Our lazy days of summer

The weekend I was in Utah the kids spent some time with Grandma and Grandpa Darrington. They built sand creations, magnetic block creations, played outside, enjoyed some movies, and played away their days. Casey took the kids to the Western days parade that Saturday. After the parade they got to go do the Home Depot craft and made cars.

The next Monday the kids started They have practice on Mondays and meets on Wednesdays for four weeks. Their first meet was on the sixth. Peter is still in the young category so he is doing hurdles, 50 m dash, and the long jump. Kendal chose to do the long jump, hurdles, shot put, and 400 so far this summer. They both did well and tried their best in their events.
The second meet both Kendal and Peter did better in their long jumps, and Kendal improved in her shot put.

First meet - June 6th

Second meet - June 13th

Casey has had basketball open gyms this month. The basketball girls have a few tournaments this summer. The second weekend in June Casey went with the girls for a tournament in Pocatello. They lost a few games and won two over the course of a couple days. For having a team made up of a few different grades, who haven't really played together, and playing some bigger schools they did fine.
That same weekend I took the kids to Logan. We haven't been in a few months do it was nice to go visit. The kids were in heaven making projects with Grandpa Loosle. They each made a "treasure" chest and Kendal got a bonus fridge for her American Doll. Grandpa spoiled them with tool boxes and things to go in them. They  putt them together Thursday and Kendal painted hers Friday. We ate at Adams park Friday for lunch. We got to see David, Anica, Elliot, and Isaac, and they got to join us each evening for dinner and play. The boys are growing up too fast. Saturday was our busy day. I took the kids down to ride for wheelers at the shop with Grandpa. Kendal loved it, Peter wanted to go very fast, and Alice was hesitant bit ended up doing a few rounds around the lot. Afterwards we hit up Gossners and took lunch out to visit Nana. The kids love visiting and playing at Nana's house. Later in the afternoon Grandma and I took the kids to Tony's to play with Billie's kids on his water blow up slide. They had so much fun together. Kendal ran around with Emma. Peter played away with Ben. Alice had fun with little Maggie playing in the water and eating snacks.

 This summer the kids have daily to dos. They have reading and a chore each day. Then they alternate between work books and educational tech time the other days. Peter has a summer goal of learning to tell time. Kendal wants to improve her cursive and continue piano practicing. Both kids earned their first reading reward from Barnes and Noble and got to go pick out books! They've also each earned a "date" out with mom and dad. We took them out individually for lunch and quality time Kendal went with me, and Peter with Casey.
 We pulled out our kiddie pool to play I this past week. It was really cold so Alice was shivering and done pretty quickly. Kendal and Peter played with our neighbor Echo in it. Also bonus pictures of our lazy summer days.
