Friend's birthday party

We arrived a bit late (after swimming) but still had a blast at S's birthday party!  Lauren painted a cupcake ceramic and everyone participated in the treasure hunt on the roof.  Friends, fun, pizza, pigs in a blanket, park, cake and loot bags -- of course everyone had a great time - thanks for having us!

Beach Clean-up with mommy's company

This Saturday, I took the girls along with me to MUFG's Beach Cleanup event on Lamma Island.  We spent time cleaning the beach (filling 28 garbage bags) and then had a nice seafood lunch at Peach Garden Restaurant. The girls did great at picking up trash from the beach and even said "I don't understand why people can't just throw garbage in the garbage!" and "Isn't recycling even better?" 

Soccer and swimming

This term it's soccer for Ashley and Lauren, gymnastics for Natalie and swimming for all of them.  Natalie already has experience with gymnastics during summer camp in Toronto and is enjoying the lessons with Olivia.  Lauren is in a class with only boys (she is the only girl) and the teachers are very impressed with her can-do attitude. And Ashley enjoys the different activities and music in her little class with Emily.
