Seek & Reach the Beach is a summer program at our Church for rising 1st-6th graders. Sophia qualifies this year and since I agreed to help chaperone Lilly is allowed to come too.
The theme is "Animals" and so far we've been to a Bee Farm and a REAL FARM....which had tons of dogs and cats running around, tons of horses, birds, peacocks, countless chickens - but mostly horses! Get this: I held a CHICKEN! Yep. Here's the proof. Pretty darn disgusting!!! I may be smiling, but I was freaking out on the inside and quickly let go.
Sophia was too chicken (pun intended) to ride on the horse, but she was cool on the hay ride. Lilly was a little leery of the hay ride and loved riding the horse. In fact, that night at dinner Will asked her if she'd like to take lessons and she quickly said yes. Hmmmm.....that's my next project: Lining up our schedule for the school year.
So far, here's what we're thinking: Both girls are trying out gymnastics classes tonight. Separate classes. This would replace their Thursday evening dance classes. Sophia talked about taking acting classes for a while, but now she seems to want to try gymnastics. I'm not going to stop her. It's a great form of exercise and maybe she will actually enjoy it. She likes to jump that's for sure. Lilly said she would prefer gymnastics to dance even though she loves dance and seems to really be doing well with it. We can always switch back. Lilly will continue to take her music class and Sophia and I will continue on with Girls Scouts: Year Two Daisies.
Anyway, back to the farm.....here's Lilly riding the giant horse, Noodle. The kids had a great day.
