July was full of typical fun summer stuff: baseball, softball, camps, and pool time.  Read on to catch up on what we did this July...

In between an away double-header, Cadence and the 10u softball girls enjoyed a snack in the back of a teammate's pick-up truck 😀

 

Here are some shots of Cadence at bat during a tournament near Findlay, Ohio.

Her confidence, as well as her skill, has grown tremendously over the last season.

Colin enjoyed a week at Sandlot Camp with Mason & Brantley.  They spent all day at camp and played a lot of games and went on field trips.  He loved it and had a blast with his buds.

They went to the same gym where Cadence took gymnastics as a kindergartener!  Check out that flip on the trampoline!

They went to a pool in Westerville - look who they bumped into!

I'm really going to miss these pool days with the cooler weather creeping in now...

We enjoyed huge, beautiful, purplish-blue hydrangea flowers all summer. They were nice to trim and bring into the house!

Colin and Mason attended a 3-day baseball camp at Ohio State.  They had a really good time meeting the past players that were there helping out (they also got Craig Krenzel's autograph - his son participated in the camp as well).  

Erica and I went to the WNCI softball game for charity - it was nice to just kick back, watch some softball, and catch up.

That weekend, we went to Pickerington to watch Lily in her softball tournament.  It was fun to offer our support!  Their team wasn't doing so well when we were there, so Vince put on his rally cap!

We played around to pass some time in between the games.

On Sunday, the kids helped out the Blendon Woods Little League teams during their game.  The kids in the league have certain disabilities and need a little help playing the game.  Surprisingly, there were more volunteers than players, so our kids helped "catch."

My cousin, Melissa, sent us a really fun puzzle from Amazon!

The kids stopped by Addison and Landen's house with the nanny to drop off Addison's birthday gifts.  I think she likes the Log Cabin syrup the best 😂

We celebrated the end of the 8u baseball season at the Northstar golf club pool.  They were given trophies for being the league champs!

And no post is complete without a Scarlet picture!
