Finally! It's here. The day we've been waiting for all year long....Summer Vacation!
There's nothing better than sleeping in, going without a shower, playing outside, and reading a good book! So far, we've been very, very busy with community theatre, swim team, tennis camp, baseball and softball. Baseball finally ended last night. Donovan's coach was THE BEST. I really like him because he made every single kid feel important to the team; like they were really needed in order to win the game. I really liked him. Thanks Coach R!
The last week of school was the honors award convocation. Alex is the 8th grade student council president, and was awarded the Nathan Graves award for outstanding student council member and the Rotary Club award presented to a student who shows leadership, scholarship, and community service. It was an amazing day for him. Phillip and I both got to see him receive his awards. We are so proud of him!!
The little ones are in tennis camp two days a week, which is a lot of fun. They are learning the basics and doing lots and lots of drills. For 50.00 they get a brand new tennis racket, balls, sweatband, uniform, tattoos, and seven weeks of instruction. It was sponsored by the USTA Midwest. Their link is usta.com
The little ones spent the night at Victory Field in Indianapolis last weekend for cub scouts....put their tents out right on the field! They each got a really nice ball cap.
We are winding down with everything by June 27th, except for tennis, because Quinn's palate surgery is July 1st. We are excited and very, very nervous at the same time. Excited because she will start speaking more after her repair, and nervous, because....well...it's surgery. If any families have gone through a palate repair, please email me! I've included a few pictures of the kids from summer.....so far!
