Week 2: Encore Camp - Artventure!
Sounds like you had a great week and you came home with lots of art work. :)

Week 3: Swim Lessons - Free
Ya'll spent the week with Audrey doing lots of fun things, including swim lessons. I let you and Carter pick between some fun activities that cost money and then some free library events in the afternoon.

Monday - Dave & Busters and Library Science event
Tuesday - Bike riding and chill time
Wednesday - Monkey Joes and Library Science event
Thursday - Bowling, Chik fil a, and Library Food Science event
Friday - Lego Batman movie at the Library and Adv Sci Center

Week 4: Ohio Trip with the Taylors
Sounds like ya'll had a great time playing, jumping, and going to King's Island. You got sick 1 night and even threw up a couple times, but insisted on coming out to the fire pit. Luckily you seemed fine the next and made it to King's Island. :)

Ya'll came back on Wednesday, finished up swim lesssons and had a couple chill days with Audrey. Ya'll saw Captain Underpants, went to the library, and the Frist.

Ms. Debbie said you are doing great and even recommended you consider joining a swim team. I said I would chat with you about it. She would like to work a little bit on stroke form and recommending either doing private lessons next year or an intermediate level group class.
 

 

 

 

 


Week 5: St. Cecilia Baking Camp
You seemed really enjoy baking camp and we enjoyed all the yummy treats. You also said you liked doing a half day camp since you got some free, down time in the afternoon.

Week 6: St. Louis Mini-Vacation
See Vacation Pics -

Later that week - you had free time with Audrey that included a trip to the movies, the Discovery Center, and the Turnip Green Reuse.

Week 7: Adventure Science Center - Roller Coaster Camp
Sounds like this camp was pretty fun - plus Daphne, Elias, Carmen and some other friends were there. You had fun doing all the experiments and testing some physic hypotheses.

Week 8: Free/Mini-visit to Memphis to hang with Lily
Ya'll did Circus World, fed birds, and swam at Tony's when you were in town with Audrey.
No pics from your Lily visit and we didn't really chat. I think you stayed up really late, went to the Children's Museum and a trampoline place.

Week 9: Ninja/Parkour Camp
You and Ainsley were the only 2 girls by the end of week. You were awesome tackling the challenge, making up the warped wall and almost hitting the bell on the rope! So proud!

St. Louis Vacation

Maevy-girl-

You were wonderful - as usual. We laughed a lot at your brother and sister - and for the most part every one got along - a Taylor miracle! You walked a lot and didn't complain. And best of all - we had lots of fun!

Your highlights were:
1. Helicopter Ride
2. Sea lion show
3. Zoo train
4. Baseball game/light show at Union Station

You had the cutest quote of the weekend when we were on the helicopter and I was taking a video - and unsolicited - you said "We're on a helicopter. :)" You were worried at first, but then said you would do it as long as I didn't surprise you again and make you jump out of the helicopter. :)

Last day of baking camp  - getting ready to go - I love laughing Maevy photos. I yelled at you to get your foot out of my face! June's got her typical - you people are nuts - look. 


Day 1- Arrived at the hotel, grabbed this super hero photo, swam, and ya'll headed to the baseball game with Daddy -
