Summer Break 2024: Week 1

I'm officially on summer break for the next 4.5 weeks!  We have a short summer this year as our school calendar was adjusted for an earlier start back in August but we are planning to fill these weeks with many memories at home and on vacation!  Zander spent most of this week at the beach with the other fifth graders from our church.  I think he had a blast and came home this evening somewhat tired from all his adventures!  He enjoyed time at the beach and the pool, got to share a room with one of his best friends, learned more about God through his bible study time and made memories that I believe this group of friends will be talking about for years to come!

I had to work on Monday so the boys enjoyed a day with Grammy, Aunt Lindsey and their cousins.

Maddox enjoyed "only child" status for the rest of the week as we dropped Zander off for camp first thing Tuesday morning and just picked him up this evening.  We went to the movies with Aunt Lindsey, Emerson and Eli on Tuesday.  We fit in two pool days this week with friends.  Maddox was my exercise buddy on two occasions where he biked while I ran.  He had his best friend, Austin, spend the night one night while his brother was gone.  We also got some sweet treats that were well earned from good report cards (Krispy Kreme) and at least 400 minutes read within a month (Nothing Bundt Cakes).  As you can see below... we wore him out as well as he fell asleep on the way home from dinner with the Williams family on Thursday night!  Onto week 2 of summer break....
