First Day of Ballet

This past weekend I signed Chloe up for dance lessons at Royale Ballet Dance Academy. She'll take ballet and tap. I think I'm just as excited as she is.

For dance class you have to wear pink tights, pink ballet shoes, a black leotard, and have your hair in a bun. Classes started Monday at 4pm so Carl was super dad and picked her up from school early, changed her into her dance stuff, and got her to class. He was concerned about making a bun so I did her hair before she left for school. You can tell in this picture she was a little nervous about her first class.

While Chloe was at ballet, Connor and Carl took a little excursion to the library.

When I got home Chloe was ecstatic about her class but a little worn out. I'm so grateful to Carl for making it work for the kids, but I did notice he put her leotard on backwards. 

A Visit to the Fort Worth Zoo

On Friday we took the twins to the Fort Worth Zoo. It's a bit of a drive, but the only reason we'd be willing to go to the zoo in the middle of August heat is because this zoo has an awesome splash park.

We saw some cool animals. Connor was specifically excited to see the Komodo Dragon for some reason. I really just like  hearing him say "Komodo Dragon" over and over. Chloe took a few pictures to share with her class.

I got a couple of cute shots of my kiddos too.

However, the best part was cooling off at the splash park.
