Aviation Camp

Jacob's interest in aviation hasn't waned, so for his birthday we gave him a day of Aviation Camp though Greatest Generation Aircraft out of Fort Worth. He toured some military aircraft, two flight museums, the air traffic control tower, and was supposed to take a flight in a restored WWII C-47 aircraft. He got to do all but fly that day because the cross winds were too strong. Stay tuned for the make-up date sometime this fall. 

Cub Scout Day Camp 2014

Jacob and I volunteered at the Cub Scouts of the Round Table Day Camp again this summer. Nothing like 95+ degree heat, dusty and dirty fields, and grasshoppers jumping with every step. Lucas and Ethan were campers again and loved every minute of it.

They made shields, swords, leather books and pouches, tunics, and felt hats during the week.

One of the best activities was the dad-powered jousting! As the dads jogged around a course, the boys rode on a tarp wrapped around two sturdy poles and tried to get their jousting stick through the loops hanging from the trees.

Of course, they both loved BB guns and archery. This year was much easier - if you remember - Lucas has his arm in a cast for day camp last year!

Summer Fun

We were able to catch a show by Dinosaur George at the Lewisville Public Library. I met Dinosaur George at a PTA convention years ago and we had him come to our school in SA. He's based there, so it was especially fun to see his show in our new locale AND have him recognize me! Super fun guy and great show for all ages. 

We did a little shopping. Lucas picked out a few things.

These two kids, Alex and Jake, used to live on our block in San Antonio. They moved to Rockwall, Texas, on the east side of Dallas a year before we moved here. Unfortunately those plans to get together never materialized. Got a text from Traci one morning that said they were in Flower Mound at a swim race for Alex so we headed over for a very short but wonderful visit at the new natatorium.

Last Day of School

Ethan with his teachers - Mrs. Gustafson ...

and Mrs. Kraft.

 Sarah with her teachers: Mrs. Mun and Mrs. Hall.

Missed a pic with Lucas' teachers but caught him at the party carrying cotton balls with chopsticks!

It was another great year at this school. So happy that my kids had an easy transition from San Antonio to Flower Mound.
