Wiggles

This summer Connor discovered The Wiggles. A few weeks ago Daryle discovered that the Wiggles would be performing after the July 25th Diamondback's game. Put two and two together and where do you think we were this afternoon??
Yes, the Wiggles arrived in Phoenix directly from Australia and performed for a wild crowd of excited toddlers and their exhausted parents. They were actually pretty good. I know my family had fun singing, dancing and laughing (well, maybe not Travis....but Daryle and I enjoyed singing some of our favorite catchy tunes! We have been listening to this music since Travis was 2!)

Even Dorothy the dinosaur showed up, Connor was in dino heaven!! (He loves her!)

Jeff came through the crowd and actually touched Connor's hand. He was elated!! He ran up to me saying, "Jeff! Jeff! Jeff!" He has now declared him his "favorite Wiggle".

This smile says it all, he had a wonderful time! He is such a cute dancer too. I am pretty sure he wore himself out! (Actually, I think we will all sleep well tonight!)

Travis started basketball this past week. This is his first time playing on a basketball team. He is doing pretty well at it, his coach gave him lots of compliments at the first two practices. Only two more outdoor practices and then finally we get to use the gym. Phew, it is hot out there! I am excited for him to participate in an indoor sport for awhile.

While Travis practices Connor enjoys the playground. Actually, last week we had a couple of cooler evenings, so it wasn't too bad. Connor loves riding on this huge bumble bee at our park.

I went back to work on Friday, so summer is over for me. The kids go back on Wednesday, so Travis has a couple more days to get ready. Even though we didn't travel anywhere, I think we had a nice relaxing time at home. Sometimes it is nice just to keep things simple and not so hectic. The best part of starting a new school year is the chance to start new again. There is no doubt that this will be an interesting year, I am anxious to get it started and see where it takes us!
