Summer Jams!

Greetings!


This week Elsa and Jonas practiced up on their music.  You can see their band's formative years in the videos above:)

We spent the week playing and singing.  Our local park hosted a kid's concert where the kid's band the "Not it's" performed.  They wear pink tutus and have a lot of energy!  Elsa put her pink tutu on and was so excited to hear the band perform.  We noticed that it was the first time that she has seen a live band perform with a female lead singer.  The singer was great and gave Elsa several high fives before the show and complimented her on her pink tutu too!  How sweet!

Earlier on that same day, we found new playground.  It was very exciting.  Lots of slides and things to climb!  After playing hard, we went to pick raspberries!  After picking a couple and eating several more, we refueled at a lunch out at a local nursery. 

Later in the week, we went swimming at a wading pool!  Elsa and Jonas were so excited!  Elsa practically dove in the second she saw the pool.  Jonas warmed up to it and was having a blast.  We didn't play marco polo, but we had so much fun having a picnic lunch with our friends!

Elsa and Jonas spent the next day swimming at the lake with Grandma Jeanne and Grandpa Paul.  They went down the slide into the lake countless times! 

Friday was Day out with Thomas!  Jonas got to realize a life-long ambition to ride Thomas the train.  We spent the day with our friends riding trains, playing, and listening to great music.  While Jonas was excited to ride the train, Elsa was equally excited to hear her favorite performer, Eric Ode, sing.  And he was wonderful!  He played for a long time and Elsa and Jonas loved his music.  At the end of his set, he was kind enough to let Elsa get her picture taken with him:)  What great memories!

We arrived home tired and very, very, very happy!

 Elsa loved her tattoo too!
 While we didn't get a photo of the actual thomas train...Elsa liked this poster:)
Jonas wanted his picture in front of the diesel trains...very contentious decision
God Bless,
