Soccer camp

Just a few images from soccer camp so far this week. Been tough week with a full schedule of activities. We're running Belle to soccer and Lilly to swimming.

A is for ant

Belle: I like the ants. I love them. I want to go to school with them in kindergarten. I could hide them under my desk. They are making tunnels. They are living with their family. I been walking around with them yesterday. They have to have their breakfast. We gave them sugar water to eat.

Lilly: They live in their home. They go to farms. I been squeezing water in them. That's all.

Swimming lessons

Belle: I like my teacher, Whitney. I like jumping in the water and blowing out my nose. Because I just tried it. I learned how to kick back and forth and floating on my back. I like bringing my goggles. I want to bring them every day. I like sitting on the wall and waiting my turn.

Lilly: Sarah’s very good at letting me laying like you’re in bed and laying in the water. Blowing bubbles. She says laying under water and we’re going to do something else. I have to put my hands on top of the board and then she hold on to me tight and I gotta and the board like, I was trying to keep on it but it floated away and Sarah caught it. That’s all.

Happy Birthday to Belle!

Belle got her wish on her 5th birthday -- to meet Mr. Jack Hanna and his animal friends. She and Lilly petted a Fennec fox tonight. Belle was so enthralled with him she then quizzed Jack Hanna's employee on his eating habits.

The girls enjoyed the show. Both loved the cheetah. Belle also enjoyed the wallaby. If this isn't a ringing endorsement for Jack Hanna, I don't know what is -- Belle said after the show, "Daddy lets go into the forest so I can get some animals and have my own animal show."
