Weekend Wrap-Up

Summer feels like it's flying by already! Here's how we spent our weekend.

Friday, Kael had basketball camp, then in the afternoon we went to Dairy Queen, also stopped by and visited my grandma.  Later, the kids had a sleepover at Grandpa Keith and Grandma Cindy's.  Kent and I had plans to go out, possibly to the Nadas concert downtown, but it was sooo hot that we ended up going downtown with some good friends, then back to Ankeny for a late dinner at a new restaurant.  Locals, we weren't super impressed with District 36. Have you been?

Kylee has spent a lot of time working on Reading Bingo- summer "homework" from her second grade teacher.  If she gets a blackout, she can turn it in for a prize at the beginning of the school year in the fall! There are some fun things on the list like, "Read under the kitchen table" and "Read to someone who doesn't know how yet".  Here, Kylee did both!

Saturday morning the kids had triathlon practice. Kael loved his new swim cap! 

After that, we headed up to Collins to celebrate "Blaken" which is what Kase calls twins Blake and Brecken. Had fun hanging with them and trying to beat the heat in Aunt Chris's pool!

Came home, then went over to a friends' house to grill out.  It was a family we hadn't hung out with in nearly a year, so it was fun catching up with them while the kids jumped on their trampoline and played in the sprinklers.  

Sunday after church we had a quick lunch with my mom, then Kent and I went to a memorial tree planting for a friend while the kids played at my mom's house.  Picked them up and headed straight to the pool, where we spent the better part of the afternoon.  It's crazy how hot it is already this summer! After dinner, we had a family game of kickball then headed to some neighbors for more water fun.  Slip and slides and water guns helped keep the kids cool! Also, had our first s'mores of the summer! Safe to say, Kase enjoyed his.

We had some happy, tired kiddos by Sunday night! We have a super busy week ahead as it seems like every camp I signed the kids up for falls during this week.  Also, the forecast is HOT again, so I'm sure we'll be spending all our free time at the pool! How was your weekend?
