We said goodbye to the longest summer break ever (since we have been out of school since the first week of March).
July was a good month! We escaped quarantine and headed to the Lake for 14 days!
It was so nice to have a change of scenery and new people to play with!
We spent the first 10 days with lots and lots of cousin time.
Hasil enjoyed her first trip to the lake. She liked the water and really liked riding in the boat.
We watched the fireworks like always!
We took our annual cousin picture!
All the kids had a blast doing all the things.
Hudson got up on the wake board, double skis, kneeboard and paddle board behind the boat! She even tried to Slalom and was so close! She also jumped off the roof of our neighbor's house for the first time!
Sullivan had a break out summer and for the first time wasn't afraid to try everything. She jumped off the top, did the kneeboard, wakeboard, double skis and paddle board behind the boat!
Thomas skied, knee boarded and rode the paddle board with PJ.
Conner wasn't much into the water sports but he did ski a little bit and tubed (only for the bribe treat at the end though).
Tinsley really found her place in the water! She jumped off the top, skied, tubed all day with the big kids and rode the paddle board with PJ!
After our cousins left, our friends came up for a few days!
Nothing like 10 kids under 10 for 3 days! But they had a blast and although they have really only met a few times, you would have thought they had been best friends since birth!
When we got home from the lake we got back into the "new normal" way of life. The girls have soccer practice - although without any contact allowed. Thomas finished his baseball season strong! And the twins are enjoying a lot of pool time with our amazing babysitter!
Virtual school starts tomorrow so that should be interesting. Thankfully the babies' preschool opens next week so at least they get to go somewhere!
As always here are the rest of our pictures from July:
