Summer "Studies"

After getting home from vacation, it was time to settle into a bit of a routine for a couple of weeks. We like to do a little learning and a lot of fun! CSISD offered the summer track program again this year, and Cade is probably their happiest participant! He had one friend from school join him this year, and we were very happily surprised to find the Langdon kids there, all the way from Austin! Track camp is very sweaty, but neither kid seems to mind. Even though Annie is too young to enroll, she stays active the whole time too!




Cade also did a week-long basketball camp with Garrett, and that was great fun too!



Cade and Annie had swim lessons for 2 weeks, and accomplished their goals - swimming to the surface for Annie, and side breathing for Cade! Cade moved too fast for any pictures, but we were so proud of him for learning this so quickly. He has also almost mastered diving! Both kids had instructions to do "big ice cream scoops" for their strokes, so of course we rewarded them with big scoops of Spoons for being such good listeners at the lessons!



Cade also graduated to the next belt level in karate. They got to demonstrate their form and sparring at the graduation, and we were super proud of him, as always.



One of our summer goals was to put handles on our cabinets. That means that 62 holes had to be drilled... using my Opa's trusty drill! The kids also like summer science projects, so we did a little fizzy one with baking soda, food coloring, and vinegar one morning.
