While We Were Away....

Adult trips can't happen without family willing to take on your children (and a new puppy) for days at a time! This is no small feat.... trust me, I know!

While we were away soaking up the mountain air, Remi and Roen headed west to spend 10 whole days with Anne and the crew! The boys made up some serious cousin time that the school year won't allow,  built elaborate forts, went swimming, played Wahoo (of course), played tennis, went to church and no doubt, got spoiled rotten!

They also got to spend the week participating in VBS in the mornings and went to Wall Track Camp in the evenings! On the last day of track camp, they host a track meet for all the participants. Our school doesn't do anything like this, but I personally think it is awesome and the boys loved it! Remi and Roen were in the same group and so competed against each other- I always think a good bit of brother competition is good for them! They both placed and brought home ribbons:

Remi- 2nd in Shot Put, 3rd in Long Jump

Roen- 4th in Shot Put, 4th in Long Jump

Neither of them have had much practice in competitive running and I could definitely tell! They seemed to be near last in all the races I saw. They also introduced hurdles! I wish you could see Roen running hurdles, lol! Roen is our goofball who lives in LaLa Land often, so you won't be surprised that on several occasions, he ran right through a hurdle, dragging it down as he ran! I watched these videos over and over, just giggling! I love that the boys got to experience a whole new world of competing in something they have never done! It was also pretty cool when I spotted children of old classmates in pictures!

This was the most perfect way to kick off Summer Break!!
