Memorial Day=Busy Weekend

I don't think we could've crammed anything else into this weekend if we wanted to! Friday night we went to Conner's baseball game. It was a last minute thing because his team was playing for 1st place in his league! Unfortunately they lost but they still got 2nd. Saturday was Conner's birthday party so we headed back over there. But before that we went to a local fire station open house. Max had fun climbing in all the trucks and he got to use a real fire hose too - I'm pretty sure that was his favorite part! I thought it was cool to see the inside of the station - the kitchen, game room and bedrooms. Conner's party was fun too. It's hard to believe he's 8! After the party he went to swim at the neighborhood pool with his friends so Caitlyn and Max went to play at the splash pad. They had a great time. I guess that was Max's first splash pad trip of the summer. We went straight from there to church and then Max got to go play at a playground with his good friend Kherington. Sunday was cleaning and grocery shopping and I had to volunteer at church. Then we went over to our friends' house for supper. Max was excited to play with more friends - Miles and Gisele - and they set up their little pool in the backyard. The kids played really well together! We had a great supper, ending with the best strawberry pie. And then today we went to the beach!

Last week of school

This past week was Max's last of his first year of school. So hard to believe another school year is over! I think he had a really good year at school. He had a couple weeks in the middle of the year where he was having a hard time being too much of a follower to another boy who wasn't being a very good friend but I think we worked through that. I know he had a lot of fun, made some good friends, and loved his teachers. He'll be going back in the fall. I think he might miss it over the summer and wonder about seeing his friends. I'm glad we decided to put him in school this year. And now a couple comparison pictures...

Summer!

It's not quite summer, I realize, but since it's been hot since January it might as well be. So to celebrate the heat...Max's first sprinkler playing of the season

and my first tomato!

Happy summer!
