Summer Vacation Day Twelve: The One With The Pool
Yesterday (Wednesday) we ended the month of June with a pool day. We spent a lot of time in the pool, and it was nice. The water was as warm as we have ever had it.
We enjoy some pool games and we even tried out some of our Pina Colada and Lemon Drop popsicles. Those were interesting.
Summer Vacation Day Eleven: The One With The Mighty Orphans
We decided that we should make sure to have time for movies this summer now that we can return to the theater. We did notice that people are not returning in droves, which adds to the safety I know I feel.
We did a quick pop in to Five Below, like we often do. Then, we headed over to see The Twelve Mighty Orphans. The movie told the story of a football team in Texas comprised of orphans in 1938. The team was coached by an orphan. A great cast and a phenomenal story made for an outstanding movie...and one I will always remember.
After the movie, we noticed how barren the Liberty Tree Mall was at 8:30. It was wild!
Summer Vacation Day Ten: The One With a Return to School Meeting
The beginning of summer often comes complete with some end of the year school meetings. And, this Monday was no exception. I had to pop in to have a social studies wrap up meeting. It was fantastic.
After that, I did have to get my teeth cleaned. A new hygienist brought new techniques...and my cleanest gums ever! Wow! I mean WOW!
I did drive home without AC...always fun, but it worked.
Summer Vacation Day Nine: The One With Bri's Party
Because it has been a wild year, it has been almost impossible to have parties the way we want. However, this Sunday we tried to do a party in a fun sorta way. We had a mini get together to honor Bri's birthday (which was 6 weeks ago) and Bri's moving on.
We had everyone in our backyard for a couple of hours. It was weird because we realized it was going to be hot and we could not have everyone. It was also the first big get together without Mom Number Two....which was so strange.
We opened up the pool and made the grounds like nice...which was actually great to see. And we had lawn chess out, as well as Corn Hole.
It was a great mini-event and one that reminded us of what it would be like to have more of them soon.
Summer Vacation Day Eight: The One With The Eighth Grade End to Softball
On Saturday, we bid a final farewell to DGS with the annual wrap up "gala." Normally, this would have been done at the Yacht Club with a formal party. However, that was not possible this year. So we were all able to enjoy a Softball Party at Tiggies, which was fun.
We got a chance to send Bri on a Farewell. She got flowers as a retiring 8th grader and a photo with the entire group, which was AWESOME! And we got some nice pictures.
Thank you DGS for a wonderful career.
Summer Vacation Day Seven: The With a Visit to Nani's and Lunch at Sea Dog
We wrapped up out stay with a visit to Nani's house, which is always fun. She enjoyed sharing beauty secrets with Bri and talked about the fourth of July.
We also found the Ping Pong table! Hallelujah!
We did go to the Sea Dog Pub. Although I liked it - loved the Tater Tots - it was not a hit with everyone!
