Marin and Todd picked up a big surprise while out one day. This is Marin's new water toy. We all love it.
Hey Mom I'm on a "big turtle!"
Mommy and Marin floating along.
Mairn learning to swim. This is her coming out of the water. She's very brave but not very good at floating yet.
Happy Birthday America! Marin and Parker went to their Thursday morning story time and Mrs. Wilma gave them these water bottle noise makers and pinwheel headbands. Then later in the day Marin and Parker did a paint project--see the painting behind her on the wall. This was done by dipping or dunking little toy balls into paint and then throwing them onto the paper.
This is how Marin smiles when we say "Marin smile for the picture"
and then this is how she protests smiling.
Later in the evening of the 4th we went to see fireworks in a near by town. It was a lot of fun, however Marin decided she really wanted to go home.
