… you take the dog for longer walks in the morning because the weather is perfect, you meet friends at the park and have play dates at their house or yours, Mom and Dad are driving every day to the orthodontist or a ball field or dance or track practice or the swimming pool. And no one has to got to school! It’s amazing!
Hot dogs and s’mores in perfect weather for the win after yet another baseball game.
Michelle’s dance studio celebrated their 10 year anniversary with an amazing recital. My mom and I loved being there in person to watch and were very impressed. Of course Michelle’s routine was my favorite and executed well and there were too many great ones to count. She is looking forward to being on the Hip Hop dance team again next school year even though it means she will need to quit Scouts to do so. (Her assigned dance classes for the team will be on the same night as the Scout meetings and there will be competitions on weekends throughout the school year that would interfere with camping.) Although at one point Michelle had the goal to be an Eagle Scout, she would much rather spend her time and energy on striving for straight A’s and competitive dance and Young Women’s/Church activities. I wouldn’t pick out the straight A’s part but I like the rest.
I was so glad both Hubby and I could be at Natalie’s last softball game of the season. She loves softball and really enjoyed her time playing this spring and summer. Natalie is already looking forward to fall ball. I think she’s ready for the next level up and I’m excited for her.
Natalie absolutely loved her morning of hip hop camp and crafts with a Buzz Lightyear theme. It was fun to see how excited she was to perform the routine they had learned. I’m glad she had such a good time trying something new. While she was gone I cleaned the car and finished her scrapbook for when she was 8 years old. I love creating those books for my children!
Hubby’s work treated families to an evening at our local fun center to say thank you for supporting employees that had gone out of town on business. Natalie was the only one who took advantage of the full attention of Mom and Dad + free mini golf, go karts and arcade tokens. It was a blast and I actually played this game where you knock down trash talking clowns so often that my arm was sore the next day. Lol.
Meeting the R family’s new dog before personal training to keep these girls ready for volleyball! Such a cute, pudgy little gal with sharp puppy teeth. Awwwww.
We’ve been sleeping in a bit too much. Lol.
Our June Activity Days activity was tie dying shirts (here’s the before picture with hopefully an after pic in July) and water play in our back yard. Three hours went by fast and the girls are always grateful that Sister B brings great treats.
And of course it wouldn’t be a proper summer post without some baseball photos. Because competitive baseball means baseball whenever you are in town and sometimes even when you are not. But I’ll save traveling baseball for the next post.
