Juniper turned 6 this week! We celebrated in the usual fashion with cake and ice cream at our house. It was a busy week with summer activities. The kids went to the Farmington pond one day. We had a pool party on Friday evening and spent a fun day at the zoo on Saturday.
Juniper just finished Kindergarten and really loved it. She was a great student and excelled in everything. Juniper knew all the kids in her class and the goings on. Juniper is still the great nurturer and loves helping out Penny. She has a great imagination and loves playing family with her stuffies and origami cranes. Juni is a great dancer, loves to be tickled and is making progress on the piano. She still has some unusual food aversions and likes plain pickle sandwiches. We love you Juni!
We made it to Disneyland this year. We went 3 years ago before Penny was born. This time we got to see Star Wars land! We drove there on Memorial Day and that turned out to be an extra long drive due to traffic. But the kids were all good in the car and no one got sick! The weather was perfect and crowds weren't too extreme. Penny loved seeing Winnie the Pooh and the Tiki room birds. Paul loved the Haunted Mansion. Juni loved Splash Mountain and Kahlan loved the Matterhorn again.
After Disneyland we stayed in Turlock for a week and then went to Lake Tahoe for a few days. The kids got to play with lots of cousins, go in the pool at Grandma Mimi's, jump on the trampoline at Grandpa Bob's, and play at the lake. They all got a little sun burned for the first time. By day 13 we were all done and ready to go home.
The rest of the time leading up to summer we were busy with painting the house, planting our garden and finishing school. Kahlan took ice skating lessons. We hiked Ensign peak with the kids. One weekend I enjoyed a visit to the SF MOMA with Heather and went to Erik's wedding. But mostly we were counting down the days until Disneyland.
