On the way home from our Tennessee trip, we made a stop in St. Louis to take the kids up in the St. Louis Arch. It was a good stop, a much needed stop, and we all really enjoyed it! It’s pretty cool, yet a little scary, to be up so high!
Tyler and Brady both got the exact same time on the mile run!
Brady ran first, so Tyler knew the time he had to get. Mrs. Woollums pushed him to make it to the finish line and he ended up with the exact same time. 9 minutes and 9 seconds! That’s a great mile run for the both of them. Brady as a kindergartner and Tyler as a 2nd grader.
I was proud and both of them were very happy! Brady ended up having the fastest run time in kindergarten!
As always, we had a fun get-a-way to the lake in Tennessee. We did the usual, which is boat time, boat time, and more boat time, with a little bit of pool time in there. Riding on the jet ski and on the tube are favorite activities. This year they both tried wake boarding, but did not really succeed. They also cliff jumped for the first time! I was a nervous wreck, but they had a great time. However, not sure we’ll be doing that again for awhile. Finished up the trip with an evening cruise to the restaurant on the lake and a night cruise back to the house.

I will always remember these days.
I am so lucky to have my summer’s off with my kids. These days are my favorite days!

We had a great time visiting family in Cedar Falls and were even able to find some time to take Delaney to the pool while we were there!
The boys wrapped up their summer swim season with the Conference Meet in Grinnell on July 23. They both swam a few events and both of them did outstanding!
We really enjoyed watching them swim for our swim team this summer. We are so proud of how far they came and that they are walking away from the season much better swimmers!
We are looking forward to next summer’s swim season already!
