Early in the week Hunter had his very first piano mecital. His teacher doesn't believe in recitals. She thinks that you are there for one person and shouldn't have to listen to 25 other kids play their songs. So only Hunter and his invited guests attend a piano mecital.
Hunter played 3 songs for us and did a duet to Yankee Doodle with his teacher. It was very cute and he did an awesome job. He was so proud of himself. He gave his teacher some flowers for being a great teacher and then Baba got him a little present. As you can see in the pics it is a bag to carry his books in for next year! He was very exicted!!!
All that excitement and the next day was the last day of school for the kids. They had a talent show and water play. They both had complete meltdowns when I picked them up! Luckily the ball games were canceled that night due to rain and we could get to bed early!!
Later on in the week we got news that Hunter and Gunnar have a new cousin Elizabeth!!! She is beautiful and we can't wait to meet her!! Congrats John and Amy!!!
The weekend brought camping and trailriding for all of us! Gunnar started out riding with Muck and then switched to riding with Talyn (his favorite babysitter ever) and then at lunch break he got on with MOM! Mom let him ride in front of her and have control of the reins (for the most part). He did really well and had a blast!!
But lets talk about riding!!! Hunter J started off by being ponied by dad. Did a wonderful job on his donkey teaching him to walk through the creeks and walk over logs and sticks. At lunch Hunter decided he wanted to try it by himself. He was very nervous and scared at first but when he saw his buddy Trevor doing it as well he cheered up. We went through a big field of grass and after that the scary tears were gone and there was nothing but a huge smile on that kids face the rest of the day. He did awesome!!!! Enjoy the pictures! Talyn's mom snapped these on the ride, at the lunch stop and through the field. They turned out good. Thanks Danielle!!
When we got back to the campground we had a crawfish boil and smoked pork loin with TONS of awesome food. The boys played baseball with all of the kids that were camping. I think this was the best part of the weekend. We all just sat around and watched this....it was pure entertainment. We had so much fun over the weekend.
We packed up and headed home on Monday to clean out the horse trailer. We are getting a new one this week so watch out for updates on this :) I think ALL of us are very excited about this!!! The boys spent the afternoon on the new slip-n-slide, it was a gorgeous day out!!
Next weekend we have 3 baseball games a trail ride and a trip to see the Icubs play!! We will update with those activities!! Until then.....
