This last week, I decided we needed to do a last hurrah before everyone goes back to school. This summer just flew by. We did a lot of fun things; however, it was all over in the blink of an eye.
We started our week at Top Golf with the entire family. Everyone really loved it and we all did pretty good. Of course, Stephen was the real winner. He is literally good at everything he tries. He is naturally talented at all sports. And yes, I am extremely jealous.
Wednesday, I had arranged for my parents to take the boys to Cliff's Amusement Park here in town. Nolen missed it so much from last year. He begged all summer to go. I looked at the calendar and saw that the only day they could go was Wednesday. Yikes! So I bought my parents and my boys tickets for the day. Their best friends, Titus and Dylan joined them for the day. Dylan was too scared to ride the rides so Nolen and Dylan spent the day at the water park while Edward, Titus, and Elsa rode all the rides. They barely spent any time at the water park. My parents were completely beat by the time they got home. I am so glad they could take them. So much fun!
On Thursday, we met up with some of our friends and went to play in the river. We had so much fun. The water was smelly and really high so that made for a fun day in the sun. Both boys were so tired from our fun all week, that by 2:00 they were ready to go home. We went home and loaded up Edward's bike for Mountain Bike Club. He had a BLAST! But as soon as he got to the parking lot, he crashed and broke his pinkie! AH! I have him all signed up and he will see if he can ride for the rest of the season. He wants to do all the races and he loves biking. OH I really hope this works out for the best.
My dear old Dad is always looking for ways to help the community. The road near our house is filled with weeds. He decided to take the boys down to chop the weeds near the road. It was tough work but we got it done. He even drove all the weeds to the dump. Talk about an amazing human! I sure hope my boys see how hard my dad works to make this world a better place.
Sharla drove through and dropped her dogs off with us. OH how Nolen just LOVES dogs!! He wants to be by them all the time. And the dogs are FINALLY allowing him to play with them. He has done all the work from taking them out in the morning, to feeding them, to picking up their dog poop. We did witness the dogs cornering a baby rabbit, capturing it, then eating it. Gross, but such is the circle of life. Poor baby rabbit.
