Summer Vacay - Week #8

 Holy busy week batman!  I had a taste of what I am sure life will be like very soon, now that we are on the cusp of our own activities and sports.  This was the week of eating in the car, tag team parents, and me chauffeuring all over God and creation.  I loved it though :)  And on top of all the running around we were washing off tents and chairs and un-sanding things from camping.  Liz did a gymnastics camp every morning this week at the high school.  I really liked the coach and got to talk with her quite a bit this week.  She runs a fall program that Liz will do in addition to Westside.  I got to catch a sneak peak of the "show" that the kids were practicing for the last day.
 Sarah did the classes too so Liz was just in heaven. 


 Liz doesn't quite have a cartwheel down yet so she has to get help from coach.

 Part of the running around came from the afternoon - Liz was doing a lacrosse camp in the afternoon, which meant Pat had to come with me.  He was picked up every day by Brian who ran him out to football.  This meant that Pat had to have an early dinner at lacrosse and get all his gear on there.  Then, on Tuesday and Thursday Liz had cheerleading right after lacrosse, so we had to fly there from lacrosse.  It was hectic and I was toting a huge packed cooler of water bottles and Gaterade every where.  Can you tell Liz really wants to tie her own shoes??  I have slacked and haven't been able to teach her. 
 Liz is doing great with cheerleading.  She is really focused and learning the cheers great!

 It is too cute.
 Coach Dad!
 Patrick has been working really hard at football too, learning to block and tackle and getting ready for his first scrimmage


 The lacrosse coaches were really nice and let Patrick participate on the last day of camp.  I didn't mind because there is no football on Friday so I knew he wouldn't be too tired.  He had fun.

 One of the drills happen to pit brother against sister in a scoop race to score a goal.  Liz would have beat Pat if she didn't get such a jumpy ball :)
On top of all the running around both kids had a sleepover.  Pat went to Kayden's and Sarah Jane came to our house.  Liz squeezed in a pool party too.......to get all the kids (who weren't on vacation) from her class together at her friend Ella's house before school starts.  She had an absolute blast. The only drama of the week was a trip to the dentist for what we thought was a filling for Patrick.  Turned out to be molar sealing and the filling next week.
