Summer's starting

School's out.  Has been for over a week.  Our house is full of playing outside and staying up late.  Cale had a week of band camp where he got to get jump start on learning to play his french horn.


Marcus had some basketball open gym times and 4 days of a basketball camp.  Needless to say, there was a lot of driving back and forth to the schools.  

Now, we are in the throes of getting ready for our vacation.  Gulf Shores baby.

                                          

This will be our most ambitious trip yet since it is the farthest trip we've planned and we are doing some tent camping.


For fun, 
here is Cale, showing off his awards from the end of school:  A honor roll-4th quarter, A/B honor roll for the year, Husky ROCKS winner and perfect attendance (I'm always surprised when I find out that one of my kids has gone to school every school day.)

Ewan got a reading award for reading 100 books and he also won the Husky ROCKS award for his class.  He was so excited to be chosen.  Ewan was another one who really had a great teacher this year and enjoyed being in her class.

 Started off the summer vacation with building some rockets that Cale got for Christmas. A boy's dream.


I posted a video of the launch that ended up being partly sideways.  The rocket took off great and totally drifted onto somebody's roof.  Efforts were made to retrieve the rocket, but it was just out of reach.  We kept an eye on it to see if it would eventually drift to the ground, but as of right now, the rocket is MIA and we theorize it has actually settled in that house's gutter.  No worries.  We have more rockets.  And more days of summer.
