Princess friends.

Can you find Emma and Landry? They just blend right in.

There were a lot of smiles at princess camp.

Leaving class with a little curtsy.

On the room of the museum that had a natural art exibit. You could paint stones with water.

Kenny enjoyed the painting and we liked the fact that he didn’t get all messy with paint.

Kenny was a pretty busy boy, but he did stop to pose for the camera a little bit.

Emma never did quite stop to pose, but I caught here in the background of this picture.

Kenny liked the view from the roof.

The barn at Rollie’s is a nice back drop and there are flowers everywhere to add some color.

There are flowers, neat old buildings, and even a pear tree as you can see from the pear in Kenny’s hand.

Kenny and Emma love going out to the farm and just run around. It was tough to get them to stand still because there is so much to explore.

Start with some Oreo Cookies. Kenny always eats them at the coffee table sitting on the watermelon stool that he carries from accross the room.

Pick and eat some blueberries. He knows not to pick the green ones.

Keep on picking. Keep on eating.

All done with the blueberries, onto something new.

Papa Swany finds a toad.

Kenny is interested in animals and has been pretty gentle with them…so far.

The girls made the tie-die shirts that they are wearing in the picture.

As you look through the pictures, I got some help from Emma for some of the captions. Anything in quotes are her exact words.

Emma didn’t know that we bought a cake at the grocery store.

She was pretty surprised.

We did save the cake until after lunch.

A little lunch. This all took place at a rest area just north of Wisconsin Dells.

Emma and dad went down a lot of the slides together. Next time Emma said she will do them by herself.

Emma did go down this slide by herself.

The two girls did a little racing down the side by side slides.

Here is the finish. A big splash.

Here the two are taking a picture that Emma claims to be “kind of cute and funny.”

Emma says, “Landry went down the turtle slide really fast.”

Emma says, “We took a picture by the turtle and I smiled really kind of good.”

“Riding on the horse, heedy haw.”

“We were in the wavy water and we had so much fun in the wavy water.”

“Wow I jumped really high over the waves. I wanted to say ‘hee haw’.”

We started off in the butterfly house. It was actually free to get in and air conditioned.

Papa Swany, who grew up on a farm, hasn’t had a chance to explain the many reasons why you don’t milk a cow from the rear.

The first ride for Emma and Jack was an obstacle course with a few fun slides.

Static electricty was a big part of the ride.

No ones hair was safe.

I almost though Kenny would be too little to appreciate the rides. I was wrong. He just loved driving the car and when I started to unbuckle him at the end he threw a nice little fit.

He was totally into turning the steering wheel and then waving to people. He never waved at us, just random people.

Poor Jack. His bee never went up and down. He did get to ride again though.

Though Emma went down the slide first, we start with a picture of Jack. This is because I (Dana) wasn’t paying attention when Emma came down first.

So here is Emma. The carnival worker was so nice that even without asking, he let Emma and Jack go a second time so that I could get a picture. Carnival workers kind of have a bad name, but we interacted with some pretty nice ones.

Kenny’s last ride was on the motorcycles.

Again, he just loved it. This time his fit started as soon as the motorcycles stopped moving. He knew this time that his dad would be coming to get him.

Emma had lots of fun riding the Sea Doo with Uncle Tracy.

Kenny never left the dock.

Kenny did have fun watching from the dock though.

Somewhere there is older picture of Aunt Tessa with all her nieces and nephews, but I can’t find it . Here is the current one though.

With regards to OT, Kenny works with a great therapist named Mary (we will have to get a picture of her soon). A few weeks ago Mary had us attend a special week of intensive therapy with a lady named Sheryl Field who specializes in a technique called the Feldenkrais Method. Kenny’s OT will continue the therapy with him on an ongoing basis. The therapy was great and helped Kenny’s fisted left hand to relax more.
