End of the School Year 2021 and Summer Happenings

This post is kind of a hodge podge of sorts.  There are pictures included from Colin at school, to summer activities through the middle of July.  

Colin's 2nd grade teacher, Ms. Gantz, didn't post too many pictures this school year.  I'm guessing it's maybe because the kids were always wearing masks?  Whatever the reason, I decided to save this one to my phone because there weren't many posted last school year.

Colin must've been asked to do this for Mother's Day.  It's sweet 😊

We now have this self portrait of Colin in our possession, but here's the post from his school's virtual art show.  He did such a good job!  He's so talented.

Here are some pictures that were sent to us from the Big Walnut Basketball Camp in early June.  Colin had a front row seat with his travel baseball buddies - Aidan, Mason, Lucas, and Lennon.  I love how they're good buds!

Mason came over to swim - he's always a good time!

The kids just laugh at him constantly.

Some of the baseball siblings showing their support - the morning game was chilly and wet!

Yes, hell has frozen over and pigs can now fly...Danny joined Facebook.  He says it's because of his involvement with sports and being able to reach everyone and be included.  Ha, I think it's a coverup. 😉

Scarlet just chilling and looking so cute!

Awww 😍

The Marinellis came over to swim on the 4th of July.  I'm so glad the kids have been buds since day 1.

Aidan from Colin's baseball team invited us all to the Clipper's game for his belated birthday party.  We had a great time.  It had been a while since we had all been at a game together.  

Colin and I got Dippin' Dots

Colin tested out his pitching speed

I signed the kids up for a cake decorating class one Saturday.  It was held at the Art Barn and their classes usually fill up quickly, so I didn't ask the kids if they wanted to before signing them up.  They were both hesitant about going, and I'm not sure they had the best time, but I think they enjoyed it a little.  I was confused because they normally love decorating cakes at home!

They made fish cakes!  I think they turned out really well.

While the kids were in their class, Danny and I grabbed coffee and walked around Westerville's farmer's market.  We decided we'd head back to Westerville for dinner and enjoy Jimmy V's pretty patio.  We had fun!

Ahhh, sweet summer, how I love you.
