And finally....SUMMER!!!!
No way better to celebrate than with these besties for monday night water polo and dinner!
First week of summer Lenka and I decided to get crazy and take our boys on a camping trip. Lets be real....it was one overnight and it was local so we commuted back for baseball, swim, water polo practices.....but all the same I think we rock for doing it.
Owen wanted to contribute to the trip and therefor made his first batch of rice krispy treats to bring and share.
Heading out with my dudes...
Sushi rolls for lunch (so maybe a little big glamping)
We hiked and explored. We made smores. We made it to all of our practices. The moms stayed up all night taking kids to pee and listening to them snore. All in all it was a successful mom camp!
The next week the boys headed to grandma and gpas for a few days so Brian and I enjoyed a nice date weekend. Kicked off with drinks by the pool.
And then we hiked the hollywood sign the next morning.
We picked up the boys and unfortunately Owen came home sick so we were down for the count for a few days. Scott managed to dodge it and I was able to drop him off at swim practice (for the first time, the only other place I've dropped him for practice has been baseball and our two best friends are the coaches so no worries there). And then by friday we were ready to venture back out. We needed something low key after all the sickness and it worked out perfectly to go blueberry picking with our friends Katie and Jack
And maybe we came home with 7 lbs of blueberries....
Friday night post practice but pre weekend meet we fueled up with sushi
And just like that it was time for our first meet of the year.
The boys had a great time and Scott was especially pleased to beat his times from last year.
Chess with friends....swim meet life
He even won his heat in 50 free. Not to mention he swam his first ever IM (his idea)
After a long weekend of swim we rewarded ourselves by baking blueberry pies.
And on Monday...basketball camp for Scott and his buddies
So while these monkeys played basketball from 9-3 every day....
Owen and I started on Owens, adventure week.
Up first, the BMX bike track with his buddy Reed. Owen had been once before for Reed's birthday and had been talking about it ever since. He had a blast and we hope to start going back more regularly.
Adventure week day two brought new floaties and a swim play date with a friend from school.
Day 3 was shop class where Owen (and I) built this lovely little corner shelf.
And then had the basketball crew over for dinner!
Thursday he chose a bike ride at the beach. We went for miles and miles and eventually found a great spot to park and cross the railroad tracks and explore a "secret beach"
Owen said this was our best adventure yet
And finally rock climbing. Owen put on his bucket list to "climb a mountain with a rope". So we figured it was best to start in a rock climbing gym.
He loved it and is probably hooked now!
