Week 25 of 52 in 2018

School is out and it was time for Swim Team practice.  So, we spent a lot of time at the pool.


Besides swimming, we also made it to the library to get books for the Summer Reading program.  We picked out a bunch of the Beverly Cleary books. I'm excited for the boys to learn all about Henry and Ramona.

Week 24 of 52 in 2018

It was an incredibly busy week for us....

The Giants came up short against the Athletics who eventually went on to win the Championship.  Some pitching decisions were made that probably could have changed the outcome but it was a great season for our favorite player and coach.  Despite not being picked to the All Star game, Connor is most definitely our ALL STAR!


With the 1/2 days leading up to the last day of school, we decided to take a trip to the zoo. It was a beautiful day.  We don't go as often as we used to but each time we do, we spend more time there and do much more in observing the animals and their behaviors.  We are looking forward to all the changes are aren't ready yet to give up our membership.



We are so lucky that RFES lets the students know which homeroom they have been assigned to on their final report card that is distributed on the last day.  The boys had compared notes and we were able to figure out which friends they'd be spending 3rd grade with.


After a stop at the pool, we were off to the Yard to see the Orioles play with a couple hundred other friends from Rodgers Forge.


Saturday was for the pool and celebrating Maddie's graduation.  After a very late night, we were up early to see the Incredibles 2 and celebrate our favorite dad's day.  After lunch, there were naps in store for everyone.

Week 23 of 52 in 2018

Jackson:  While Connor was at baseball practice, Jackson and I headed to Campus and he decided to take the swim test.   His jammers were in so we got him those to get used to the feel.  He passed and was super excited.



Connor:  After finishing up his game, Connor and Chase ran into Everett and got the update on the Athletics game.  By the time they reach school, they will probably know all the winners and losers and updated standings.

Week 22 of 52 in 2018

Jackson and Connor:  It was such a busy week for the boys.  They had their normal practice and game schedule but Sophia and Michael graduated and there was sports day (separate post) followed by Kona Ice at the school.


After Kona Ice, we stopped at the pool for a little bit as it was super warm.  We just couldn't keep still and ended up getting in some extra baseball practice at the field for Connor.  The next morning, the Giants were taking on the Diamondbacks.  Benny has become such a good friend to the boys.  They realized that his grandparents lived 2 doors up and they catch up whenever Benny stops by for a sleepover or visit.


While Connor was at baseball practice, Jackson and I headed up to the pool for swimsuit sizing.  Connor and Michael eventually caught up with us and we got the boys timed and measured in their first set of jammers.  Go Seahorses!!! We may have rested at some point but I'm not sure...
