53-54 months May & June 2013

Maddy had her last day of Learning Ladder on May 13, 2013.  She loved her first year in a school environment.  She is already asking when school starts again.  We'll see how long that lasts!  At the end of school, Maddy brought home 2 cucumber plants.  We planted and watered them faithfully.  Our good care has paid off because we've harvested 2 cucumbers so far.  It looks like there's a lot more on the way too.

We opened the campground a week late in May due to cold weather which means we'll be closing a week late in Sept.  In the past, Maddy has attended 2 different daycares.  One of Maddy's long-time daycare providers closed her doors in May so she is now going to the same daycare consistently 3 days per week during the summer.

Maddy will be a flower girl in her cousin's wedding in Aug.  The bridal shower for that wedding was held in the late part of June.  She dressed up for the garden party bridal shower to show her support for the bride and groom as seen in the pictures below.

All of us have been busy working at the campground, but we've tried to steal some time for fun too.  Maddy likes to swim, play on the beach with sand toys, ride her pedal bike, hang out with friends & she's learned to pump herself on the swing so she always asks for a starting push.  Maddy had her first Slip N Slide experience in June.  Let's just say she didn't get hurt and can't get enough of that watery fun!

We will try to update the blog again soon, but summer keeps us very busy so our good intentions sometimes don't yield a blog entry.  Happy belated 4th of July!  The heat is definitely on here so hopefully you're enjoying fun in the sun like we are.  Only 7 more weeks until school begins here.
