Naomi's dance show

 Not really a recital yet; more a show-the-parents-what-we've-learned-in-four-weeks.

2020 Soccer Season is a Wrap

The last day of soccer was a chilly morning but we didn't quite need coats and mittens as we have in some years.  

 Abbey and Ethan finished the season undefeated, just one tie short of a perfect record.  Isaac's team did not win but he was one of the best players, and Luke and Naomi---who knows what the score was, but they were always in there playing hard!

 

 

More soccer!

 My turn to watch Luke and Naomi while Debbie was watching Isaac's game.

First chilly day of soccer!

First lost tooth for Luke!

Summer Fun

Isaac caught his first fish!

Luke and Naomi at McCaw Park

Isaac is a fearless tree climber; much like his dad was.

Only a few months ago Luke begged for help with these

So did Naomi!

She's pretty good at tree-climbing too.

4th of July sparklers.  We don't usually light things on fire inside the garage, but it was a windy day.

Summer Camping

We talked and talked about how to camp this year: one big tent for everyone?  Bunkbed cots?  Two tents?  And finally settled on renting a cabin so we didn't have to haul all the tenting supplies.  Felt a little like cheating but Monday the rain came down in like the proverbial cats and dogs, and it was very nice to not be in a tent!

Abbey, reading about cowboys cooking over campfires.  Not shown: face she made after she saw the camera.

Ethan was the only one of us all who actually managed to catch a fish, but sadly I wasn't there to get a picture.

Swimming in the creek!

Even on a hot day the water was pretty cold.

Didn't stop them, though!

They'd "hide" underwater if they saw the camera, but I caught them anyway.
