Summer 2014: Week 6

Andrew had two baseball games, W and TH. On Wednesday he struck out once and walked twice. TH afternoon, he got contacts. TH night he struck out once and hit two singles. One of those was an RBI, and once he came in. What a miracle! I feel bad for not catching it earlier, but better late than never. The video below is the first hit. The second was even stronger. So proud of him for sticking it out so long without contacts.

Friday morning, Andrew hung out an extra long time at the swimming pool. He brought UNO cards and a friend brought doughnuts--a little party to celebrate the end of the season. There was plenty of goofing off, too. But no one slipped and cracked their head open, so we are thankful for that.

This week Bryn had volleyball camp at a local rec center. This meant she went to swimming from 7:15 until 8:30 and got out of the pool to go to the gym. For this week only she changed age groups and ability levels. She really felt the difference in the workout.

For me, it meant additional driving. On TH, I drove over 100 miles getting everyone to their events. Summer is no joke when you are a mother with lots of children.

Caitlin's big fun was Go-Kart camp.

She signed up last summer but we had to cancel due to broken bones. A friend went with her and after 2 hours, they'd learned all about driving go Karts. Not really surprising that the girls were outnumbered: 3 girls and about 10 boys. Caitlin also had an Activity days party at the swimming pool.

TH night my brother and his wife came to town. They are considering a move to the west and we were fortunate enough to have them stay the night. Fun to chat and catch up. We will host them one more night next week on their way home.

FR night we went to Denver to look at a couple of pianos & ate dinner. In typical CO fashion, there were afternoon thunderstorms as we were driving. Saturday was a get ready for Scout Camp kind of day.

Sunday I will teach Gospel Doctrine. Nathan is scheduled to set up chairs before church, help with a deacon's quorum presidency meeting after and a scout committee meeting in the late afternoon.

Only 5 more weeks!
The school emailed me a reminder about the early release that's happening the first two weeks of school since the K-8 buildings don't have great air conditioning (or none at all).
