David has his first swim meet tonight. He was a little nervous at the start. Lots of complaints about his stomach hurting. It's good that the little kids events come quickly. He swam the 25 yd freestyle first. He did great! And by great I mean that he made it to the other side of the pool without stopping or grabbing the ropes! David asked me if he can do this again next year while we were waiting for his 2nd race to come up. I think he had fun! :-) 
After the museum we all went to the Hofbrauhaus in the Southside section of Pittsburgh. We had the singer annouce Paul and Bob's 40th birthday so everyone could toast them. 
We took a weekend trip to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. David enjoyed showing Kelsey and Kaitlyn all around the museum. He took hold of Kelsey's hand and led her around. It was really cute. We love this museum. 
Ryan being a monkey.
So much love to share while looking at Pennsylvania's poisonous snakes. 
Being eaten by crocodiles . . . they're screaming.
No questions asked, all four put on their goggles because the employees of the museum told them they had to. . . smart people. No way this would have happened if we had to tell them.
Summer has officially started when we spend the day playing at the waterpark, have spaghetti for dinner and then ride the rides till dark. They boys enjoyed their first Spaghetti Wednesday.
Ryan's favorite ride this summer is the flying fish. All smiles!
David still loves the Free Fall. On a stomach full of spaghetti. I don't know how he does it!
Ryan invited some friends from school over on Monday to celebrate the start of summer. Ryan was so excited to be having "his friends, not David's" to the house. Of course, one little girl's sister ended up being in David's class, but Ryan allowed her to come anyway. :-) 
We had lunch, plastic bug search, water balloon and ice cream. 
David played Spring U5 Soccer with Centre Soccer. His friend Zach was on his team and Zach's dad coached with Paul. It was a VERY cold and rainy spring! We had lots of rain cancellations, which are extremely unusual for the soccer program. Typically the kids play in the rain. The fields were just too soggy. The season ended with two sunny warm weeks and lots of happy kids. 
Ryan was a good sport about coming to watch David play. He always wanted to wear his soccer shirt and practice with me on the sidelines. 
David was officially promoted to Kindergarten on Friday, June 3rd! His class put on a performance of silly songs and then the teacher gave them each a certificate. 
David loved Mrs. Wiley. She was his silliest teacher. She had the kids laughing and loving school every day. He is so excited to be going to Kindergarten. 
After school the boys went to a friends house for an end of school year party. 
Ryan's class held a performance for the parents on Wednesday. They sang about the seed growing into a flower. Ryan is still running around the house with his head in this flower. His teacher put together a video of pictures from the year too. It was very sweet. David got to leave his classroom to watch the performance.
