School has ended! I now have a 4th, 7th and 10th grader in the fall. They all finished strong!
Here is a picture of Joseph's field day.
Jacob's grade did a color run
On the last day of school, we had ice cream sundaes. Lots of toppings to choose from
Benjamin has officially gotten into driver's ed and will have class July 8 - Aug 9. After the first week of class, we will start working on his 50 hours of drive time. It will be interesting because 10 of those hours must be night time driving. This is a hard feat, given that it is light at 5:30am and does not get dark until around 10pm! So, looks like some midnight drives are in our near future.
He will also be starting football practices. So he will have football two days a week from 7-9am and then driver's ed every day from 9am -11am. Then he is hoping to work 15-20 hours a week, but has yet to secure a job.
Jacob is spending lots of time with friends at the skate park. It amazes me how they can spend 8 hours there! The weather has been cooler, so that has been very nice for being outside.
The development behind our house is still moving along. There are over 40 plots that are somewhere between foundation dug to house completed. It looks like they will be paving a lot of roads soon, which will make for great walking/biking.
Joseph and I recently took a trip to Ohio for Kolby's graduation. Pretty nice, low key week hanging with family. A few pictures from the airport. Can you see the enthusiasm at 5am!
He was wiped out! I loved how he just fit under the armrest.
We went to a place called Play Cleveland. Really fun, with high ropes course, ninja warrior type things, climbing wall, etc. A place we will visit again.
In the picture below (because I can't find the actual picture), if you look just to the left of Joseph's arm, there is a long vertical punching bag of sorts. And to the left of that is a blue platform. I climbed onto the platform and jumped and wrapped myself around the bag. Pretty cool, but boy, was that platform small.
Some other pictures from the trip.
