Dancing and birthday fun

As soon as we got back from our beach vacation, Emma was off to her annual summer dance intensive!  She looks forward to this every year since the studio brings in guest professional dancers to teach a class for the week!  She learns new dances and then performs them at the end of the week to family & friends!  It was a great time!

Then Ethan turned 9 on Aug 2nd.  Since Erik was working and Emma was at dance, we spent the day together just the 2 of us!  I took him to the driving range, picked out his new Beta Fish Hazard, had lunch at DQ and then he had soccer practice in the evening!

Ethan had a friend birthday party on Saturday evening at Star Lanes.  He had a great time with his friends and I had Emma invite her friend Emily to bowl as well.  The boys and girls had a great time!
