Weekend Stuff

We had a busy, full weekend! Yesterday, Jonathan had his first tennis lesson at Woodside with his friends Charlie (green shorts) and Rooney (orange shirt)...

Jonathan really enjoyed it but also said, "But I didn't actually play tennis." He's ready for the real matches! After tennis we headed down to the River Market for Veg Fest KC, a festival of all vegan food and vendors. It was great to go around and try food without worrying about what's in it! There was some great new stuff and we got to pet a three-legged pig named Elvis. I'm not kidding... After Christopher's dance class we went with Grammy to the Nelson-Atkins for their Juneteenth celebration. Christopher's class participated in the KC Kids Writing Project which paired his class with a class from another Kansas City school. The students learned a lot about the diversity of the city and they talked and wrote about race, privilege, socioeconomic issues and more. Their work, in the form of a mosaic, was displayed at the museum...

Today, both boys had playdates with friends (although I don't know if I'm allowed to call Christopher's a playdate; rather he hung out with his friend Cameron pretty much all afternoon). Jonathan and I went to Franklin Park with Rooney and they had a great time together...

And, big news! Look at what Jonathan can do! (Warning, he is making a loud sound as soon as the video comes on so turn your volume down)...
