End of June Fun


ChildRoots Day at the Lake

The last weekend of June was a lot of fun.  We had "A Day at The Lake" which is one of the annual events put on by Maddy's school, ChildRoots.  This year we went to Blue Lake Regional Park where the standard pot-luck meal was enjoyed, teacher Corinne provided Face/Arm painting and the kids all darted around the splash pad.  The Flynn Family also attended, as Kieran now goes to school at a ChildRoots center in NW Portland and this added to the fun.

We hosted a play-with-water/pizza party at our home that afternoon and Maddy, Luella and Althea had a lot of fun playing on the play structure, sliding on the slip and slide and monkeying around with water in general. It was a fun, wet afternoon!

That weekend we also had Bob and Nancy's annual garden party (Bob is Steve's colleague at work).  Our family enjoys the garden party which is a very kid-friendly event.  Bob and Nancy always have an activity planned for the kids - this year it was birdhouse painting.  They had a birdhouse for each child and paints, stencils and brushes of all sizes to stimulate little creative minds.  Maddy created quite the masterpiece!
