Let there be Space!

Meredith began the journey to getting braces on Thursday when she got her spacers put in between her molars.  Ouch!  4 on top and 4 on bottom.  She has been in PAIN, but it is subsiding now.  The dentist says it is the worst part.  I'm hoping this is true. I thankfully never had to have them.  She gets her metal mouth next Monday.

Friday we went up to Kristin's house for a day of play and Owl Pellet Dissection.

This was a mouse skull that Max found in his pellet.

Thanks, Kristin, for the fun day!

 

Saturday Meredith was in a music recital for her summer singing class.  She participated in their bell choir, sang 4 songs with the group and played a piano solo.

For her piano piece she played a song called Sakura.  She forgot to bring her sheet music and only realized it right before she went on to play.  She pulled it off (a little cautiously).   Both she and her teacher didn't know she had it memorized.



Saturday evening we all had a chance to hit the pool for some fun.

Doug had fun throwing the kids into the air.

Sadly, Meredith was to big to get thrown.  I guess there is a limit to Doug's muscles.  Luke watched from the side and squirted water at everyone while they were in the air.
 

I also got a video of his swimming.

With only 2 weeks left until school starts, we are sad that summer is coming to a close.  We have really loved every minute of it.
