Playdates & other fun events

Once again I am a bit behind in posts.

You had a playdate with one of your friends from preschool, and even though this happened over the summer I still wanted to talk about it, because it was pretty cute. We met your friend Sadie at thee duck pond, wher you walked around feeding ducks and exploring. It was a fun playdate. You guys had a great time checking out the different ducks, swinging on the swings and walking along the water, even holding hands at one point. Sadie is one of your good friends from school and now you guys are in dance class together as well. You were in the same class last year and got to be in the same class this year at CMP, however both of our families weren't happy w/the new class and we actually decided to try out a new preschool. It's a Montessori school that another few of your friends go to as well. So next week you will be starting at the new school joining the same class as Sadie and Matty. We are excited for this new change and hoping that it's the best thing for you.

Around the same time as this playdate was your last swim lesson for the summer. We saw great improvement this year, however you are still not that excited about going swimming, in fact you usually refuse to go, which is a bummer. After about 20 minutes sitting on the side step you finally decide to go in and by then everyone else is usually getting out of the pool. I am not sure why you feel so comfortable going swimming at the swim school with Mr. Josh and really dislike going with daddy and I, but I hope it changes next year. Cameron on the other hand loves the water, he just splashes around and is super happy!

Another fun outing we had was a "Back yard campout" at the Smith's house. All the kids went on a scavenger hunt, a few late night hikes with flashlights, did a craft, planted some seeds in a pot, ate smores, and slept in the tent with daddy. What a blast! Mommy and Cameron ended up cheating and walking home late at night, but Sascha was already asleep by then. When she realized we weren't going home, she couldn't really understand why? Sascha didn't seem very excited about spending the night in the tent. She wanted your stars ladybug which we didn't bring. We distracted her with projecting thomas the train pictures from a toy projector and then she realized that this can be a lot of fun and stopped complaining.

Another outting we had was to an indoor playground called "Funbeleivable". We met up with your 2 cousins there as well as another few friends, and you had a great time. Even Cameron had a good time in the little toddler play area.
