Both Lily and Jack have been at three different camps and have had a great time at all three. They have had play dates with new and old friends and have had a great summer. Let's review the pics and video...

Every year we spend the 4th of July week at the lake with Marcy's side of the family. This year was great as we got to spend time with Grandma Gail, Grandpa Tom, Aunt Tracy, Uncle Stan, Cousins Garrett and Case, Aunt Kelly and Cousins Alli and Davis and dogs Rimsky and Bodie. It was a very nice week (despite the first real rain we ever have had there) and the days just flew by.

Lily really got her waterskiing skills down this year. She did great.
Jack got in on the act this year as well.
Towards the end of the summer, Jack swam in his first swim meet. Just before the meet started, Jack was sitting on the pool deck looking very pensive.
Ready for action.
His swim - he did great and he had a really fun time. He will be ready for next summer!
