Adventures over the Weekend - Ballet, Camp Outs, Play Dates and Lobster

True to Bigler style...we had a fun and full weekend.  Friday night started off with lots of good finger painting (body painting) and then a late pool session.  Saturday morning I got to play tennis for an hour and when I came home, Gabby had put make-up on Lilly with markers! We hit the gym and then when we got home, it was time for Gabby's recital.  Hair, make-up and costume...takes longer than one would think! She did a great job and has decided that she really likes ballet and would like to continue dancing!  This year she was in the actual ballet which was Babes in Toyland. She was a China Doll. She wanted a longer part and I told her that the older she got and the more experience she had, the longer her part would be. She is so excited for the potential. After the recital, we hurried home and had the Kandel's over for a swim play date. The girls swam for 2 straight hours and had a blast! They also did a little finger painting :)  Saturday night, we did a girls only camp-out in the backyard. Lilly decided about 10pm that she didn't like the dark and the noises and went inside to her bed. Maddy and Gabby stuck it out in the tent with me. It was not my best night sleep...and the morning started at 5:15 (once it is light) so Sunday was a long day!  We had a full Sunday with a bike ride to the park, then to Reagan school, then we went to the clubhouse and had an impromptu swim play date with the Klassen's. The girls swam for another 2 hours and had a picnic at the pool.  Nap time came and went really fast! We then made a special dinner for Father's Day which was lobster.  The girls tried the lobster - I wouldn't say they liked it, but our rule is to at least try something new.  It was a great weekend and we welcome the week that provides a little more structure.  Gabby is back at math and reading camp (she loves to help pack her lunch in the mornings), Lilly is at LRSH and Maddy has had several babysitters and is enjoying the variety (while Cheyenne is on vacation).  All in a weekend at the Biglers...
