Behind our complex we have a hill that has a little trail. One morning we decided to venture out and check it out. We saw some cactus, more cactus, and other spiky bushes. At the top was a pretty view and a nice breeze. We had fun hiking, even if it got really warm and the kids were too tired to walk home.
Riley and Murray were scorpion hunting in the Pratt’s backyard. They found one but they also found this gecko!!! So of course it was instantly our new pet. Rhylan named it leopard, because it looks a lot like the leopard geckos they sell at the pet store.
The weather has still been SO HOT. The high today is 105*. We have a pool at our apartment complex and have gone a few times. Gracin seemed jealous that Rhylan could float around the pool wherever she wanted and he had to hang out with me. (She has a swimming vest and arm floaties.) So I got him this thing. I think they are so funny looking but hey it works. Once we put him in it we were cracking up. Look at his muscles!! Oh and that cute little bum:) he loved being independent in the pool. The next day he kept bringing me this suit and saying “pool!!”
Yesterday was the first day of ballet class for Rhylan. She has been so excited and asking every day if today is the day!! I think she looked so beautiful in her outfit. Thank goodness for dress up clothes, all she needed was the shoes. I had to sit outside the building, and peek in through the windows. She was a good listener, obeyed the teacher, tried to do every new move and loved every second. There was a part at the end of class when they got scarves and got to dance to the music. From the outside it looked like that was her favorite part, a smile was ear to ear! But when she came out she said she loved everything, but her favorite part was the ballet skips!
