Reece's Last Day of Preschool...

On May 24th, Reece completed her last day of preschool.  I can't believe my youngest daughter will be in Kindergarten next year!  *SIGH*  I was out of town with Regan on a school field trip so I missed Reece's end of the year party.  Tony was a super dad and not only watched Reece and Riley for three days while Regan and I were away, but he also attended both Reece and Riley's end of the year parties that were on the same day!!!  He was unable to get photos of Riley's party due to a tight schedule but he was able to get some great ones of Reece.
 There was a lady doing balloon art at the party.

 These two are inseparable, as you can see. 
 Reece says goodbye to her teacher, Mrs. Ingold.  Awesome teacher!!!

Regan's Last Year of Recorder...

Regan completed her second and final year of Recorder Ensemble this year.  On May 19th, there was an awards ceremony and Regan received an award for being in Recorder Ensemble for two years.  She has really enjoyed playing her recorder and next year would like to play the flute in the band. 
There was an icecream party of the awards ceremony.
 Here is a short video of one of the concerts they performed in this year.  This concert was at a local hospital on Dec. 9th.
Here is another short video from the same concert.

Y Princess Camp 2011...

On the weekend of May 13 -15th, Tony and Regan had their last Y Princesses Spring Outing Camping trip.  Y Princesses only goes for 3 years so this was Regan and Tony's last year.  But, they can move up to Trailblazers next year and do a lot of fun things.  I don't know if they will stay as a tribe with their group but I do know they will be going on a neat fall outing to the mountains and may go white water rafting.  They had a great weekend and did many fun things such as canoeing, archery, BB guns, shark teeth hunting, raft racing, ran a 5K and most important REGAN DID THE ZIPLINE!!!!  For three years, Tony has been trying to get Regan to do the zipline and she refused.  But, this year she finally did it and not only once but TWICE!  We were so proud of her for trying it and she really enjoyed it.  Way to face your fears Regan!  We were also proud that Regan ran a 5K with her daddy.  She has not been running so to get out there and run without any training is really good!   The third year Y Princesses had to build rafts this year and compete in a raft race.  Regan and Tony's tribe did well in their heat, they got second place.  We don't have many photos this year because Tony was having too much fun to stop and take photos but I can share a few.   
Their cabin - a little more rustic this year and the bathrooms were separate from their cabins.
Regan shooting a BB gun.  She enjoys this very much.
Sweet Daddy/Daughter time
