Almost Summer

We had such a good time in the Wisconsin Dells over Spring break that we decided to head back for Memorial Day weekend.  This time our Illinois BFFs the Hoeltings joined us, and we had a blast.  It's so nice that our kids are all the same age, including the soon to be additions, Christie and I's due dates are about 6 weeks apart, which is the same age difference as their is between Piper and Charlie.  Alec was in seventh heaven with Hayden, and combine that with a resort that has 8 water parks, and you have 4 year old paradise.  Charlie also had a great time, he was more timid in the water than we expected (which compared to most other 14 month olds probably wasn't timid at all,) but he still motored all around and loved it.  We all decided that we are going to make it an annual vacation!  Then on Wed of this week Alec had his end of the year preschool performance.  He was very excited about it and had been singing us the songs for weeks.  It didn't disappoint and was hilarious and adorable all at the same time.  The theme was the "zoo" and Alec was dressed as an elephant.  His last official day of school is next Monday.  Hard to believe that he is already done with his first year of preschool!  Cheers to the start of a great summer!

Not only were Alec and Charlie's matching swimsuits adorable, they were also very easy to spot, which was really nice in some of the crazy crowded water parks.

 

 

Completely entertaining each other in the car.  They are both amazing travelers - a 3.5 hr drive each way and no complaints from either of them.

We couldn't be happier with Alec's school experience.  He loved it, we loved it, he learned a ton and made a bunch of great friends.  He is certainly a socialite and school was nothing but a positive experience for him this year.  We are excited that he gets to spend one more year at Kensington.
