June - Jungle Book

With school out, this month was full of swimming lessons, acting classes, and lots of bike riding.  Alexa LOVED her Hale Center Theater acting class and they ended the class with a performance of The Jungle Book.  She was cast as Kaa the snake.  I know I'm a little biased, but she did soo well.  She knew the stage cues, songs, choreography, and even helped other people with their forgotten lines.  She's a natural and I'm glad we did it.  Kyle took a video of the performance.  Marmie, Grandpa Swingle, and Aunt Sara and the Lunas even came to watch.

Alexa's 6th birthday came next with lots of new books, a donut run for breakfast, and a swim birthday party. We are excited to announce a new addition coming in mid-October.  Alexa REALLY wants a girl and she'll just have to wait and find out with the rest of us in October.
