The kids both attended Challenger soccer camps the week after school was out. I was thoroughly impressed with what they learned! The coaches at these camps are soccer players from Europe. Their skill and patience were highly extraordinary! The kids respond well to them and it was a fun camp to watch.
These last 2 weeks have been devoted to swimming lessons. Dylan wasn't too thrilled that I wanted him to take one more year of lessons but he's adapted well to HAVING to be in the pool every day! His goal is to go off the high dive this summer. However.....his little sister beat him to it last night! She bravely went out and jumped off that thing! I couldn't believe it when she leaped into the air without a care in the world! She did it again today in lessons, much to every one's amazement. I'm impressed because I won't go near it!
We went camping for Father's Day weekend. We met my parents, Robyn and Kim and Erin at Lake-Wenatchee_State_Park. This part of the state is gorgeous right now. Unfortunately, the weather threw some pretty heavy winds at us so we didn't get to get the boats out and no one was able to fish, but the weekend was outstanding!
Steve and Dylan spent the weekend at Cub Scout camp while I attended one of my classes. Dylan, once again, raved about the BB Gun target practice and the archery. No pictures of their weekend but lots of stories! Dylan got to go out biking with the Cheesemans yesterday. He came back after riding 13 miles full of energy and stories. Apparently they found a geocache and a hummingbird nest. Not bad for a summer afternoon!
While the rest of the family was gone, Lyndsi got to go to Spokane where she was treated as royalty! She and Nana put on a tea party for Grandma and friends Nancy and Claire. Apparently it was quite the event! Then she and Nana and Papa went to McDonald's for dinner - I think Nana and Papa were exhausted! On Sunday, the 3 of them went downtown to Hoopfest and were able to watch David Pendergraft (from Gonzaga basketball) play. They had lunch at The Olive Garden and played in a waterpark that evening. Holy canoli! I'm exhausted just writing it all down!
Tea Party
Check out the strawberries dipped in chocolate - yum!
The babies got their own table.
Ruth had a bit of a scare this week. She had a growth on her head that continued to grow so we opted to have it removed. Poor thing had a reaction to her anesthesia and had what the vet called "Malignant Hyperthermia". Scary word! Basically, Ruth had a panic attack. That, combined with the anesthesia caused her body temperature to rise so high that the vet had to give her fluids and douse her with water to cool her off. I guess it was a bit of an iffy situation for a while. She's fine now, other than the yucky looking stitches on her head, but she was pretty shaken for a couple of days.
Dylan and I worked on cleaning out his room today. Wow! That kid accumulates junk quicker than I can count to ten. I was pretty proud of him, though. He went through all his toys and got rid of several boxes full. Guess it's yard sale time!
