Enjoy some SOLO Time in the Pool with this Millennium Falcon Float

Swimways Millennium Falcon with Eva and Andrew

Back in April when there was still snow on the ground, Swimways sent us some of their products. While I was excited I really wasn’t going to be showing you those products until we could get to a pool or a beach. Opinions of the toys are our own.

While we received two toys I only have one to talk about in this post. I brought the other toy to the Cape thinking that maybe we could get a beach picture one day but we did not. And then I forgot to take that product home with me, it was an Avengers 3-D Swim VestTM of The Hulk, Andrew’s favorite. I’ll show you that in a future post.

Today the family was invited to our friend’s house to enjoy their pool and newly renovated cabana. I had to work so I could not go. Allison, Eva and Andrew went and Allison got me photos of the kids having a good time with the Star Wars Millennium FalconTM Inflatable Ride-On. It is a very large inflatable and the kids loved it!

Girls Acting Up For Good – The Greatest Showman

Eva in The Greatest Showman

I have not been as good about blogging lately, at least the personal stuff. Without my daily photos to keep me in check I start to slide in keeping up with detailing the important things happening in our lives. This past Wednesday Eva had her Girls Acting Up For Good performance. It was a really nice performance that was centered all around the movie The Greatest Showman. I have not seen the movie but Eva loved it and she wants me to watch it with her. I will have to do that soon. The movie is all about PT Barnum (fictionalized and many things glossed over) but it is also inspiring in that it is about many people who were not accepted into society but were accepted in the circus. I know that there is much controversy over the movie glossing over things and the fact that circus people were not treated very well, however, the message that I think the kids were to take from this was accepting differences.

Girls Acting Up For Good has been an excellent program for Eva. She loves performing and has gotten much more confident with each show. In the program the girls learn about historical figures and are encouraged to encourage and support one another. There is a very good message there that is trying to be instilled in each of the girls.
