Last weekend, we got to catch Eli in action on his 8U All Star team! (And yes, he is just 6 years old)! No All Stars for Maddox this year since the tournament dates conflicted with our upcoming beach trip. It was fun to have one last weekend of baseball to kick off our summer and Eli’s team went undefeated in their opening weekend! We spent week #2 of summer break catching up with friends. On Monday, we met Aunt Kelly for lunch at Freddy’s. Tuesday, we went for our annual Waffle House outing for Mr. Ben’s birthday. Jackson, Zander’s best friend, spent the night after soccer practice on Tuesday evening. You can see we fit in grabbing our good grade donuts to finish out the school year after soccer practice. The Krispy Kreme was on the way home so it was perfect timing. Honor Roll for both boys with their final grades this year! Zander had all As for 7th grade and Maddox had all As and one B (in reading) for 4th grade. They have worked so hard all year and did amazing on their end of grade tests! I’m so proud of their determination and commitment to doing their best! For the first part of the week, I refurbished a coffee table we got from our friend, Sarah. Since the boys (with the help of a friend) have broken the last two coffee tables, I told myself I wasn’t buying a new one until these crazy boys “left the nest”. I think this is a good addition until that time comes! The boys and I met the Kennedys and Williams family at the pool on Wednesday afternoon before Zander and Jackson had youth group Wednesday night. Thursday held our biggest adventure of the week. We took the cousin crew to Great Wolf Lodge for the day! The three elementary kids had been given free day passes so we made our way to Concord for a day of water fun! The moms got a sweet treat for the drive which ensured spirits were high the whole day. We went on all the water slides, spent time in the wave pool, treehouse/bucket area, the basketball/lily pad pool and even checked out the outdoor water features since this is the first time we have been there in the summer. We spent 9 hours there and definitely got our moneys worth. Today, we don’t have plans on the summer agenda as we try to recover from the excitement yesterday and get ready for a fun and busy weekend ahead! Stay tuned….. we love summer break!
