Kentucky Kingdom

Caitlin completed her reading challenge in record time.  They were going to Kentucky Kingdom this year and Rusty and I decided to tag along.  It was hot as hades on Saturday!!  We were thankful for the water park!!

Do you see this slide?  It's a straight drop down!  Caitlin, Rusty and Stephanie (and Carson, Steph's nephew) all did it.

 

Caitlin and Carson wanted to play carnival games and win some stuff.  Caitlin won a monkey for Alaina but she really wanted one of the Pokémon dolls too.  She couldn't win it and needed Rusty to win for her.  So he did, even if it meant he had to beat this poor little boy that we didn't know.  Rusty felt so bad because the boy really wanted to win too.  :(

Spa Day

Alaina got to be a part of a reading challenge from Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Ben.  After completing her reading, she got to have a spa day.  This girl loves to be pampered!  Thanks Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Ben!!

Finally!

So today at lunch I got a phone call from Rusty.  He said Alaina sent me a video and wanted to hear my reaction when I watched it.  This was it:

She finally was able to do her kickover!! Someone is going to get a medal next Tuesday at gymnastics class!!

Gymnastics

I just had to document this little monkey.

She has been working on her bridge kickover at home and wanted so badly to pass it off Tuesday night.  She just couldn't get it yet.

Music Video

While playing one day, Caitlin decided to film a music video.  Here's Alaina's debut!

Life lately

For the last few weeks, Caitlin and Alaina have been getting along really well.  They play together all day, take cute selfies, want to sleep in the same room, buy each other gifts with their saved money.  It is so sweet!!



Car selfies

She's becoming a pro at the art of the car selfie!
