Rockin' Daddy

Summer has officially begun! Lily finished up 1st grade on Tuesday and Jack finished up at his preschool on Wednesday! To celebrate, we went to an Orioles game that night - our second annual last day of school baseball game. The game was fun with lots of hits and runs by the players and the kids also had fun in the moon bounce, batting cage and pitching cage.

On Wednesday, Jack brought cupcakes to his friends at school to say goodbye. Lily had her first B meet that night - she swam freestyle and backstroke - she beat her freestyle time by about 6 seconds! Thanks to Grandpa Maurice for coming to cheer Lily on.

On Thursday friends Maddie, Claire, and Eliza came over for lunch and to go to the pool. Jack had his first group swim lesson where he worked on freestyle and Lily had swim practice and then we headed to a pool party for friend Pierce.

On Friday, we finally tackled the basement - trying to organize the chaos - and then headed to the pool which included a swim team pep rally.

On Saturday, friends Brooke, Andersen, and Holden came over for a BBQ - Brooke and Andersen are moving to CO and we are hoping to hit the slopes with them this winter! Later we went to the Bethesda Big Train baseball game, a local college wood bat league that is just down the street - Grandpa Maurice joined us.

On Sunday we celebrated Dad with breakfast in bed and crabs for dinner. We also hung some Fathead sports players - the kids and Dad love the decor, Mom is still on the fence. ;). Hope everyone had a nice Father's Day!

Enjoy the pics and video.
