Max is Officially a Teenager

We celebrated his birthday a little early because my kidney surgery was scheduled later that week.  He requested chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast.  Then we opened gifts because there were a few we wanted him to be able to use when his friends came over.  

Then Austin, Ty and Jimmy came over to swim, boat and hang out.  It was really fun to have the boys get together.

Dylan and Hayden came over for cake and ice cream.  Max was very happy and we love him so much.  Can't believe he's 13 though!

Father's Day Weekend 2020

For Father's Day, Tony wanted to rent a travel trailer and go camping.  Our favorite beach camping spot doesn't take reservations so we planned on going there.  When we looked it up online, we found it was closed so we found a spot we could reserve last minute and headed to a KOA in Ellensburg.  The kids had a lot of fun playing and biking.

Evelyn and this little girl became fast friends.  They found rocks and they named them.  We came to the playground to find Ev's little friend distraught because her brother threw their rock friend in the river.  Luckily they found another rock baby.

Here's Jason throwing different rocks in the river.  He would never throw one of Ev's rock babies in the river, lol.

We also visited Iron Horse State Park on the way home.

Then we dropped off the trailer and went to Victor Falls which is in Bonney Lake.

End of School!

We counted the kids' last zoom meetings as their last day of class.  They were so cute saying good bye to their classmates.  I was able to do a last art docent lesson via zoom.  The kids were cute when they raised their hands to show they had a question.
