School's out for Summer

Well today finally arrived and officially at 1:30 when I meet the girls at their bus stop Summer Begins...then it's to Round House park for a play date. Woohoo, I can feel the joy already. My tweens are preparing for an adventurous summer filled with field trips, parades, swimming, yoga at the Sculpture Garden, Farmer's Markets, Entering art into Fairs, road trips to the North Shore, IL, and possibly the Dakota's for Fourth of July and celebrating Derek's birthday, and throwing in rest and relaxation. Filling up our summer calendar with daily events to compile into an awesome summer journal is the plan. Something to treasure for years to come.
Presently with this weather and the 5 day forecast of only rain I feel like we are back living in a beautiful rain forest in Alaska. Hard to believe it's already been over two years still feels like yesterday that I was driving down Tongass Highway. I miss Alaska and the people but not so much the rain. I am forever grateful to have experienced it but like my sunshine a little more. Just wish the Vit. D was in the air today...Oh well still grateful for what this day brings and then some. Well off for some Total Body Conditioning at Lifetime Fitness and music to my ears next to two of my friends married to Viking Football Players. Cheers to joys of living in the Tween Cities!

Tween Playdates in the City

Last full day of school. Hip Hip Hooray it's just about time for Tween City summer play. Girls were excited this morning and looking forward to go swimming after school at Lifetime Fitness. I'll see how much energy they still have left they had two playdates yesterday and play they did. From an awesome Tween Talent performance and fashion show all glammed out hats,heels,dresses and accessories, I was loving playing Mammarazzi. Heidi Klum, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez you all better look out...the Tween Trio is coming. LoL
Photos will be coming soon but we are having a malfunction with the Left click button...Don't realize how dependant one is for a click until it's gone....Just to type this blog I have to hold down the right click button...Arrgghh.
So with that said, That's all she wrote. :0)

Field Trips for 2nd & 3rd Grade

With the last week of school here field trips are happening...3rd grade went to http://www.exploreminnesota.com/attraction/20439/waconia/safari-island-indoor-waterpark-and-fitness-center Safari Island in Waconia yesterday...equipped with big slides indoor play area and the hit was diving boards...Definitely a Splashing way to end 3rd Grade. Today 2nd graders venture to http://www.pumpitupparty.com/mn/eden-praire/eden-prairie/home-p1q69.htm Pump it Up Eden Prairie...these tweens in motion will definitely be jumping into 3rd grade with this inflatable party zone. I think I might just have to utilize this location for a Parents Night Out this summer, something tells me I won't have to twist two particular tweens arms to get a YES. Then after this jumping joyful event it's a party at Freeman Park http://shorewood.revtrak.net/tek9.asp?pg=regwerks I am in charge of Posicles...http://www.popsicle.com/Home.aspx ....What's a party for kids on the go without having a Product on the Go. I am liking the New Fruity Jolly Rancher Choice...I might have me 20 new Tween BFF's by the end of day...I like it!!!
So before this 2nd grade event I will be hitting NIA http://www.nianow.com/, because through movement I find health...This class is awesome I call it my Meditation in Motion and my Black Belt Instructor Marie instructs in a way that brings Awareness to a New Life. I simply will be refreshed, recharged & regrouped when I hit Freeman Park today...Just a FYI if you check this class out, Watch out...It can Change Your Life.
So presently the Rain Gods are doing a little NIA up above (I'm jealous) and hope they have gotten their fix before the Party at the Park because It's On to listen to 20 + Tweens Tearing it Up.

Smile it's Tween Tuesday!!!

Ahh, I can feel the joys of summer fast approaching. Hearing the joys too. This is the tune that has been singing around the house all day...."Are you ready for the summer? Are you ready for the summer? Are you ready for the Good Times, Good Times. Are you ready for Summer Fun and most of all a lot of Goofing Around. No more Teachers, No more Books, No more Teachers Dirty Look...No More Math or History... Are you ready for the summer, the same as me."
