Month in Review

The month of May, in review:

Lola received a medal for "Gym Bus" which is a mobile gymnastics program for little kids.  She LOVES Gym Bus Thursdays and wears her Gym Bus shirt and excitedly reports about her experience during the ride home. 

See the pride?  She slept with her medal as a lovey for weeks.

Whomptons wear hats all the time.  Raina and I have a matching pair.

Lola tried it out too. 

Raina and her best friend Isabel.  This play date had a disastrous middle, in which Raina and Isabel decided to cut their hair.  Raina trimmed a few pieces of hers, and Isabel cut out a massive chunk from hers.  They filled a basket full with hair.  Her parents were cool about the whole thing -- in fact her mom was thrilled that she was "acting like a normal kid" -- but I still hang my head in shame about it.  On the plus side, Isabel's new hair cut is really cute.

Lola tried to escape getting a bath, but Daddy is quicker and stronger!  He mightily tossed her over the shoulder and dumped her in the tub.

Tickles!  Giggles!  Daddy torments his girls.

Mommy, instead, calmly cuddles with her girls and their lovies. 

The Whomptons visited with lots of old friends (and their children) at Turtle Park.  Samantha, a former-Whompton-in-residence, now lives next to Turtle Park and happily joined in the fun.  Here are she and Lola on top of a massive turtle.  (Also, you can tell Samantha is a Whompton because she has a super cool hat!)

Raina climbed on top of the turtle's nose.  (Do turtles have snouts?)  It was really high up!

Fearless and headstrong Lola knew she could do whatever Raina could do.  She required spotting.

Raina, Lola, Addy, Kennedy, and Samantha claim turtle eggs for their very own.  They also happily rested in the shade.  100+ temps make the shade a wonderful place to be.
