The kids go back to school next week and what a summer it has been! We have watched LOTS of Maddox's baseball games. Learned more about softball. We have cheered on Liesel during her horse shows and supported Milo in his mission to be better at golf. We have slept in until 11:00 and woken up at 5:00 to walk before the heat of the day. We have had all the sleepovers. We have played at water world and vacationed with family. We have made memories!
Liesel's last day in elementary school. Saying goodbye to Van Arsdale and hello to the summer
Maddox has truly built incredible friendships with his baseball team mates this year.

Scott and I met up with some of our favorite hockey families for some good ole fashion axe throwing. It was such a fun night.

Liesel and Scott doing their thing on Father's Day
Maddox's team won CABA state for 9UAA this year.
Dad was there cheering him on (and hanging with Milo, and working Liesel's horse show) on Father's Day. Earlier this week someone asked Scott how he has enjoyed the summer off with his kids this year. He replied "It has been fun really getting to know them." Can't beat that.
