We went to Harborfest today to see the tall ships and listen to the music.

Cool Day in June
Today was 62 degrees and we enjoyed the cool weather by trying out a new park. The kids enjoyed a treat for being good at the tea shop and then monkeyed around. After the playground Brooke and Alex wanted to hike different trails. So we flipped a coin and ended up hiking Stumpy Lake. It was a nice break from the hot weather!
Chesapeake Care Center
Today I started volunteering at the Chesapeake Care Center one day a week while the kids are at school. It is a great organization that provides free medical care for those without insurance run almost entirely by volunteer RN, MA, and MDs.
Alex attempting his first quiet time
Alex has initiated the transition to skipping his nap. On this first day he attempted to do a quiet time but didn’t quite make it. Right now he is still largely napping with about one quiet time (followed by a very fussy evening) a week.
Brooke’s 5 Year Well Child Check
This Monday Brooke had her 5 year old well child check. She did great chit chatting with Dr. Mink and answering all his questions about her activity, what colors and letters she knows, how much she ‘reads’, and what vegetables she likes to eat. She passed her hearing and sight test and didn’t need any shots this year (thank you 4 year old well check)! She is 49.1 inches tall and weighs 53 lbs. Dr. Mink things she will be over 6’1” as an adult. Afterwards, we had a little Mommy/Daughter date of lunch at her favorite restaurant and some fun at the park.
