Wrapping Up Summer 2020

We have managed to have a really fun summer in the middle of a pandemic.  Pool days, golf, tennis, summer camp, the zoo, parks, play dates, ice cream and endless hours using their imaginations outside have filled our days.  It has been our longest summer on record and we are ready for the structure that school provides but these kids had a great summer and it was well deserved after a quarter of remote learning in the spring.  It will definitely be a summer we never forget!

How ridiculous is this?  No fans at baseball games this summer so they improvised with these crazy mannequins. 

These boys collected almost $200 by doing odd jobs.  They weeded, cleaned garages, and trapped frogs.  They took all of their hard earned money and bought several Nerf guns to use when protecting their tree house from the girls.

Fun night at Top Golf with friends.

Nolan has been opting to go to the driving range on days that I take the kids up to the club to work out.  He would prefer to go practice rather than go to the kids' zone.  I love how much he is enjoying golf and taking the initiative to practice.

Exhausted.  Eric snapped this pic the other night when Mairin fell asleep on me.  She never falls asleep on us anymore so when this happened the other night, I couldn't tear myself away.  I just sat and held her as long as I possibly could.  So glad I have this picture in case this is the last time this happens.
