Dance Recital

The girls had their dance recital this past weekend, and they did a great job dancing. It was a 3 hour show (!!) both Fri and Sat. I skipped out early with the girls on my night, since they finished with their routine at intermission.

Disney Vacation at Vero Beach

May 15, 2009 · Filed Under Family · Comment 

We had our first family vacation this past week, and it was a blast! We drove down to Disney’s Vero Beach Resort for a week, with a 2 day stop at Disney World in Orlando. A really nice place, right on the beach with a largish pool and plenty of kids-focused activities. The weather was awesome, no rain the entire week and not too horribly hot although the sun is dangerous as I found out with a wicked burn on the second day.

The girls were a little nervous in the ocean and the pool, we definitely have to get them into swim lessons this summer. Of course, they loved Disney World. Really two completely different types of vacations. The beach was very relaxed while Disney was much more hectic.

T-Ball

May 3, 2009 · Filed Under Family · Comment 

We signed Lily up for t-ball this year, which she initially said she was interested in but now isn’t all that keen on. She had her first game today and it was pretty fun. They play 3 innings, everyone bats and gets on base with the last batter clearing the bases. Takes about 45 minutes in all.

Contrary to the name though, they don’t actually hit off a tee (unless needed). They get 5-6 pitches to hit, after which they bring out the tee if needed. Lily needs the tee :)
