Windy Lake Wenatchee

Well, at least it didn't rain on us, but the weather wasn't so good. But, Olivia was a rock star camper, for sure. She loved hanging in the tent and poking at the fire. But most of all, she will tell you that SMORES were the best part of the vacation.

Recital

So, one week after the big birthday, she had her very first fancy ballet recital. (Sorry, no flash photography or video cameras allowed!)

She had the curtsy down!


Mom is surprised to have gotten a smile out of her - she was super focused on the free cookies for the dancers.

Four 4 IV

The 2nd of June was Olivia's 4th birthday.

She awoke to presents - the favorite, of course, was Totoro. The little guy (?) was looking at her when she woke up. Then she got the movie too!




Then the folks hurried her off to ballet class - which just happened to be the last class of Spring semester, so mom got to watch me perform. AND, Teacher Maygan found out it was her birthday, and everyone sang. Here are some of my shapes from class.





And, then the fun didn't end there. We rented The Dragon Room (her preschool) for loads of fun and sugar. 12 little kids running about make for a tired set of parents by the end of the day. Rock Star Dad even created a treasure hunt game for the kids.
















All in all a fantastic day, which ended in a sleepover at Grandma & Grandpa's house with THE COUSINS!

MY PARENTS SUCK!!!

Apologizing now for the break in Miss Thing's blog... she's been a busy kid, and her parents have been trying to keep up.
