In case you hadn't already guessed when this picture was taken, it was Nic's last day of First Grade. Still can't figure out if he's excited here or in pain.
More soccer photos!
We had some wonderful family visits during June as well. First up was a visit from Sergeant's "little" brother and his family (the boys only cousins on Sergean'ts side of the family.) We use the term little loosely. After all, Uncle M can put Captain on the ceiling (not sure how I feel about footprints up there.)
Aunt K and Maddy and I shared laughs.
And the monsters bonded over video games with Mikey.
We also had a lovely visit with my Grandma Helen. She is an amazing woman and I truly wish we lived closer to her. Ok I wish we lived closer to all the great-grandmas. I truly feel lucky that my boys have three of their great-grandmas in their lives. Grandma Helen came to stay with us overnight so we could take her to the airport. She had also been in town to see Padawan play soccer prior to this. But here the monster enjoyed a rousing game of Chutes and Ladders.
Most of our outdoor playtime takes place at the Mimi and the Papa's house. But with such a large play area (an awesome double lot), we can't stay away. The monsters took turns pushing each other around the yard in one of Uncle B.A.'s old toys.
I think the Captain got the short end of it though.
I'll wrap things up for the month here. We have a fantastic indoor playground here in town (though I must say that it was more fun when grown-ups were still allowed on the bounce equipement.) There are a total of four swing sets, even more bounce houses and such, and I here tell they recently added a mini golf course that we still need to check out. The point of all this is that the Captain recently reached the height requirement to go on the big slide. Once he went down once there was no stopping him.
