Eight week of summer- July 18th - July 24th

You guessed it- more of nothing! Homework time, pool, gym, tae kwon do, and playing outside. The one special thing this week was the birth of my cousin's second son. Welcome to the world Shepherd Henry Scott!

Seventh week of summer- July 11th-July17th take two

After a few days in Ft. Myers we headed up to Orlando for Daddy's family reunion. We only stayed until Saturday. People were pretty much doing their own thing and Kendrick's mom and brother weren't able to make it this year. (We sure did miss them.) We haven't been to a reunion since we were married! Hopefully next year we can all make it and maybe even have a family vacation! We did take the kids to SeaWorld and they loved it! Here are a few shots from the hot day!

Getting ready for the seal and walrus show!

Clyde and Seemore

After the show the kids feed the seals outside!

Then we saw the dolphin and whale show. It was my favorite.
They have so much more going on with birds and acrobats. Loved it!

Manatees

Alligators

Shamu show

Posing on the whales that are in front of the stadium.
Daddy didn't take one that showed the whole whale!

They have a whole kids section with rides.
We did the flying tea-cups, roller coaster and the carousel.

Seventh week of summer- July 11th-July 17th part one

This week was a little more exciting! We went on vacation. The first part of our vacation was in Ft.Myers, Florida. We went to the beach, lots of bike rides, the pool, fishing and played putt-putt. Thank you Grammie and Poppa for having us!

On our way to fish on the river!

Jr was the first one to catch something!

Kennedy wasn't far behind! We ended up with five catfish and two other fish!

Heading out to the beach. We waited until low-tide and dinner time.

Love it!

Putt-putt at Jungle gold in Ft. Myers. I played at this same place allllllll the time as a kid! We always went when people came to visit. Hasn't changed.

Jr. got a hole in one on this hole and then again on 16!

We tried to take our own photos on the beach one evening.
Didn't turn out the very best - but oh well!
I love this one!

Sixth week of summer- July 5th-July 10th

This week wasn't too exciting. Same kind of stuff- gym, pool, program at the library, four year old check up for jr, and a trip to the Peachtree-Dekalb airport playground. The program at the library this time was a juggler that the kids really liked. The PDA playground is a great concept just really hot this time of year. There is a playground right near the runway at this single engine and corporate jet airport where the kids can play and watch the planes at the same time.
At juniors four year old check-up he was 40lbs (82%) and 43 inches tall (94%). He had gained 5 pounds and grew three inches.

Fourth of July!

Some of my dad's family headed up to the lake on the 4th - so we went with them! I spent a lot of time at this lake house when I was little and it has a lot of great memories for me. This is the first time my family has been up there all together - so I was super excited to go! We had a water balloon fight, played on the slip and slide, went on the wave runners, swam in the lake, went on a boat ride and tubed. Great, great day and I can't wait for a repeat! That night we just did some fire crackers in the drive way. We did learn that you can go up the hill from our house and see some though. We will do that next year- fireworks without the crowd and the noise!

Getting the water balloons ready!

The slip and slide was a hit! Jr loved it and I am going to have to buy one for the house now!

There goes Kennedy!and daddy! He flew right off the extra tarp and got bad grass burn!

Kennedy and daddy on the wave runner. She went at least three times. Jr only went once with my cousin Martin. I didn't get a picture though. :(Playing catch with daddy. My uncle's dog got in on the action too!Here is Kendrick giving Sara her first ride in a jeep. She loved it!Back home watching daddy like some firecrackers. Once we got back inside I started getting the shower ready for the kids. I turned around and Kendrick was on the floor telling me he was "exhausted".

Jr's birthday take two!

My parents gave Kendrick a huge blow up ball that you climb in and can roll around in. After his party we came back to the house with Aunt Natalie and Graham, blew it up and had some fun! Then we ate, took baths and opened up the rest of the gifts. What a great day!

Graham sat in it but that was enough for him!

Not sure who they are rolling here? Maybe Natalie?Mommy's turn!Here is Aunt Natalie after her turn!Here is Daddy- I think he was trying to get inside on this picture. Lot's of presents. He loved them all!

July 3rd- Kendrick Jr's 4th birthday!

July 3rd was Kendrick Jr's fourth birthday and he had his party at Monkey Joe's ( like sister did in April). This was his first birthday party with friends. Here are some pictures from his day!
