Book: “Swiss Family Robinson” by Johann Wyss
Before I headed out on my India adventure I started reading one of my favorite books as a kid to the girls, Great Illustrated Classics The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann Wyss. My Mom finished reading the book to the girls while I was away and then watched the movie with them. Karlie was convinced that she was ready to live on an island in a tree house after reading the book and watching the movie (although she said it would be ok if the pirates didn’t come).
It has been a lot of fun reading the girls some of my favorite books as a kid. They love listening and enjoy the adventures the stories take us on. This book is about the Robinson family that gets shipwrecked on an island. The family learns to live off the land, build a home in the trees, and their journey. It is full of great adventures as the family explores their new home. If you have kids that love being read to this is a fun book for the whole family. Plus after reading the book you can watch the movie which is always something great to look forward to as well.

Book: “The Secret Garden” by Frances Hodgson Burnett
The girls and I just finished reading the Children’s Illustrated Classic The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. They LOVED it! It was a good story with enough of an adventure to keep them asking me to read “just one more chapter tonight, please Mom”!
The story is about a little girl from India named Mary Lennox. She was spoiled by everyone and had very little interaction with her parents. When her parents died she was sent to live with her Uncle in England, Lord Craven. Her Uncle was a sad man who was still mourning the death of his wife from 10 years ago and really did not want to have anything to do with Mary other then to make sure she had the food and necessities she needs. Mary learns to love life in England and has grand adventures exploring the manor’s gardens. As she continues to explore outside, learns how to garden, and meets new friends Mary was able to keep more then one hidden secret that took those living in the large manor by surprise.
The girls really enjoyed having me read this book out loud to them. The pictures and story really came alive for them as we processed on through the book. If you have you girls (or boys) and you are looking for a good book to read to them you should check this one out!
Benefits of Gymnastics
Karlie and Brina ready to try out gymnastics
Several months ago there was a Groupon for a local gymnastics class for more than 50% off regular price. We purchased two and gave them to the girls. They were so excited to start gymnastics. It was quite humorous watching them the first day attempt to do a cartwheel, handstand and all the other gymnastic type stuff. It didn’t take long though before they were getting better at the different skills. Here are just a few ways we noticed gymnastic helping in our girls:
- Hand – Eye Coordination
- Boost in Confidence
- Flexibility
- Health & Exercise
Do your kids take gymnastics or other sports? Have you noticed any positive benefits to the sport? I included a couple other fun pictures from their first day at gymnastics. They loved it!
Brina and Karlie ready for gymnastics….let’s go Mom!
Karlie trying out the high bar
Brina doing the bar for the first time (sorry this is fuzzy, it was hard taking good quality pictures on the other side of the glass and with them moving so much!)
