Its not summer until you pull out the slip-n-slide.

After school we went to the ice rink in the neighborhood and skated with friends.

Piano Recital 2010

Max started taking piano lessons in January. Here is his first recital.

After School Fun

Butterfly Release

Max came home from school and we kept hearing this thud thud. Finally we realized our chrysalis had opened and our butterfly was trying to get out.

Max Gets Baptized

Our church was having their annual beach party at the local natatorium. During the party they also do baptisms. We had asked Max prior to the party if he was ready to be baptized and he was certain that the answer was no - he wanted to wait until middle school. We knew spiritually he was ready but knew the water might be an issue. He wanted to know how deep it was, what if he couldn't touch, what if he drowned, etc... We calmed all of those fears but told him he could get baptized whenever he was ready, that everyone has to make that choice for themselves. On the night of the party, he looks over to me and says I am going to be baptized tonight. What? A little warning would have been nice, could of put on the good bathing suit, charged the camera, went to the baptism meetings. Our children's pastor talked with Max once we got there to make sure he understood what baptism meant and the decision he was making. According to Max - he (Max) had all the right answers. So in true Max fashion of doing things his own way and in his own time he was baptized.

One of the great things about leaving the beach party at dusk after the baptisms is the fireflies that are in the field outside.

Math Song Performance

Each class has a turn performing for the school at the morning assembly. Max's class performed math songs.

Later that day we celebrated the teachers birthday with popsicles.

Nasa Park

We met a friend in the scorching heat at a new park that has all kinds of space themed toys.

Butterflies 2010

We went to the annual butterfly festival sponsored by the Kiwanis.

We brought home our own chrysalis to see if it would turn into a butterfly.
