Summer so far...

The girls have been keeping busy as usual. Summer is in full gear with the temps in the 90s everyday. We've discovered the secret to enjoying summer in Florida is to spend every day at the pool. We've been taking advantage of our season passes and the girls have been progressing in their lessons.


At the beginning of the month, the girls got to visit their preschool for Daddy's geology presentation to the summercamp kids. He brought in rock samples and a seismograph. The kids could make earthquakes by jumping up and down. The girls were very proud of their dad.


Then Aunt Chris came to visit while Mark was away at a conference. We spent the week doing fun things like swimming, going to the movies and our favorite the Florida Museum.


The girls are still little art fanatics. They are painting and drawing daily. I'm especially impressed with their painting ability. Here's a picture of Mickey that Lily painted entirely freehand with no help from me. They like to pose their stuffed animals and paint them.


And one of Elsa's self-portraits. I like how she includes lots of small details like all the fingers, toes and eyebrows.


And Super Elsa. This summer is all about imagination games. The girls are constantly pretending, wearing costumes and getting into characters. Sometimes they are super heroes, sometimes they are Santa Claus. They have so much fun together.


edited to add a video from when I was testing my camera. the girls are always talking (and often singing).
