Field Day!

Field Day! I got to watch Roan, Paige and Olivia engage in lots of games, usually involving water. Below you'll see Distance Shoe Kicking, Scooter Relays, Soaked Roan, Tug of War (Which his class won!) and him with Mrs. Hatcher, whom he loved.

End of Baseball Season Party

Roan ended his first season of Machine Pitch baseball, and loved every minute of it.

Party at the Allen Heights Club House. Pizza, treats and Swimming! Roan also got a medal and gift bag from Coach Frost!

Gluttons for Punishment

What do you do when you get lobster-burnt at the beach? Go back the Next Saturday ofcourse! Our friends, the Youngs and Guymans, were heading to the beach and we couldn't resist another trip. No worries, We sunscreened appropriatley this time. We went to St. Andrew's beach, another beautiful day.

Olivia tried skimming with our friend Emma. She got pretty good too! Avie did some reading, Paige body surfed, and Michael and Roan did some snorkeling. I body surfed with my friends..mostly unsuccessful. There were not many waves to speak of. Emma rode home with us and we stopped at Dippin' Dots for expensive, but yummy icecream. We spent the evening at a BBQ at our friends' home, the Hoopes. The off to a flick, THOR, with the Youngs. It was a good day.

Olivia our Goodwill Ambassador

Olivia was elected as a Goodwill Ambassador for 6th Grade. Her teacher read an introduction while her picture was on the Projector. She didn't know until then that she had been chosen. It was fun to see her suprise...

Later in the month she gets to take a field trip, with the other Ambassadors, to a nursing home then to Mellow Mushroom to make her own pizza and then to the fun factory for the rest of the day. She's really excited!

Panama Beach

The last week of April we headed down to Panama City Beach, the kids had been begging to go and we hadn't been to any beach since Aunts Kris and Lani went with us to Destin in October. It was gorgeous. Warm, but not humid and very breezy. The water was warm as always and very clear. I sunscreened shoulders and faces and we played. For hours. Needless to say we came home crispy. The kids legs were fried, horribly. And I suffered my first real sunburn. We're talking the kids missed school and I barely got out of bed. miserable.

maybe this next photo shows some of the reason legs were burned!

This next photo shows my attempted at body surfing...
