to swim this summer. Again, I am sure it won't take long.
Speaking of Emma learning new things. Here is a video of her after just two or three 15 minute lessons with daddy. No training wheels and even braving the speed bump.

Way to go, Emma, riding your bike with no training wheels!! She was going so fast! Where is the pool at? This was a fun post to read! :-)
The pool is at the house we are currently renting. It was hard getting Emma to understand that it would be there for the whole summer and she didn't have to get back in. She was so cold and shivering but kept asking to go back in. :)
