Here are some fun things we did in the month of June, pre-trip:
June 1
I gave Elisa a hair cut! She had gotten her hair cut a month or so before, but she wanted it even shorter. She asked me if I could cut her hair. I said ok, even though I don't really have much experience in cutting girl's hair. I went slow though, and mad sure to cut evenly. I think it turned out cute! She seems happy with her new hair cut

Ian performing "Yellow Bird", a West Indies Folk song. We used the steel drum setting. I don't actually know if the steel drums are playin in the West Indies or not, but whatever. Gabe Played this at last year's spring piano recital, which means Ian is only a year behind Gabe in his piano books, even though they're six years apart! Way to go, Ian!

June 3-A church friend invited us to go with them and a few other friends up to Lake Pleasant. I've never been there up until this point, and now I'm wondering why! The admission to get in was $7 per vehicle. We had a really great time. The water was clear and cool but not cold. The air was warm but not stifling. We don't own any paddle boards or canoes but the others that came did, so we were able to use theirs. The kids had a great time. I even got in the water, after paddling Ian to a little island not to far. Gabe and I got a little sunburn but not too bad. Elisa just got tanner. She sure enjoyed playing in the water with her friend Lily! I packed a lunch and the kids ate everything. I hope we get to go back sometime soon! I can't believe we've had a nice swimming lake so close (only 1/2 away) and have never been.
So much lake fun!

I spent $75 to rent this French horn, so I figured Gabe may as well learn it before I take it back later this month. I had him watch several YouTube videos on how to play the French Horn, and now he can play at least five notes on it!

Ian following Dad around the back yard, hopefully helping.

While Gabe was at YM camp, Ian happily went into Gabe's room and borrowed all of his Mario Plushies and set them up in is own horrendously messy room!

I finished two luau shirts for both Ian and Aiden to wear when we go to Hawaii. They were quick and easy to sew up. I even ordered buttons made from coconuts for the shirts. I can't wait so see the boys in Hawaii in these shirts. I kinda wish I had bought the rest of the bolt so I could make Gabe and Calvin a shirt, too. No matter, I ran out of time before our trip anyway. Oh well.

June 8-10
Some of the dads sent us these pictures of the boys on the campout. He was excited about going. It looks like Gabe had such a fun time! I'm super glad, because I was worried he would be too shy to keep up with the other boys. Camping is good for boys.

So lucky that you got to go to Lake Pleasant. Nice shirts that you made for Elisa, Ian (not Gabe) and Aiden. Great that Gabe had a fun time at camp.
