Chill Out Week

Our community events coordinator planned 4 days of fun activities for the kids to "cool down" for the end of summer. These were days filled with fun including games, crafts, snacks and movies!

Monday - Cold Weather Critters Day

The first day was Cold Weather Critters Day.
We had breakfast on the porch first,

then headed to the Residence Center to "cool off."
They got to make paper plate walruses and pom pom polar bears in the Art Center,

and then headed to the Jewell theater and watched Arctic Tale.

 Ali was very intrigued.

After that, we went home for a bit and a bite of lunch then headed back to play in the "Arctic Obstacle Course"

and earned tickets to create ice cream sundaes!

The girls loved being able to pick their own toppings.

 Ali knew the drill and figured out rather quickly who was dishing out the good stuff. She was not going to let her ice cream go with out the whip cream.

 yum yum!

 It was a come and go event throughout the day, so it was fun that each Hailey and Tegan saw a friend. Scarlett and Hailey

 and Tegan and Sophia!

 And cute Ali had me doating over her and all her cuteness.

She had her ice cream,

and then scraped out everyone's bowls

while they went out and ran in the sprinklers.

Awe, the joys of Summertime fun!

Tuesday - Olaf Day

As if Day 1 wasn't enough fun, we went back for Day 2, Tuesday was Olaf and Friends Day! Fun fun! The girls got to make Olaf thumbprints,

 (totally cute!)

and sock Olafs, which I think was Tegan's favorite!

After craft time, they watched Frozen in the Jewell Theater and then went on a Scavenger hunt! The hunt was so fun! We had clues to find different Frozen characters all around and we had to take a picture near where we found them.
You can't really see this one, but it was Olaf on the outside of the window, down in the corner.

 This was one of my favorite as it is Anna hanging upside down,

 Ali found her favorite!

 way up in the tree!

We even saw a beautiful butterfly. Wait, butterflies aren't part of the arctic or Frozen?

For snack, they made Marshmallow Olafs.

 Can you tell Ali sure loved it!

Wednesday - Popsicle Day

Day 3 of so much fun and crafts! They got to make popsicle paintings in the Art Center. Here are some samples.

 Tegan was excited to start!

 Ta-dA! Tegan's masterpiece.

 I opted for Ali to use markers,

 and she was just as thrilled!

 These made for nice cool off fans!

 After art, they watched Chuggington in the Jewell Theater.

 The many faces and excitement of Tegan about her Olaf sticker and her true personalities shining through.

Hailey had an overnight at Layla's last night so she didn't do the popsicle day with us. Tegan was thrilled because she likes to "be Hailey" and sleep Hay's bed and wear her pajamas!

Thursday 

Last day of Chill Out Week was our Neighborhood Back to School Pool Party, but we did not go as we had Tegan's Kindergarten assessment. Gah! Another one starting school!
