Summer Recap - Shayla

Over the summer I didn't take much time to post pictures. We had a quite laid back summer with a few fun camps here and there. The kids had fun with their friends and we stayed up late and enjoyed time as a family. I thought it would be nice for my family to see a couple of things that we didn't get to from the summer time.

Shayla loved LOVED drama camp. The theme for their camp was the "Wizard of Oz." I was so impressed with how much they learned in a half day one week camp. Her part in the play was one of the munchkins. She learned her line the first day and loved singing the songs.

Another high light for Shayla's summer was losing her first tooth. She use to cry and cry when Nathan would lose a tooth. In her mind her teeth could not fall out fast enough. Finally she feels like a big kid.

Labor Day Weekend 2010

We had a wonderful weekend pack with all kinds of activities. On Friday we started off the weekend with Nathan's first flag football game. I was very impressed with how he played. More than anything I enjoyed seeing him have success at something he doesn't think he's very good at. Each time he had a great play his coaches were right there to give him a high five and the look on his face was priceless. He had two games this weekend and they didn't win either one but you would not have known from the reaction of the coaches or the kids on the team. That's what I want most of all winning would just be icing on the cake.

Saturday Shayla's Daisy troop was invited to ride on a float for the Labor Day parade. Only three of the girls could make it but it didn't really matter the one's that came had a great time. Thankfully it was beautiful here on Saturday.

Nathan took pictures during the parade and did a great job. He took over 800 pictures. From what I could tell he really enjoyed the cars and getting a picture of what was on the side of each one. Flags were a big hit. He enjoyed telling me about all the different things he saw and I think he found something else he really enjoys.

We ended the weekend with some time with friends at our local town festival and swimming at a local park.

We only have two days of school this week so we have another fun weekend ahead. Can't wait!!!
