Summer Break 2026: Week 5

After our fun beach adventures the previous week, we enjoyed being home! Zander continues to enjoy his summer golf league on Sunday nights (thank you Grandpa for being his Uber driver… haha). On Sunday evening, both boys had their best friends (Jackson and Austin) spend the night. We went bowling on Monday and enjoyed time at our local recreation center (playing basketball and pickleball) due to really high temperatures outside. On Tuesday, Zander got his top braces put on. He will get his bottom braces after one last molar comes out. We met Aunt Kelly for lunch at Freddy’s and spent another afternoon at the recreation center, playing volleyball and basketball (thank you air conditioning). We celebrated my 43rd birthday with my side of the family that night at Kimonos with a Bundt cake and frozen yogurt (at Zack’s Treats) for dessert. We knocked out a 300 piece dog puzzle on Tuesday night while listening to Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.  Wednesday, we went to Quarry Park to enjoy some outside time before the over 100 degree temperatures came in. Wednesday afternoon, the Kennedy kids came for our annual summer sleepover. Due to the heat, we went to see Toy Story 5 in the theaters (with popcorn and drinks to share). We finished out the night at our church’s 4th of July picnic and then watched the USA in the World Cup (round of 32) while hanging out in the fort the kids created. The cousins slept downstairs (in or around their fort) and were ready to enjoy the day on Thursday (waking up bright and early). We played outside until it got too hot and took Beau for his walk before the heat settled in for the day. We went to the pool to escape the heat and finished our night watching more World Cup soccer. Today, we are taking it easy and trying to decide what fun we might get into before the holiday weekend! Fortunately, there is a lot of soccer matches this weekend as the round of 16 games continue, so if we aren't outside, you might find us watching soccer since we have two soccer players in our home! ;)
