More Summer

We wanted to do something spontaneous one Saturday, and we ended up at a Charlotte Knight's baseball game. What a great atmosphere, right in downtown Charlotte! It was a little warm, but we had a nice shaded spot behind the screen. Dorothy and Drake loved rolling down the hills and dancing to the music. Lincoln loved asking me how long the game was going to last and when we were going to leave. I guess you can't please everyone!




It took a little less than a week for everyone to recover from the stomach bug we had. Usually, we go to the pool in the afternoon, so instead we spent some time in our front yard. It is really too hot to do anything else besides water activities. The kids kept complaint about getting "shot" in the eyes, so we got out the safety goggles and sun glasses!


It was a momentous day, when Drake graduated to a short cast! 



Since he has had the short cast, he has made really nice progress with swimming!
I tried to get everyone in this selfie at the pool.


Everyone loves going to the pool: Link thinks he is a big shot, getting to hang it with big kids at the deep end; all the girl life guards have crushes on Drakie, since he freely gives hugs; and Dororthy has more friends than the boys combined! I have pre-teen girls asking what days we are coming, so they can come play with her.

Speaking of her, check out this hair! Seriously, I hope she never dislikes her curls.


Lincoln went to art camp, and had a wonderful time. He came home with some beautiful things, I can't wait to display around the house. We celebrated his last day, by checking out the new snowball place in town.



I was in charge of covered wagon craft/treat at our Pioneer Day celebration at church. I didn't know they were also doing a cupcake walk and a pie eating competition. The kids were so sugar loaded! 




Before the sugar feast, the kids built Thor with Fave at Lowe's. They only need to build 2 more to have the complete set.


This summer has been a great mix of having things to do and not having things to do!
