Weekend Wrap-Up

We had a really nice family weekend.  Friday night we had a few options of things to do- Kael had wanted to go to the football game but then decided he was pretty hot at tired from Pond Day at his school.  There was also a youth group event at our church, but we didn't feel like splitting up and going all different directions so we decided to all go together to see the Lego Ninjago movie.  The movie itself wasn't our absolute favorite but it was a nice way to spend the evening. We stopped for FroYo on the way home- a sweet end to our night!

Saturday morning Kylee had a volleyball game.  She has so much fun playing and her team is a really great group of girls.  We also got our first experience learning how to do the scoreboard and line judging.  The girls had fun with that!

After volleyball, I fun bullied Kent into going to Adventureland.  It was the last day of the season that we would be able to go and the kids have been asking him to be able to join us all year! It was HOT out but his ticket was super discounted and by all accounts it was totally worth it.

That's Kent and Kael up on the far left!

Ready to get on the Sky Ride!

Kent says his favorite part of the day was the ice cream shop.

We had a lot of fun and everyone was hot and tired when we got home.  We turned on the Hawkeye game on in the garage, set out some snacks, and had some neighbors join us to watch it! The kids all had fun together and it turned out to be a great game!

Sunday after church Kylee headed off to a friend's birthday party and the boys had football games. Kase was up first and had a great time at his game.  He scored a couple touchdowns AND got double snack and Gatorade afterwards so it doesn't get much better than that! 

In between games I had volleyball practice to coach so Keith and Cindy hung out with Kase and helped him make this awesome fort for a Nerf gun war! 

Kael's game was next.  He had been so excited for his game all week.  Kael mostly plays defense but gets in on offense occasionally and today he caught a pass and ran for a touchdown! I was so happy for him.  Also, his team won on a last second play so it was a really fun game. 

We celebrated after the game with ice cream all around! Kylee had just finished cross country practice in time to join us! 

Whew.  A fun, family-filled, busy, hot weekend.  The kids are all really enjoying the sports they are playing right now which makes all the running around to practices and things so worthwhile.  Have a great week, everyone!
