Carnival time

This week we went to the Carnival which has become an annual thing for us.  Each year the kids are a little bigger but not so big that they don't still want me to ride with them.  Emmy chose a caramel apples with sprinkles for her treat and Bobby got a huge sno cone.  We also went to Raging Rivers and I rode down the slides with them.  Bobby's giggles on the slides were priceless and I appreciated the exercise of carrying multiple inner tubes up MANY stairs to get to the top of the slides.  I was the only old person going down slides but I am always grateful that I am healthy and adventurous enough to join in on the fun.  Emmy got invited a second time this week to go to Raging Rivers which meant Bobby and I took a trip together to get dilly bars.  His melted so fast that half of it fell to the ground but he didn't cry or complain.  A few minutes later as we were walking away he said, "Well mom, this day was kind of good."  I asked why it wasn't great and he told me that the incident with his ice cream put a little bit of a damper on it.  I then told him I would but him a milk shake that couldn't break off and fall to the ground and the day was looking up again.

Inflatable 5K, camps and other fun times

Bobby had basketball camp for a few days last week and I always came a little early to watch him in action.  On the last day there were awards and I was surprised and excited to see that he won two.  One for a shooting game (3rd place) and his scrimmage team got 1st place.

Emmy took a quick trip to the ranch to ride horse and hang out with her cousins.  She loves the horse Ruby!

Emmy and I have been journaling this summer and I came across this part that she had written and my heart was so happy!

Another year of the inflatable 5K and it was a hot one!  Robb avoided the obstacles but the kids and I didn't miss any.

Emmy had a 2 day volleyball camp and she really had fun.  Bobby and I spent that time while she was away at the library and doing some shopping!

One of my former students opened a new business and so we stopped by the kid friendly open house to support her.  The kids were very good and they had fun eating and playing.  Bobby chose face paint that was a dinosaur that looked like it was opening its mouth when Bobby opened his.  We laughed at him eating a hot dog watching that dino also open his big mouth.
