We survived our trip cross country, and after being gone for a month, we were ready to relax and enjoy summer! It was nice to be back home in our beds and to see all our friends. Our pull in the drive-way selfie...
We had a week to unwind and then the kids two week swim lesson session started. Spent a ton of time at the pool! Not a one class got cancelled from the rain, so it was a great week to be there. Made the days go by so fast!
Mason started to swim just a day after his lessons started with no credit to the lessons i don't think. Everything just clicked and he was head under and kicking! Just a couple weeks prior he wanted me to hold him the entire time. So glad he got it! He was so proud of himself! He was ready for daddy to come home, so he could show him how he could swim now.
Langley was a fish and miss independent, swimming off on her own this year with her friends. She mastered the diving board.
Mason loved going off the diving board during his lessons. Felt like a big boy!
One morning we headed out for some berry picking before our lesson. The beauty of Omaha is that this farm is only 5 minutes from our house.
We had fun with one of our favorite families. And the berries were yummy!
With Daddy still in Norfolk this summer, we did everything we could to keep busy and check off our summer bucket list. We were so glad to have visitors from Nashville. We love the Gottswall girls! They had a blast.
The kids performed many 'shows' for us. We had lots of stuffed animals and gymnastics moves incorporated in. :) You can see that Mason's token move was the handstand over the couch. This was his position in every picture. :) While the girls took the stage.
Ta Da!!
We had some pool time. Mason had to show them "Papio Pool" and mason had to show them his new swimming skills. We have fond memories of swimming in their pool and he was a tad dramatic about the swimming. ;)
These little hams!
And a fun day at the children's museum.
They loved digging for fossils and gems. And riding the train.
And we introduced them to our favorite greasy spot to indulge.
Always so sad to see these friends say goodbye! The big girls always cry real tears, so its always an emotional night when they leave. :) Can't wait until our next visit!
We had some summer fun at the zoo with the Loesch family again!
The poor prairie dogs got lots of attention that day.
A fun crew!
We had lots of playing time with Isaac and Eli our neighbors. Having lunch on our porch one day.
Had a morning bowling with neighbor friends. Mason's first time. We aren't much of a bowling family. I think this winter there may be more of this in store.
Langley had a couple spares.
Mason loved using his ball ramp to push the ball down the aisle. They sure make it easier for kids to bowl these days!
We hosted a dinner night with our neighbors with slip and slide and a movie.
And a trip to the movies to see the new Planes movie! Quite the set up at this theater. They were all lounging!
It was a great, busy summer! And we couldn't believe it was already time for school to start!
