First Half Summatime

Already we have surpassed June into July - halfway through Summer! Actually, probably just past halfway since school will begin back up in about 2.5 weeks now. It has been what we thought - blink and you miss a lot! It has been a lot of fun so far.

We began with a few play dates at our house. Nate had his friend over and we had a pizza and pool party.

The boys went with daddy to a special kind of Cub Scout camp - their last time to go together before Nathan separates into a different group. They were away for three nights and rode horses, fished, did archery...basically spent four days outside up in northern AZ.

Nathan took a babysitting class. Bless his heart, the only guy in the room. I have begun letting him "babysit" off and on for short periods of time during Preston's nap. He's a very responsible guy, it has gone pretty well.

Nate also began a weekly magic class. At the end of July they will have a magic show.

The following week both the boys went to Vacation Bible School in the morning.

In the afternoons that week, Aaron went to a cooking class.

We had a low key Father's Day - we went to daddy's favorite restaurant for breakfast but otherwise had a hang out kind of day. Pretty good reason probably - two days later we left for Hawaii!
