M's track meets are more chaotic than I expected, but when you come home with ribbons like she does, who cares? She was thrilled to come in second place for the long jump (her favorite event) and won a first place ribbon for participating in the shuttle relay. That same day K got to hang out with her troop on Main Street and go shopping. She loved it and came home with a beautiful necklace before we fed the missionaries and had her 3rd grade teacher's daughter babysit while Hubby and I finally got to watch the last Jason Bourne movie in the basement we have been meaning to watch for months. We watched the other 4 Bourne movies in preparation and it felt so good to feel like we had accomplished one of our summer goals. Lol.
The last week of June brought more play time with friends, D attending (and LOVING) mountain biking camp with AVID, M taking her first golf lesson (her new favorite sport), me evacuating the clinic during my check up due to a fire alarm going off (that's a first for me), D's last baseball game, M getting bribed by the orthodontist's office to wear her trainer every day, a continuation of D and M going to Sonya's for handwriting & reading tutoring, buying D a new bike, and going to the traveling Vikings exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science before buying camping gear at Cabela's.
July meant K began swimming lessons. She goes every morning M-F for two weeks for 45 minutes. The first day you could tell it had been a long time since she swam like that, but she is amazing and began to excel very quickly. This is her first time taking lessons through the rec center and we are loving the outdoor pool. So far the weather has been great. I hope it is for the 2 week session she is signed up for in August too.
D had his 8 year check up and is doing well, just as expected. He is is the 88th percentile for height and the 90th percentile for weight. Reminds me of when his biological grandmother told me her brothers were built like brick walls. I think he's going to take after his uncles. Lucky thing since his current career dream is to become a professional athlete!
When your preschooler says she wants short hair and the last time she said that she cut it herself, you take her to the salon asap! N picked out her haircut out of a book and is absolutely in love with it!

Watching Hidden Figures with the Activity Days girls at our home. I'm so glad I read the book to get the full and real story, but thought the movie did a good time portraying the time period.
