Summer Days

As the first day of school neared, our "end" of summer got quite busy with lots of fun.

We made salsa a couple of times with my mom:

 We spent many evenings in the back yard practicing pitching:

We made tie-dye shirts:

We got back into gymnastics:

We attended big birthday bashes:

We spent a ton of time swimming at various places:

We saw Garth-freaking-Brooks:

We sought out mountain sunsets:

We went to the fair:

We spent evenings watching Carter play football:

We practiced softball at home and at Settlers more times than I can count:

We played hard and crashed even harder:

We spent a long night at the ER:

We spent many days/evenings walking the greenbelt and splashing around along the way:

Needless to say, it has been one hell of a fun summer!

Gymnastics!

Since Carter is about to start Y-Ball, I asked Kendall what sport she would like to do for the fall/winter months. Her first answer was ballet. I just couldn't.do.it. Bad mom, I know! I talked her into doing gymnastics instead, and this week was her first lesson. She had such a good time and it was so fun to watch her.
