Start out bright and early at soccer. Remember to wear sweats and bring a jacket because it is going to be COLD!
Watch Cameron demonstrate the finer points of playing goalie, although he is not playing soccer.
Quincy was playing goalie. She did a good job of only letting one ball past her. Her team won. She was very excited to be 'undefeated' this season (after 2 games!!).
Follow up soccer with a nice fishing derby. We had Colin, Preston, Quincy and Harper all fishing this year, at Overbrook's 4th annual kids fishing derby. Cameron didn't want to fish, he said its too crowded and he thought he could help Harper.
We fished the entire time, with 2 of my nephews and one niece joining us, and only one fish was caught by anyone in our family! Our nephew snagged a nice catfish. Quincy was a little disappointed, but I didn't see many people reeling in the fish the way they have in the past. Colin thought perhaps the fish caught wind that it was fishing derby day, and went deep to hide!
We all did have a really nice time fishing, and the derby had a lot of prizes, which the kids liked. Most importantly, Preston won a dozen free donuts.....bonus!
After the fishing derby, have a campfire in the back yard. This seemed like a wonderfully easy dinner, considering we had been gone all day, and since it has rained, the fire danger is not as high as it was a couple of weeks ago, so we caved in and let Cam light it up!
Create childhood memories by eating a burned marshmallow off a dirty old stick! :)
Spend Sunday, after church, venturing out to see the penguin exhibit at the Topeka Zoo before it leaves. I promised Quincy we would go see them way back at the beginning of summer break. Back then, it seemed like summer would have plenty of time for a leisurely little trip to the zoo. UUUmmmm I must have been delusional, because it never happened! It is just as well, because the weather was absolutely gorgeous, and we had a nice time taking the little guys and seeing the zoo. It was Harper's first trip to a zoo! She was so excited!
Try to convince Jim he isn't nearly as tall as he thinks he is! :)
Enjoy spending time as a family before next week comes and knocks you back into reality!
