Hansen Family: Feels Like Summer

Now that the weather is nice and warm it finally feels like summer! Amanda has been taking swimming lessons at the Swim Club in our neighborhood. She knows how to swim quite well, I just did it as a refresher and to fine tune her strokes. Lauren is taking swim lessons at my preschool and she can't wait till she gets to go. The first day she was very hesitant and crying off and on (mostly faking it), but I still made her do it and the next day she went in by herself and there were no tears. Now she can't wait till she goes and realizes it's fun and their's nothing to worry about. Blake has been in a sports camp at his school the past two weeks and LOVES it. The rest of the time we have been hanging out at home, going to see shows at the library as well as participating in the summer reading programs, hanging out with friends and playing at the preschool. This year is nice at the preschool because we have a lot of older kids for the summer. There are about 20 kids from kindergarten to 5th grade. So both Blake and Amanda have kids to play with. We have a lot of fun stuff in the summer there for the kids. Yesterday we had water day where the kids could bring their water guns and play outside. The teachers also get hoses and squirt the slides as the kids slide down. The kids play in fun sprinklers on the grass and make mud castles with the sand. The kids have a blast!!
