Summer Fun Part 2

More summer highlights:

*Soccer games for Kaitlyn and practices in 100+ degree weather - yuck!

*volleyball camp for Abby - made new friends that were going to her middle school.

*Nerf gun fight with the neighbors

Kaitlyn got a new desk and helped put it together for her room.

 7-11 slurpees on 7/11 day!

 We had dinner at our bishops house.  The conversation with our kids was hilarious and a little embarrassing.  One question the bishop asked the girls was "what do you want to be when you grow up?"  Abby answered, "Awesome! But I'm already that."  

This is Abby's thank you note to the bishop's wife.  The red paper is watermelon (which we had) and she cut out the other pieces of the meal too.

 Playing outside early in the morning when it's cool!  Devin loves playing with his sisters!

 I love how Alec went to bed holding his superheros.  Such a little boy thing to do.

 We spent one afternoon at Legoland and it was so crowded! 

 Legoland ended with the splash pad and I thought we'd be there a long time but the kids were done after about 20 minutes.  Guess the crowds wore them out.

 Devin was sick one week and while we were getting dinner ready we can around the corner to find little Devin asleep on the floor.  Poor little guy.

 Private swimming lessons for Alec because I knew he wouldn't do well in another pool.  Kaitlyn and Olivia were able to get a couple diving lessons in too.  Our teacher was great and was really patient with Alec.  The first lesson, Alec just cried "Mommy!"  the whole time.  I told the instructor just to go ahead and put him under and do whatever he needed to do.  Alec did much better the next lesson and he did learn to swim across the pool by the time we were done with lessons.  The one thing that worked was having me in the pool too and being part of the instruction.

 When it's hot out you go to Chuck E Cheese.  We headed there with cousins to spend an afternoon. 

This is Alec when Chuckie  came out.  Alec screamed and was so terrified that he wouldn't let go of my hand.

 Devin loved the little train ride.

 Kaitlyn won a ton of tickets with some video game.
