Ava has been enjoying her summer break from school. Although she definitely misses school and her friends – nearly every morning she asks to go to school.
We went hiking with our friends Hannah and Zachary (and their dad Michael). Ava likes fishing at the pond.
Ava and Hannah had fun feeding the fish as well
And running back for more fish food.
Ava loves walking to the pool every day. Here she is with her backpack full of post-swimming clothes.
When it is too hot outside, Ava plays in her playroom. One of her favorites has been playing with Thomas and Rosie the trains.
And whenever she sees her friends at the park, she has to give them a hug.
The first week Ava did vacation bible school (aka summer camp) at the church associated with her school. Other than a different classroom and some different classmates, she seemed to be happy there. They learned new songs – in fact we must now get the backseat request of “I want more school music!” from Ava to play the CD from the camp every time we are in the car. On the last day of camp they whole group performed some of the songs for the parents. Here’s a video of the group singing – Ava is in the bottom in the brown shirt.

Next week Ava has sports camp – we’re not sure who is looking forward to it more – Ava or Mom!
On other news the baby countdown continues….we’re getting closer to the 7/9 due date.
