Colby's new project at the Kaleidoscope Mall had an event that featured Cheryl Burke, from Dancing with the Stars. Bailey is a huge fan, so we took the kids for a fun evening. Kelly, Eli and Lexy came as well along with three of her friends. We had prime seats for watching the performance. Bailey also got to meet her and pose for a picture.

It's Finally Summer!
We had our first trip to the island this weekend, making it officially summer for The Durnin Family. My mom joined us on the trip and we had a blast. We left Saturday morning and came home Sunday afternoon, but we made the most of our short trip and had such a great time.
We were trying to get the kids on the paddle boards, but Boomer beat them to it for a ride.

Boomer thought swimming behind us was fun, that dog could swim for hours.
Bailey loves going on the paddle boards
Bailey's turn with Daddy, Raif and I are slowly making our way forward
Raif is still not sure about the paddle boards, let me tell you it is not that easy paddling sitting down!

Bailey's Last Day of Preschool
Bailey had her last day of preschool today. I thought I would be a bit sadder than I was, but I'm excited for her. She is truly ready to start Kindergarten. It's hard to say, but she actually
out-grew preschool. That's the point, right? She isn't a baby anymore, but a little girl. Her time at preschool was wonderful. The teachers are so loving and the philosophy of learning was just perfect to fit the needs of Bailey. It's always hard, but exciting to close one chapter and open another. But, I can honestly say I'm ready for her to start Kindergarten. Although, I might need to be reminded of that when I'm crying my eyes out on her first day of kindergarten!

Father's Day
Father's Day morning started off at the bay. We were really hoping the sun would burst through the clouds and provide us with a beautiful day, however that did not happen. The other thing that did not happen was picture taking. Hey, sometimes you're in the mood for photos and sometimes you're not. We had Colby's parents, my parents, and my sister, Eli and their brood over for dinner. It was a pleasant evening, nothing spectacular. Just good food, good conversation, and a nice way to spend the day. Here are a few photos of the morning.

Creativity and My Poor Baby Dog
Raif and Bailey have been playing pirates a lot lately. Probably due to the fact that they both like watching the new Disney show, "Jake and the Neverland Pirates." A show both of them can agree on watching together. Yesterday, Bailey asked me for some tape. I just gave it to her without asking what for. She's pretty good with stuff and knows where she can use it and where she can't. When I overheard, "hold still, Raif," curiosity got to me and I had to go and see what she was getting her little brother into. When I arrived, Raif held up his hand and said ,"Look, I Captain Hook!" The tape is securing on a salt shaker from her kitchen set. Pretty creative for a 5 year old!

Who needs a real hook when you can use a salt shaker!

She has been beside herself and is often found hiding wherever she can to escape the fact that she has a drain coming out of her bottom! If you enlarge the picture you can see she is hiding in one of the bags on the floor of our closet.

Bailey's Dance Recital
This Saturday evening, Bailey had her dance recital. The title of the performance was "The Wishing Well" and Bailey's dance number was wishing that the little dolls would come to life. Bailey, as shy as she is to those she doesn't know, comes to life on stage. She loves to perform and her smile was beaming. Here are a few photos from her evening.
