Weekend Wrap-Up

Fitting in all the end of summer fun around here!

Kael has been teaching Kase to play the guitar and I think it's the sweetest thing. 

 

Kylee had a friend sleepover after volleyball camp last week so we ran them plus Kase and his buddy up to the Briarwood pool for a twilight swim and it was so fun.

I've been wanting to take the kids to Adventureland all summer but their schedules never seem to match up.  We finally had a free day last week so we went for it!

When we arrived, we discovered that Kase wasn't wearing shoes (seriously?!0 but lucky for us his buddy was meeting us there and hadn't left home yet so he stopped by our house and picked them up.  

Kase got brave and tried a few new rides!

The water park was a huge hit because it was so hot that day.

And, of course, ice cream on the way out! The lady kept piling on the biggest scoops I've ever seen even though we only ordered a single scoop! It took Kylee like a half hour to finish hers- ha!

That night Kent brought the TV outside, grilled hot dogs and we watched the Field of Dreams game.  SO cool!

We made it a fun baseball family night and played 9-square knockout.  Loved seeing Kael and Kylee have fun with this.

Friday Kylee ended up going to the lake with her friend for the weekend.  They had a blast!

The rest of us went tubing! Met up with my parents and Mandy's family too.

The captain of our ship.

The kids all had fun together and Kase and Tyson especially loved trying to catch fish with their bare hands at the dock! We had dinner at the pizzeria in Polk City afterwards which was so fun.

Saturday morning Kent and Kase went early to the MVP tournament to get all checked in.  Kael had football so I was home alone just getting ready for a day full of baseball!

This tournament was really cool- the kids had to be nominated by another coach to qualify for being there.  The kids got two jerseys, a backpack with their name on it, bag tags, a hat AND a ring!!

Kase had one Crew guy on his team and two Crew friends on another team.

Kent coached Kase's team. They went 2-0 on Saturday! Kael worked Saturday night and Sunday morning so we didn't get to see much of him this weekend.

Saturday night Kase took a buddy to the Barnstormers games.  They had so much fun.

Especially when Kent ran into a friend there who invited them to come sit in the front row with them! The boys loved being right in on the action.

Sunday we were back at it  early with baseball!

Here is Kase playing against one of his best buddies who is playing third base. We ended up losing this game which was our only loss all weekend.

Talking a little smack to each other.  Ben and Kase were the pitchers battling out in the championship game. Kase was happy with a walk.

I'm just so proud of Kase and how hard he works.  He was dialed in this weekend.

Champs!!!

Kase just loves the game so much and had fun making new friends this weekend.

We got home hot and tired and Kylee got home about the same time as us.  We unpacked then spent the rest of the night relaxing.  It was great to be home with just our fam.  Now, a busy week ahead before school starts in a week!
