Being able to start gymnastics again has been a sanity saver for all of us, we've enjoyed time together, but safely being around close friends is also important! We understand the risks, but we also understand that there are different risks if we didn't have the opportunity to safely socialize with teammates and do physical activity! The girls also go to finish the week of Acting Out Camp. Even though we didn't get to see the end of camp performance in person. They made a great video of all of their monologues and acts that they worked on all week.
Father's day was wonderful being together. Daddy and the girls got their T-shirts, and he got his Country Fried Steak and Eggs, before the girls washed the truck.. and then Mommy's car as well. Cienna made him fuzzy dice to hang on the Bronco's mirror and Kaylee used her birthday money to buy daddy a retro radio for the Bronco as a gift. It was a great day together!
The following week, needing to get out, Mommy took the girls to the Arboretum to for a beautiful walk and to see a peacock stand off. None of us had ever been so close to a peacock, or peahen, or a peachick before. We then did our best to celebrate Michele's 40th birthday over a zoom call. We will give her a proper celebration as soon as we can! Since Daddy didn't get to see peacocks, we went to another Botanical Garden in Palos Verdes with all of us. They had some incredible climbing trees and beautiful flowers, but no peacocks at that one.
Mommy gave Daddy another haircut, going a little shorter this time. Then came the 4th of July weekend. We decided to invite our Southern California extended family into our bubble... ish. We went on a 3 mile hike in Palos Verdes that somehow turned into an 8 mile hike, but was just as fun and showed that just cautiously being around people was nice. We then went swimming at the Bakx and had some delicious BBQ before heading back home ready for the next day. We had planned a bike ride with the Shoenberg's to head to Yogurtland together and enjoy the treat and some fun time. We rode bikes to their house, then all of us headed through LBSU campus on our way to frozen yogurt! We found a great spot on the campus to enjoy our treat then headed back home. Afterward we went to the Ferrario's for swimming, Kan Jam, fun time, and FIREWORKS galore!
After a big weekend, we only had a couple of days of work before heading on our trip up North to see family! It was Grace's First Communion that Saturday, but we first had made plans for Camping at Resort Del Poppa. First time at Poppa's since turning 10, Kaylee got to drive up and park the truck. The Marty's, Kyle's, Poppa, and us all planned to camp on Poppa's property! We had a great time enjoying the pool, especially the company, food, and fun times. It was a Caribbean theme, and the decor and activities were well planned out thanks to Ashley. After a wonderful pancake breakfast, we had a family scavenger hunt on the property, followed by Trevor driving to get the garbage cans with all the kids pilled in the back of the truck. They made it back safely. After more games and shenanigans, Ashley brought her projector to set up Pirates of The Caribbean for us all to watch under the stars!
We had packed as much as we could that day including our tent, so we slept in the garage in anticipation of leaving the next morning to go to Grace's First Communion. It was a little less traditional being held on the lawn in front of the church, but just as meaning fun and memorable for Grace and us. We then got to spend some wonderful time with the Natal's and family celebrating Grace with plenty of food and fun! After heading home, we missed time with the Natal's and extended it with virtual game night. Megan made an awesome Kahoot, Break Out, and Scavenger Hunt Games for us all to enjoy.
Finalizing the month, the girls had their 2nd and final week of Acting Out Camp for the summer with a video of their final performance coming via email that we can't wait to see. Happy 9th Birthday to Addie as we drove by for a parade. And we'll see how school is going to be in the fall with initial videos stating that we had both in school, and home learning options, followed by only online learning for the first month. Not sure what's happening for the future, but we are only looking to do what's best for us, and EVERYONE ELSE as well!
