Discovery Park with Friends



We met several families at Discovery Park after the Space Camp. They kids had a great time and they all played so well together. Nicole is moving in a few weeks, so we are trying to get together as much as we can before they leave. Sabrina gave Evelyn a friendship necklace.

Library- Space Camp



Sabrina and several of her friends participated in a Space Camp at the library. Sabrina shared more about spending time with her friends than what they did in camp.


I got to spend time with two of my best friends while waiting on our kids.

Seedling Theater- Summer Camp- Comic Book Artist

Alex and Sabrina were in a week long Summer Camp for Seedling Theater. They spent three hours at Seedling every day and 8 hours on show day, when they performed the show twice. That doesn't include the time at home learning lines. The play was called Comic Book Artist and these kids were absolutely amazing! At first I was intimidated by the size of the script, thinking there was no way these kids could do it in less than a week's time. They proved me wrong bigtime!





Sabrina played 5 different parts. She nailed each one. She was mainly Minutos 1, but she also did Marvelous Meow!, and played three different random girls. Notice the many different costume changes she had to do. The owner of Seedlings, Mrs. Kris, told me that Sabrina did a great job and that she was also a great stage hand who knew where everything was and where everything should go. During the play Sabrina helped move the props and double checked that everything was in place. 






Alex played the main villain, Dr. Shock Clock!  It was like the character was written just for Alex. He became Dr. Shock Clock. He wanted his villain to be a dignified villain, who was still very clearly a villain. 


All of the kids did an amazing job. It was a really good play too. I am so thankful that we had to opportunity to sign the kids up for this Summer Camp and we definitely plan on signing them up again next year. 


Sabrina was very happy that her best friend, Evelyn was also in the play. 


Alex became friends with the hero and exchanged contact info so they can keep in touch.

Sammy's Birthday Party


We were invited to a pool party at the same rec center we normally go to. The b-day girl loves mermaids, unicorns, and Lego; so we got her a Lego set and Unicorn Twisty Petz. She was excited about both gifts. The party was in the early afternoon so I became a lobster even with sunblock, (I should have reapplied). Despite that we had a great time.

Library- Teen Mario Cart Tournament


My friend, Nicole told me about the teen Mario Cart Tournament at the library near her house. She signed Alex's friend, Jack, up. While we were there, their other friends Andrew and Noah showed up to participate in the tournament too. 


Sabrina and Evelyn played with Lego in the Children's Section. We gave them a topic and they each made a Lego creation based on that topic. Nicole, Dan, (Andrew and Noah's Dad) and I voted on the best. 

It was very nice. The kids got to hang out with their friends and I got to hang out with mine.

Seedling Theater- Summer Camp- Comic Book Artist


Alex and Sabrina are both taking a Summer Camp at Seedling Theater. Sabrina's best friend, Evelyn surprised her by secretly signing up for the camp too. So fun! They will perform the play on Saturday. They find out who they get to be tomorrow. Alex wants to be the villain and Sabrina wants to be one of his henchmen. Update- They already posted the cast list. Alex, Sabrina, and Evelyn all got the characters they wanted! They might have to play some minor characters as well.

Friend's Birthday



We were invited to a pool party for Sabrina's friend. I had no idea what the birthday girl likes so I asked her Mom. Sabrina bought one DC SuperHero Girl doll and I bought the other. Marcella's face lit up when she opened Sabrina's gift and she was just as excited about the other one.
