- went to Amelia Island with Corey's family, had an awesome time in the ocean and ate lots of seafood.- co-directed VBS - this happened right after beach vacation, and went better than expected! Some of it was just fear of the unknown, but we had good numbers, the kids had a good time, and we had a successful coin drive for a great cause!
- taught for a second year at Encore Orchestra Camp - this year with 2nd violins in the youngest group. This is a great camp and I have a good time with my orchestra teacher friends. New location, and it was nice not being a newbie anymore!
- have attended several summer reading programs - a juggler performing for the kick-off, then some superhero themed activities.
- went to the zoo with Nancy - great day for it, not too hot, and they have a splash pad now
- went to Fort Yargo - pretty much as soon as school got out!
- went to Sensations Therafun with Jill - David loves the zipline there.
- went to INK with my mom and dad - nice to have multiple adults for that trip!
- went to the Alliance Theater and High Museum with my aunt - saw the Knuffle Bunny Musical - which we now own the soundtrack to and cannot stop singing!
- David was involved in a math institute at his school - this seems like it was a professional development for the teachers there to try out new teaching strategies for math in a small group setting, but David had fun and Sara and I enjoyed a few hours to ourselves
- Sara has been participating in dance/gymnastics classes at the Little Gym again this summer, and has recently switched to an all gymnastics class. This fall both kids will be playing soccer at Mount Zion again.
Lots of pictures of outings on my Facebook, so only a couple here.
Still on the summer fun to-do list:
- Suwanee PlayTown & fountains
- Imagine It Children's museum and Varsity
- Legoland (in Phipps..although I still dream of taking them to the one in Florida!)
- Tellus Science Center? (75 minute drive to Cartersville, but kids enjoyed it last summer)
- Fernbank - we should renew membership and see what the rotating exhibit is..and of course go to Flying Biscuit afterwards!
- Skyzone? We did Catch Air today for 2.5 hours and both kids had a blast. Corey took David to Skyzone last month and he loved it, not sure there would be a lot for Sara to do though.
You know I love my lists. Look for one soon about summer crafts!
