Backstroke

Kate and Max had an awesome swim meet.  Both received a first place in backstroke!!!  We are so proud of you both!!!

Jordan Lake Boating Camp

Kate, Max and neighbor Emma went to Jordan Lake Boating Camp this week.  The kids were on boats touring all parts of the lake the entire week in addition to learning to kayak, paddle board, sail and fish. They came home every night, covered in dirt and sand, smelling of lake water (the bookbags and lunch boxes may not recover), sunkissed, exhausted and HAPPY.  They both had so many stories to share including - the fish that got away, the paddle board "dab", homemade pospiscles, the pregnant bunny, paddle board jetski, the underdog, so many games, the coves, the damn and the list goes on... Not to mention, Anna, Alex and I REALLY enjoyed picking them up each afternoon!  Kate said one day, "...this is the best camp of my entire life!" Both have asked if they can go again next year??? :)  Thank you Captain Don and Crew for an amazing week!!!

More Pickin'

We just can not help ourselves.  Berries are plentiful at Buckwheat Farm and the weather has been crazy nice.  We have totaled two gallons of berries in two trips.  One gallon is in the freezer, the other is...gone!!!

Anna's Surprise

Anna was COMPLETELY surprised when her bestie, Evageline, rang the doorbell just in time for lunch!  Her mom and I secretly planned a play date for the girls! Lunch, crafts, stories and lots of play time filled the day.

Guess Who is Sea Dragon of the Week?!?!

We are so proud of you Katio!!!
