May Holiday Fun

I will start backwards, as I loaded the pictures that way! Today I bought at our local store badmitton rackets for both kids. Miriam's home school co-op is starting a badmitton unit so I thought it would be good to practice at home too. If you want a good laugh give a racket to a 2.5 year old boy- it becomes a sword! Watch out!

I love this shot- bottom out, tongue out- baby brother in the way! By the end of the afternoon she was getting how to serve the birdie!

Thursday through Saturday was a National Holiday here - May Holiday- like Labor Day in the states. We went to a local park for some water fun. Here is Joab and the kids inside a huge water wheel. The idea was the run in it (like a mouse) to turn it and go around the pond. They did not get very far- but had a lot of fun.

Side shot of the wheel. Joab would turn the wheel and then the kids would tumble around inside- we had the whole shore line laughing at them!

I made cinnamon rolls to celebrate the days off. Tasted almost like my Mom's- which is a real feat! I made extra to give to some neighbors and I think they liked them too.

Side note- from the Holiday-

Emily- "Miriam how do you feel that Rosabella died?"

Miriam- " I am a little sad"
