We went on a big trip to the Ocean

We started from the trip to Chicago to the Kaminsky family, where we celebrated 4th of July with the parade.

Then we took off for Outer Banks, NC. We drove two days and we traveled awesome. Outer banks are narrow barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina. Our destination was Ocracoke island.

At Outer Banks we took Farry from Hatteras to Ocracoke Island, where we spend a week camping in a tent, driving on a beach and splashing in a water. We did not dare to go too deep in the water because of danger of sharks.

Best day ever ;-)

Fun at the Kaminsky's back yard. Featured mermaids: Vivian, Sofia, and Lilian

Fun at the Mister G concert

Today we went to the Cedar Falls library for the concert of  Latin Grammy-nominated children's musician Mister G

Here are two of the girls favorite songs by Mister G

Fun at public library

Today we had Danotastic time with Dan Wardell, at the Waterloo public library. After the short superhero and ninja training we earned the "Official IPTV Kids Clubhouse Superhero" cards.

But the biggest event today was... Drum rolls please....  We got our first library cards! We were able to check out our first books

Vivan is "reading" a book

Bike race

We participate in a bike race today during My Waterloo Days. Lili won a second place and Vivi third!

UNI Dance Marathon: “We dance for those who can’t”

Today we had an amazing opportunity to dance for the good cause. We danced and helped to raise money  for less fortunate kids during the UNI Dance Marathon.  Dance Marathon is a student organization that raises money for the local hospitals (we did it for University of Iowa Children’s Hospital)  and the Children’s Miracle Network.

We had a blast.  Since it was our first time we registered as a spirit dancer and we participated for 4 hours. We danced, we play in a bounce racing house, we got balloon animals made by a clown and many other attractions. We were proud to support such a great cause.

Today we started (hopefully) a new tradition.
