Weather Camp

Grace also spent a week at "Weather Camp."  She learned a lot about meteorology and weather systems and was excited to go every day.

Grace missed her and refused to move :)

Summer Fun

Maxed Out

I've been trying to post for a few weeks and I kept getting errors.  I finally figured out I maxed out the "free blog" :)   I had to purchase some additional storage and I'll be back soon....

Reading Camp

Grace has spent three weeks this summer at reading camp.  She has really enjoyed herself and is learning a lot!  She brings home books to read as homework and is really improving.  She is starting to recognize words and apply them- such as "Women" on a restroom sign means that one is hers.  They have also been studying about recycling in her classes.  Here are some pictures from a parade they did with costumes they made from recycled materials

Grace has really taken the recycling to heart and has been questioning everything she uses as to whether it can be recycled.  The other day she walked into the kitchen, looked in the trash, saw a gatorade bottle Jack had just thrown in there, pulled it out, put it in the recycle basket and walked away shaking her head, without a word :)

Love These Two :)

Father's Day AND Nana Jeanne!

Since we spent the  night in the hotel, breakfast was easy but not much selection :)

Grace was SO excited about the gift she picked out for Jack.  She had the idea weeks before and asked me to find her one to give him.  She knew he would LOVE it!

After our celebration we continued home.  But, we made a very special stop to see my favorite client turned adopted Grandmother- Nana Jeanne in North Carolina.  I have missed her since she moved away two years ago and we were so glad to see her!

Jeri's Wedding

On Saturday morning we celebrated Father's Day with Pop.

Then we headed off to Jack's cousin Jeri's wedding.  It was a beautiful day!

Beach and more

On Friday morning we took off driving to where Jackie "thought there was a beach."  And actually- he found it!  The girls enjoyed looking for shells and running on the beach.

Jack did some dives off the board and Kate got up on the board right behind him everytime.  So we decided to give her a try.  She did it about 10 times before we finally decided to video it so she was pretty tired in this video but still loved it!

Thursday- Virginia

On Thursday we played at the house and did some swimming

 Crazy Kate was not allowed on the dock without a life preserver :)

Grace entertained us with a magic show that she and Kristen created.  She was amazing!

The girls enjoyed fishing
