Storytime In Pajama

We really love our local library on our base. Or, I should say, our previous base. The one we live on now doesn't have a library, but we still go to the one on Camp Courtney ofcourse.

The kids love it and they have so many different activities going on all the time. The pictures below were from an evening in summer when they had "Story time in Pajama" where all the kids got to show up in pajama and listen to stories. Then, they all got their own little teddy bear to keep, and could decorate it any way they wanted.

I think that their teddy bears came out very very cute!

Olympic Spirits

Going through the pictures from summer, and looking for the ones from our move, I came across these from our End of Summer Reading Party. The theme was the, at the time, ongoing olympic games. We didn't get to follow much of it, as the time difference made it very difficult to catch the interesting parts. But, that doesn't mean that we can't celebrate and cheer for our favorites. 

A plus with being a multi cultural family, is that there is almost always a country to cheer for, and if they happen to play against each other, we are always winners anyway. We are always cheering for Sweden, USA and Switzerland. 

At the party, there was a photo booth with lots of props perfect for Olympics. We all love photo booths, and had some fun there for awhile, taking pictures and playing around! The pictures are so cute that I need to share!! 

Pool & Movie Day

End of July, our pool on Courtney closed down due to leaking problems, so to get the most of it before, I tried to take the kids a lot the last week. The very last day before the closing, I took the kids very early as soon it opened on a Sunday, and we were the only ones there. The kids had the whole kid pool for themselves and had a great time playing and running around!

The only ones at the pool- the ones in the big pool are the life guards that are cooling off.

Super divers! Getting all the things from the bottom of the pool!

Picnic lunch at the pool!!

Cheese!

Ready for the big pool!

After the pool, a shower at home we decided to go to the movies at 3pm. Cassie came with us to the movies, something that isn't very common anymore! We watched the new Ice Age movie, the kids thought it was good!

Library Time

Every Thursday throughout the summer, they had Story/Craft time at the library, which was part of the Summer Reading Program. It was always nice to get the kids out and do something fun, and the staff at our library is wonderful and had lots of fun for the kids planned. Here are some pictures from one of the times we were there.

Craft time was to make a picture with an under water theme. Ben, who is our little artist, always love these things, and got into it right away!

I love his patience and how wonderfully he colors!

Ben's finished masterpiece!!

Isabella's finished masterpiece!!

Playtime At Xystus

In the beginning of August, in between packing and getting ready to move, I took the kids to an indoor play land to escape the heat and humidity for a few hours one afternoon. We met up with friends there, a family that we had sponsored in July, and the kids were happy to see each other and play.

 Trying to look as grumpy as the tree in the middle of the play land!
