Fishing Derby and Juggling

The first weekend in June was the annual fishing derby. Nick and Noah went again to try to catch a big one. They didn't catch him, but they did catch this cute little guy. Funny enough, they ended up sitting right next to one of Wyatt's La Petite friends who recognized Noah and asked where Wyatt was (apparently everyone but us thinks they look exactly alike). Next year, Nick will have to take both boys. Nick and Noah even scored their picture in that week's paper!

While those two were at the derby, I took Wyatt and Charlotte to a juggling show, hosted by the local library. We snagged front row seats and the kids were pretty well behaved during the course of the show. At the end, all of the kids were invited up to try some balancing and juggling of their own with peacock feathers. It was a nice, free event to kick-off our summer.

Goodbye La Petite

Way back in April 2011, we enrolled Noah at La Petite for daycare. We only needed one day a week at the time and they were the only facility that had room for a one-day a week infant. Luckily, we really liked it and eventually enrolled all three of them there despite being located on the other side of town. Last year we started to have some trouble when Wyatt was prevented from moving into the preschool classroom and the quality of the teachers they were hiring seemed to drop. When a spot for Wyatt (Charlotte's room had spots all year) finally opened up at a center closer to our house, we seized the opportunity. Wyatt and Charlotte had their last day at La Petite on June 2nd. We are going to miss the families there, some of whom we've known for over six years. We will also miss a few teachers, although our favorite ones have already moved on. Here is the final photo montage of Wyatt and Charlotte at La Petite, in no particular order, during their last few months at school.
