long jumps

The kids love when I mark their long jumps. Thomas learned this week that he can jump the same distance as the soles of his feet to the top of his ears.

Postings to this blog have slowed down, way down. With Thomas heading into Kindergarten next month, I think this blog will soon come to an end. It's been a great way to let everyone know what we're up to and how we're doing but I think the time has come. Originally I thought I would end it when Meredith was born -- and that was over three years ago! There will be a few more posts as we enjoy the rest of our carefree summer days, but we'll shut it down in the early Fall...

Legoland Water Park

Today was our first visit to Legoland's new Water Park. It was so much fun, we may have to go every day! Meredith stayed close to me and preferred to play in the shallow end with her friend, Rebecca. She also really enjoyed the lazy river. Thomas and his pal Allison had a fantastic time playing all over in the pool and esp. enjoyed the open and closed water slides. It was his first experience with those and he loved them!
