It Keeps You Runnin'

Summer is rocketing by in these parts.  Last week saw the end of the summer swim season - the unofficial mid-point of the summer.

Lily had a great last week of nature camp and Jack enjoyed his week at his camp.  Lily learned all about Native Americans and Jack was busy with African animals and snakes.  It was a busy week.

On Friday we had movie night - after a busy week the kids were exhausted and needed a nice quiet night at home.

On Saturday we ran off to Costco in the morning - a favorite spot of Jack's since he loves all the samples they have out.  Then we headed up to Columbia to pick up Lily's packet for her first triathlon.  We had her bike safety checked and came home for dinner with friends Debbie and Bill and Fisher and Stuart.  Fisher was doing the triathlon as well so the kids carb loaded away.

On Sunday we got up super early for Lil's race.  The kids were excited and had a great time at the race. After the race we came home for  a few hours and then headed off to the Washington Nationals game.  The weather was nice and the Nats won so everyone had a great time.  We finished off the afternoon on the field as the kids got to run the bases.  We came home from the game and the exhausted kiddies passed out.

Busy week ahead as Aunt Tracy, Uncle Stan, Cousins Casey and Garrett and Frisco are visiting for the week.

On to the pictures ...
