Cole's Summer Vacation Week 3

Cole's plans for this next week are to enjoy some time off. He will still have Piano and swim practice, but the rest of the week is for lazing and hanging out with friends. I am taking a few days off and I look forward to being lazy with him.

Cole's Summer Vacation Week 2

Cole survived the week... barely. Baseball camp was great. The baseball coaches and players at Sac State put on a wonderful camp and Cole really enjoyed it. He survived swim team "Torture Week" at the same time. He attended practice every morning at 6:30 and then again every evening.. He was so tired by the end of the week I thought he would fall asleep in his soup.

Golf with the Niners...

On Thursday, I had the opportunity to play golf at Valley Hi Country Club with my old Niner golf group. What a treat. It was a beautiful day and the course looked great. I shot a 56 which is great for me. I think all the yoga and pilates helps my swing. As a guest you are not in the tournament, so there is not any pressure either. I actually putted better than I ever have. I won the pot for least putts. It paid for my lunch. I spent some time at lunch and after catching up with some friends I had not seen in a long time.

Great way to spend a furough day... :-)

Cole's Summer Vacation Week 1

Cole started his summer vacation with a week of summer camp at Laguna Creek Racquet Club. The kids spend the week playing Tennis, swimming, games and general FUN! The highlight of each week is a field trip on Thursday. This week the kids went to Sunsplash water park in Roseville. Cole had a blast. The best part was getting picked up in a Hummer Limousine. To keep him humble and get him into swim team shape we made him double up on practices, so most days he was in the pool at 6:30 am. By the end of the week he was exhausted. He ended the week with a swim team buddy, Nick spending the night. Cole was out like a light when we went to bed and Nick was playing his DS. LOL Oh to be ten again!

Summer Vacation

I sure miss being a kid...... John and I get to spend our summer working and Cole gets to spend his summer at all sorts of fun camps. His first week will be spent at Laguna Creek Raquet Club day camp. They spend the day swimming, playing tennis, racket ball, volleyball and whatever else they dream up. On Thursday they have a field trip and this week they will be going to Sunsplash water park.

What a tough life. Of course, we will make him attend swim practice too. LOL

Time sure flies

I cannot believe how busy we have been. Between my working full time and Cole with school piano, baseball, swim team and alter serving the three of us have been running for three months. Last night we ended the baseball season with a swim party at our house. It was fun to see the boys enjoying each other.

It also frees up our scheule. Yeah.

Cole finished 4th grade on Wednesday. It was a very fun year for him with all the historical activities and field trips. He finished the year with a good report card and three trimesters on the honor roll.
