Happy Father's Day

A quick week for A^4 with lacrosse games, wine with neighbors, lacrosse practice and Father's Day weekend! We hope that all of our family and friends had time to relax with friends and family!!

Alyson had 2 lacrosse games on Monday against Auburn-they lost both but the kiddos had fun:)


Ayson


Addie's class brought their stuffed animals to school on Tuesday-too cute!


Hahaha- there they are!


Outside reading (in the shade and on blankets)


A few Lime Hollow pics that Addie's teacher shared with the parents.

On Friday we went to Tully's for dinner and of course the kiddos had fun spending their quarters on prizes!


Ayson trying for a big prize


And he had to settle for the game that guarantees a winner every time-only took us 3 visits to figure that out!


On Saturday Addie went shopping with Adam AND she had $20 burning a whole in her pocket...too many stuffed animals to choose from!


Meanwhile, Ayson stayed home with Mumma for a low key day as he was not feeling well :(


Happy Father's Day


Grandpa Chuck and Pama came over for the afternoon.

We made the most of the rainy afternoon by playing GAMES!

End of the School Year and Fun Outside

The school year is winding down and the kids are SO looking forward to sleeping in this summer break!  The weekend was gorgeous and we made sure to make the most of the warm weather!  We hope all of our family and friends were able to play outside too!!!!

Thunder and Shadow sleeping :)




Ayson started lacrosse - practices are on Monday and Wednesday AND his fist game is on the 10th!


The kiddos received gifts from Mrs Racculia, a teacher from school:)


We all had fun playing the Smart Cards with Ayson!


Addie with her Important Book and gifts from Mrs Racculia


Gorgeous evening on Thursday so we rode bikes!


Pretty flowers










On Friday, the First Graders took their field trip to Lime Hollow.
The kids pretending to be deer and trying to "sneak" up to the child at the other end - the deer were not very good and being quiet :)






Addie's friend, Trista, wanted to hold Mumma's and her Mommy's hand :)


The kids touching a frog!


Mrs Terrell's first graders!


On Friday evening, Addie invited Mikhan over to spend the night since Ayson was sleeping over at Grady's house!  The girls played games inside and outside and made "tricks" for Ayson and Adam to find


Look!  A baby green pepper :)


Smores!




Finally!  A poppy has bloomed!


On Saturday, we went to Grandpa Chuck and Pama's for Pama's 60th Birthday Party Celebration!  The cousins had a blast in the pool - poor Addie had purple lips she was so cold!  It was nice to catch up with family we have not seen in a while.


Julie, Mike (a friend from high school) and Adam


Too much fun!


But wait!  We had to get home Saturday night so that we could change and go down to the apple festival grounds for the last Scout event for the year.
The award ceremony


Addie rallied and had fun hanging with the other girls (including Mikhan) at the Scout event


Sunday was gorgeous AND since we were all caught up with the gardening, we went kayaking for the first time this summer!
There were so many cars in the little parking lot of Labrador!  Tons of people had the same idea.

Addie wanted to paddle


Amy, Addie, and Ayson being towed!


Ah, the life - feet up and letting the wind push him back!




We rounded out the day with a little bit more pool time at Neighbor Gianna's pool

The water was cool and the kids were not in for long BUT they had fun!


Adam and Ayson made chicken shish kebabs for dinner - yum!!!
