Tennis morning

Private tennis lessons from mom. It was good to get on the court and they both did a great job.

White Rock Lake

The boys and I woke up before the sunrise, filled our Camelbaks and headed into Dallas for an early morning bike ride around White Rock Lake. It was so beautiful and peaceful. We made it 5.18 miles. Unfortunately, Cameron's bike is way too small and he worked twice as hard as Carson and I did for the same distance. I really think that we can make it the full 9 miles once Cameron gets the right size bicycle.

Hawaiian Falls

Had a perfect summer day at Hawaiian Falls with some of our best friends. Life is good.

Art Co-op - Jean DuBuffet

The kids had a lot of fun creating sculptures inspired by Jean DuBuffet. Then the typical playtime in my bedroom. 






Apple Camp

The boys are making movies using GarageBand at Apple Camp. Fun three day camp




Shakespeare in the Park

Cameron's fencing instructor gave us a lot of tickets to Shakespeare in the Park and we share them with some of our friends. Tonight we enjoyed the best production of Romeo and Juliet that I've seen. We brought a picnic dinner of sushi, La Croix and adult beverages.  It was a beautiful night.

Acids and Bases

Fun summertime chemistry




Epic Watergun Fight?


Seriously, this was set up for all the kids to destroy each other with water guns but many of them chose to chat about Minecraft during this playday. We even carefully selected the perfect water gun at Target for 20 minutes which was actually longer than the epic water gun fight.

Park Day

It is so nice to be able to have school finished in a couple of hours and have all the free time to explore, learn, socialize and enjoy life.



Hiking Fun

We absolutely love getting out with our hiking group. Here are a few recent hikes including one at the Dallas Arboretum (of course that one was followed with yummy popsicle from Steel City Pops.

Still cute as ever and up to no good.



Solding

My boy soldered his own circuit board and it worked!
