Karokee Fun! And Publicity!

This summer was awesome! Especially with the karokee nights! We went out once a week and sang and danced and had a blast! Because we went ALL the time, I got to know the Karokee master and his bosses, and they asked me if I would do a publicity shoot for them, to help them advertise their Karokee services! What a thrill!



These first few photos are from the publicity shoot, that are most likely going to bet published! Super excited!




The rest of the photos are fun ones that we took during the summer! Enjoy!

Renaissance Fair

One of our summer treks was to the Renaissance Fair! I brought the camera, to try and get some pics of the characters and got some real funny shots.


Knut the Cat

The Viking Day Care


Charging Pirate during the Pirate Parade!

Not sure of the name of this little creature, something with 'Sugar' in it, but Isabelle loved it as it climbed all over her arms and up onto her shoulders
Hungry Skeleton

A visit with royalty!
The Queen taught Isabelle how to courtsey and gave her a specail butterfly broche.

Lots of fairies were all over the place...

As were weird masked men...

... and Goat Boys.

These Knights werent' to keen on all the fairies...

Look closely!

The knights are covered in fairies that crashed into them.

Fairy Dwelling

Isabelle looooved the fairies the BEST, so her fairy treat was a flower petal hat.

And of course a photo opp with 'real fairies'

Face painting!

And some posing with a skeleton of course!!!

Isabelle loved the guy and wouldn't stop talking to him. Her friend Aiden was a little more apprehensive, but she finally coaxed him into getting close enough to the skeleton to get a pic.


Swimming

This summer Isabelle had her second year of swim lessons and graduated into the next level! YAY! Of course that she had to do a 'bob' and go under water to move up a level. That mango smoothie in her hand is that thing called a bribe! Under water she went! Of course, negotiations then started... strawberry smoothies were for jumping in the pool and going under.




Most of this summer's swim lesson were videoed, so ther arent that many photos.


At the last swim lesson there was a pirate party... so with a life vest, Isabelle was able to and wanted to swim 'all by herself' and she did!

Even William had fun at the pirate party and got in the pool.

But it is a better view up here to see the dragons!

Of course I had to grab the camera and get a photo before I scolded him and moved the table.

Super tired kiddos! They had a busy summer!


Cheese!

Isabelle reads stories to her brother

He loves to play withhis sister!
And her dolls.

Summer Fun In Photos - Isabelle

We have had a lot of random summer fun and adventures! Instead of stories for catching up purposes, I figured pictures would be better and more entertaining in some cases.


Our new jacket!

As a family we went to 'Build a Bear' to build a Smurfette, and then Daddy and Isabelle went to the movies! For her first thearter movie, she watched Smurfs!





Isabelle planted three flowers all on her own and was so proud! She dug the holes, put the flowers in the holes, put the dirt back and watered them!

We hit lots of parks and playgrounds and went for short hikes all summer,
(at least when the weather permitted).



These two drew eachothers portraitsLots of hamock fun with funny faces
Isabelle also helped plant and harvest our sweet peas!
