Since fall is in full swing, I thought a summer time wrap up was in order so I can close out the blogging year and get into book form. July was less eventful, but did include basketball camp for Kyle and a big lake trip with my dad and step-mom. It was really so much fun to spend time with them and the trip brought back lots of memories of going to the lake as a kid. I am glad the boys got that experience. The events of the day usually consisted of swimming, tubing, more swimming, eating, then tubing, tubing and more tubing, the swimming. There are no pictures of the accommodations and we can just that there was good reason for that. The boys of course didn’t care and liked having sleepovers with pipa and grandma deb and going without a shower for two days didn’t kill me. I really hope the lake will be an annual or at least semi-annual thing, just maybe a different venue next year. Upon our return, we immediately started to prepare for what I guess must be a rite of passage for all parents, Kyle’s first sleepover party. I will post the pictures in a separate post because there are some memorable ones. It was complete chaos, but the boys had fun, I think. Mom brought over Lilly and had planned to take Grant and Ryan home with her which ended up being a good plan. I think she just ended up grabbing all of the kids and running like a refuge, I don’t even remember saying goodbye. The make your own Sundae bar was a big hit, especially the sour skittles and I was surprised how much fun they had with the craft (pictured). I grossly underestimated the ease with which they would fall asleep, but after some encouragement from me, the last set of eyes were closed at 2 am. Sounds so cliché, but I can not believe my baby is 8. He is turning into such a great kid, I can barely contain my pride sometimes.
