Hard to believe but we are already into our third week of summer. As normal June just flys by. I find that as the kids get older the more school stuff they have to do...and most of it is crammed into June. James had fun at the elementary basketball camp. Brayden got some service hours in and volunteered for the week...something the coach expects them to do. Brayden had his high school basketball camp the next week, followed by a basketball day out in Coweta. No garentees that he will make the team in Aug-hopefully the time and work will pay off. Andrea had a week of youth activities called ignite. Becca got her service hours in volunteering that week as well. A bit disappointing as the last day was going to be a fun day at the water park but was rained out. This week we are on to VBS. Becca is excited to be a leader and on the dance team again and the younger two get to attend. Brayden is on to workout sessions and continues with soccer in the evenings. Somehow we added summer baseball into the mix which is for James. A fun team which he knew a couple boys from soccer-a bit more competitive. Seems like a lot but we have had plenty time for lazy afternoons by the pool or just hanging around in the house.
In case you were curious this is the casino by our house...so much water that they let loose a ton of water at the dam causing a lot of flooding. Our normal bike path is totally underwater....as is the casino pool and parking lot in this pic.
This was seen from our car window driving home through fort smith.
Just lots of rain....if you know where we live you will notice or not notice the towers.
I did get to spent a weekend away with just Andrea and some girls from her class. Such a special time with her and her friends.
The summer reading program has started as well as some fun classes at the library. This day we headed to the down town library for some galaxy painting-followed by a walk to see Ron and check out a candy store.
James is in a night class of swimming this past week. His favorite thing is this bouncy diving board. being able to do a huge bounce followed by a dive is just the best for him.
And tis the season for pool parties...although this one was rained out so we ended up at sky zone to jump and play instead. A great team of girls and coaches-second place in their division this year.
We braved having Brayden Energy Soccer team over-another fun group of boys...big roudy boys but still lots of silly laughs. Again the party was interrupted with a huge rain storm, which the boys ddidn't seem to mind untill a huge lightening strike was seen.
An evening spent at the pool with our church small group after loosing in corn hole at the annual Geology shrimp boil.
Another sunday evening spent enjoying the pool with our float trip group from church.
Hoping the rain stays away...although the yard and flowers look great and are loving this strange weather.
