Summer

Today is Labor Day, the official end of Summer so wanted to capture all of our fun times! June was our family vacation month - went to Massanutten, Virginia. We had the best time. Weather was beautiful - we swam, went to their cool waterpark, played golf, did ziplines and a tube hill, the ski lift, played putt-putt - you name it, we did it! Boys especially loved the giant bathtub in our condo! The highlights of July included having visits from our Georgia cousins and Kentucky cousins. Sam stayed busy with Tae kwon do and Ben with Ninja. Sam was able to do the First Tee golf camp out at Shaker Run for the first time. Boys did a vacation bible school that they loved. Sam did an all sports camp at the Y and Ben did a couple Y mini-camps. Made trips to Kings Island - Sam rode the Beast, Adventure Express and Mystic Timbers for the first time! Ben rode Surf Dog and the yellow coaster for the first time! Had a fun day at the Beach waterpark with our friends the Karsner's in early August. Many many parks were visited and many monkey bars were climbed! Had our annual 4th of July party which was fun. We did get sad news that our neighbors were moving - Scarlett and Addy are already in Cleveland. Avey and Gannon will be moving there in less than two months. Other than that, not sure how the Summer could have been any better - we are a very fortunate family. Sammy started 2nd grade and has Ms Elabbassi. Big Snug started Kindergarten and has Ms Murrell. Both seem to love their teachers and are enjoying being back in school. Can't believe our baby is in Kindergarten!!
