The first week of summer went surprisingly well! The kids didn't fight & actually hung out together. I was shocked!
We had a Scout picnic for Jake. His last Scout event, he's decided to give up Scouts because he is too busy with other activities. I have to say that I was happy he gave it up (I was the leader & that means one less activity for me). Anyway, we went to our friend's house which backs up to the woods. There is a small creek that the kids spent tons of time wading in, catching toads and just playing. They had a bonfire and smores too. We had a great time & both kids came home exhausted & filthy.
Jake had a doubleheader on Sunday. His team won one & lost one. He had an amazing (lucky) catch in the outfield & he was pretty happy about that. After the game, the entire team & their families came to our house for a BBQ. It was a lot of fun.
Allie & I had a girls afternoon on Friday. Jake went with a friend to the Children's Museum in Coralville, so we painted pottery, had lunch, shopped & then came home & crashed. It was fun!
The kids finished up VBS last week. They had a big pool party on Thursday evening. It was chilly, but they still went swimming. I don't know how they could stand the freezing water!
The kids have been playing outside non-stop. The neighbor boys and girls have been coming and going. They are having a ball so far this summer. We also went to see 2 movies on rainy days. The movies "Up" and "Night at the Museum 2" were both cute.
Jake has been going to basketball camp a couple of days a week. He is enjoying that. Allie starts softball this week & can't wait.
Scott & I also celebrated our 13 year anniversary yesterday. Hard to believe it has been that long! So much has changed since our wedding day...kids, new house, new jobs, new cars, vacations and so on. It's been an adventure & I can't wait to see what happens the 50 years!
