Summer Activities

This summer the Lukas and Corina took swim lessons with the Denton Recreation Center. Lukas was in the Level 1 class, and Corina in the Water Tots class.  Lukas learned the basics of swimming the backstroke and the freestyle.  He still has a habit of more or less running in the water, but when he tries hard enough he can now do an actual stroke.  :)  Corina's class is basically getting your child comfortable in the water.  She asserted her two-year-oldness about half the time, and refused to cooperate.  However when she was participating, she did an exceptional job at swimming.  She is already a bit more of a fish than Lukas was at the same age.

Corina was able to take a short dance class through Denton Recreation Center during the month of July.  Let's just say that she looked adorable, however the class was a learning experience (and a disaster most of the time).  We learned what style of class does NOT work for her (the style where Mommy doesn't participate, but also doesn't leave).  We're going to fix that for the next dance class.  :)

Corina spent a lot of her dance classes in this "formation".  When she did decide to participate, she would do it at a distance.

Lukas was able to go to a Science Camp given by the Denton Rec Center at the end of June.  They did a lot of cool experiments, and he had tons of fun!

Lukas has been blessed to attend two VBS' this year.  In June he went to a Daniel theme VBS hosted by Lake Dallas First United Methodist Church (the church that hosts Footprints Preschool where Corina will be attending in the fall).  He had a blast, and has already requested to go back next year.  And in August he attended Singing Oak CofC's VBS which was an Art Camp theme.  He made some pretty impressive art work during that week.
