It's been a beautiful summer, and we've been keeping busy during the long days that Baba is gone to work. Maelin just finished Tues/Thurs swim classes at the at the local community center (she wasn't thrilled with them; there's too much waiting and turn-taking. She'd much rather just flail around in the water un-instructed!), and we put up a 12-foot easy-set pool at home, as well. She's an absolute fish and loooooves the water! She's also been on a couple of boat rides with Baba and his friend Bill.
The park has been another summer favorite. We've gone to several different ones, and she always has fun. Invariably, the other kids playing at the park at the same time are 'my friends' :)
We spent a fun day at the Flint Children's Museum -- what a FANTASTIC place for curious little ones!! Admission was only $4 per person; we left after 3 1/2 hours and Maelin was not even close to being ready to go! They have science stuff (energy, five senses), dramatic play (a stage and dress up clothes, a puppet show area), a play grocery store, and a play pizza restaurant. Toooo fun! And on Tuesdays, they open for free!
Here's a pic from the 4th of July :) Maelin was really excited to see the parade making it's way toward us! That's all for now...

Adorable pics as usual. Summer has been great this year. Haley's had a blast. Trips up north, fishing, driving around in golf carts ,swimming,tubing,paddle boating, bowling league, baseball games, skating, camp fires, hikes, bike rides, parks, picnics,vacation Bible school, and she has one last big trip, she is going to Camp Chris Williams on the 17th for a week. And to think I was concerned about keeping her busy! She is ready to get back to school however. And I'm ready for her to go back...I'm wore out!! She also got a Sorenson VRS a couple of weeks ago! She loves being able to call and recieve calls. She only calls and gets calls from hearing family and friends right now cause none of her deaf friends have the VRS. Glad your summer has been filled with fun too and a safe one, see you next month! Love ya. Hugs
