Today was a long day because it was Field Day. Field Day at Town Center is no ordinary Field Day. They have Field Day at a park that has an awesome playground, a water park, sand volleyball, baseball fields, and you name it. The classes rotate around to various bounce houses (one bounce house was three stories tall and rumor has it that it cost $1000 to rent), water obstacle courses, the swimming pool, etc. Basically, it is a day of water play. Last year I was so surprised at how enormous Field Day was, and it honestly bothered me to see how much money was spent on a play day. This year, I just had fun going around with classes, and enjoyed it for what it was - a day of fun in the sun. (I did get just a little burned after being out in the sun!) After Field Day, I headed over to my old school that I taught at -- T.J. Lee. T.J. Lee had its 50 year anniversary and there was a big party. I made it over there just in time to see some of my old friends. It was nice.

After visiting with everyone, I headed to get my wonderful kids. When I walked into Lauren's room today, she was lying on the floor. I said, "Hi Lauren!" She looked right at me and got the biggest smile on her face! She then tried to talk to me. It was so cute! She is normally sleeping when I pick her up, so this was a nice surprise. Of course we went to get Jackson, and he had big news for us. His school had a bounce house, and he played on it today!! Jackson finally tried out a bounce house! He loved it. Too fun!

Tonight, Jackson started playing Pat-a-Cake with Lauren. She LOVED it! She kept smiling and laughing! Here are some pictures of them playing together.

Lauren is really starting to reach out and touch things. When I am close to her, she reaches out and touches my face. She still is a little jerky with her movements though. You can see that she reached out for Jackson's face in this picture. It's funny how you forget some of the stages that babies go through!
