Dancing fools

Here are, finally, the videos from the girl's dance recital in May. 

Here is Emma's jazz routine:

Sarah ballet:

And finally, Sarah tap:

And here are the girls practicing for a commercial they taped for the dance studio.  If they make the final cut, I will try to post it in August when it comes out:

Zoo fun

We have taken a few trips to the zoo already this summer.  But the first one was with Mimi and Papa and the girls had a blast.

Camel ride:

Feeding the birds:

 Emma was popular with them:

 Train ride:

 Turtle ride?

Mad Hatter Tea Party

The girls went to our local children's garden for the Annual tea party.  This year the theme was Mad Hatter!  The girls don't really know who that is, so they went as brides!

 At the table doing their coloring book while eating rabbit nibbles:

 Sarah with her mad hat and her backwards pocket watch:

And Emma with hers:

And here we are with the girls new version of the wedding march:

Summer fun

Today was the first day of summer break for the girls.  We spent a lot of it at a great local playground:

 The girls loved the "roller coaster" swings:

And the gigantic slide:

Little golfer

Sarah started her golf lessons today and did a great job!  Here she is waiting for class to start:

And listening intently to her instructions:

First up, putts:

Then came chipping:

Then came driving:

Cornell's Got Talent

Emma's school had their annual talent show today.  Emma participated this year and was wonderful!

Happy Birthday Sarah

It is hard to believe that our baby is 4 already.  She had a lot of birthday celebration, but mommy and daddy were bad about capturing the celebrations, but we got a few. 

First up was a celebration with Grandma and Grandpa.  Sarah loved her very pink Barbie cake:

 Showing off her new construction outfit:

And having a concert with her sister on her new keyboard (notice Sarah seems to be a part of the Village People):

 Next up was the friend's party yesterday.  What fun it was.  We had it at the girls' dance studio and they did a great job!

 The Frozen cake:

 Face painting:

 Pinata:

 Dancing with her friends (which mostly meant running around in circles with all the balloons):

The parachute game:

Playing with her new Baby Alive doll:

 And exhaustion.  We just loved that she fell asleep clutching the wand from her goody bag:
