We’ve been busy!!

These past few weeks we have done all of the nostalgic crafts of the past! We busted out the velvet coloring pages, fuse beads and we even made our own phones (pretend ones of course)

We also have been enjoying our time outside before the weather changes. We’ve noticed all of the leaves changing colors, blew tons of bubbles and did an impromptu fall photo shoot! 🍂

📣 Sorry we’ve been a little quiet! 💛

We know it’s been a while since we’ve posted, but that’s because we’ve been busy having too much FUN! 🎉☀️

We wanted to pop back on and share a little of what we’ve been up to! From fun activities and catching lizards to playing games, hanging at the park, and watching the helicopter land for Sheriffs Night Out. We’ve been making plenty of memories! 🥰🎨🏃‍♀️✨

Thanks for following along with us! We can’t wait to share more of the fun! 💕

Here’s a little peek at what we’ve been up to lately! 📸👇

🍉☀️Goodbye Summer☀️🍉

Here it is! Our final hurrah of the summer! We have had so much fun hanging out, crafting, swimming and making memories, we are sad to see it go. Here is a peek into our last week of summer program. Thank you to all that came out for our End of Summer Ice Cream Social and for trusting us with your kiddos all summer 🤪 We are so lucky to have such a great group of kids and families! We hope you continue to follow us along for our School Year shenanigans!

Thank you for a wonderful summer!!

Here is our week in review!

This week we channeled our inner Mad Scientists and made our own ice cream, designed our very own homemade bouncy balls, constructed towers with toothpicks and marshmallows and made our own fizzy craters on the moon! We also did some team building games at the park, like hula hoop caterpillar races and beach ball relays! What a week 😮‍💨

Our SOARS were busy too! Ms. Megan took them on a fantastic field trip to the Sutro Tunnel where they learned all about mining during the “boom”. They also created several unique items throughout the week that they then sold at their weekly Farmers Market on Thursday!

We have been so busy we hardly realized there are only 3 more weeks left of Summer Program!! ☀️

What a week!!

Our favorite time of year has finally arrived and the pool has opened! We enjoyed our afternoons poolside, we prepared for the 4th of July by creating our own patriotic pins and we spent some time up with our friends in the library playing bingo and doing crafts! We rounded out Animal Kingdom week with making our own snakes, crafting jumping frogs and painting safari settings!

It’s been quite an enjoyable summer so far! Hope you all have a safe wonderful holiday weekend 🇺🇸
