Well it has been forever since I have done a blog which is terrible I know! We have had a very busy summer. To start the summer off we went on our annual fishing trip up to the cabin in Northern Minnesota unfortunately we only were able to go for a long weekend over Memorial Day because Isaac had to get back to finish up 1st grade due to them starting so late at the beginning of the year. We had tons of fun and caught lots of walleye in the short time we were there. The boys also enjoyed looking for tadpoles and snails off the dock. They both became pretty good and driving Grandpy Spoo's (aka Spooby's) boat. We also enjoyed breakfast at the Logging Camp and got to take lots of good pictures by the river!
After school was over for the year we moved right into t-ball with the boys. Isaac really didn't want to take part in it this year but since his little brother was going to do it for the first time he decided he would do it with him. The boys seemed to enjoy it but it was hard to sit through 2 nights of it a week for a month. But we all made it through it!
After t-ball we moved right into baseball with Isaac. This was his first year doing real baseball and he really enjoyed it. There were times I had a hard time watching him like the one time he was playing 3rd base and the ball was getting ready to be pitched and his glove was on the ground and he was fixing his hat. After awhile he got the hang of everything and actually did quite well and learned the ropes of baseball. He is very excited to go back and do it again next summer. He has decided his favorite evening activity with the family is playing catch and baseball. Which is just fine so he will have more of a hang of it next year and Eli is learning right along! Isaac's team was so successful this year that they played in the Championship game but came out 2nd. But the boys played really good and still got a medal which they were all happy about!
During baseball season the boys started swimming lessons! This is the first time we have actually signed them up for swimming lessons. Isaac had swimming lessons in school but that was it. We decided since the boys enjoy swimming and we spend about everyday there it was time they actually learned how to swim and swim good. They both passed their Levels and will move up to the next levels this fall or next summer! Fortunately the weather was actually pretty warm in the morning so the boys didn't freeze in the water! Durning swimming lessons they got to go off the diving board. Isaac went off the first day with a life jacket but after that he went without one. Eli had a lifejacket on everytime and was a little scared the first time with the board being above the water a ways. But they both did a fantastic job and love the diving board!
This weekend we went out to Sioux Falls with my parents to the Airshow they had out there and saw a lot of amazing planes. The highlight of the afternoon was the F-22 Raptor & the Blue Angels. They all put on a fantastic show. They had a bunch of inflatable toys for the boys to go on and we got to walk through a passenger airline jet which was nice since the boys nor my parents have ever been on one. They all feel more comfortable that they may actually be able to fly now. Mom and I have been talking about taking a mother/daughter trip somewhere warm in the future. We had a very funfilled day with my parents!
Hopefully we will be able to do a few more fun things this summer. I will do better at updating my blog!
