Summer Days


We are quickly approaching the end of July and that means there are only four more weeks of summer (Hadley only goes one day the first week so she pretty much has five weeks of summer).  

The past few weeks we've had some busy days and some lazy days- trying to squeeze in some fun while we can.  

Riley spent five days at the beach with Gammy and Poppy - sounds like she had a great time. 

She's been running 4-5 days a week for cross country this fall- she's ran almost 50 miles this summer.  I'm super proud of her.  I think she loves it and hates it at the same time- if that's possible.   We're looking into getting her some lax training as well since her team doesn't start practice until this fall.  

Riley had a pool party with some good friends a couple weeks ago and is off to Carowinds today with her bestie.  


Hadley had summer camp last week at her preschool - she loved it.  She likes to be busy and I like when she's busy.  Too much down time for her means she's a beast.  We've certainly had some meltdowns from Miss Hadley.    

But- she's had a few playdates, gone swimming TONS, went to the movies with Paa Paa and Riley and painted lots of cool pics for me!  

She has her last camp of the summer next week (a dance camp) and is very excited about it.  We also signed her up for softball (essentially t-ball)... she wanted to try it this fall.  So no soccer this fall.  She's also taking a dance class on Wednesday afternoons- which she is over the moon about.  


Hadley entertaining herself at baseball... 


And of course we've spent lots of time at the baseball field this summer.  Jack's team has played two games every Tuesday night all summer and two games every Saturday.  This week Jack's team played Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night.... the lost last night so their tournament is over.   Jack was cleared to play infield early last week so he's played the last 7 games and it's been fun to watch him play.   Now he has some time off to enjoy the last few weeks of summer.  

We've spent lots of time in the pool and plan on doing so to end the summer.   The boys head to Chicago August 11-13 to see the Cubs and have some guy time.  Riley wants me to take her to the Bahamas.  HA!  Maybe we can make it work one day.  




Oh yeah - Jack completed drivers ed yesterday.   I took this video a few weeks ago when we let Jack drive my car one night in the unfinished neighborhood across the street.  


Only pic I got of Jack this week.  He spent four hours a day the last three days driving (with an instructor and another student).  He said it went well and he's looking forward to getting his permit in September.  


Until next time....
