Bryce's 9th and final week of summer

Our county is adapting a new calendar where we get out of school right around Memorial Day instead of mid-June.  To prepare for that, we lost 2 weeks of summer vacation this year.  Emmy is going to a private school which will have a similar schedule to Bryce's but the start date has been pushed back a week because new construction wasn't finished in time. 


Tuesday is Emmy's fun day because she doesn't have gymnastics, so Nana took her and Chase and Taylor to Kings Dominion while Bryce was at a baseball camp.  A friend of ours was working a ride that is an additional cost outside of the season pass and she let the girls ride for free since she wasn't busy!


We have friends whose son is going through a cancer journey, and we bought shirts to support him.  They came in this week just in time for us to encourage him as he went in for a weeklong treatment.  


We took Bryce to his high school orientation on Thursday.  It's a big school and he's a bit overwhelmed.  Jason and I also went there for high school, and we assured him it's manageable.  It was fun for us to see our old stomping grounds. 


We took out Emmy's braids from the Bahamas and got a good laugh at her Barbie like hair.  


Bryce had a baseball tournament yesterday and today.  He's off to a great start this season and he's holding his own in the outfield.  This week at his baseball camp he received the "best infielder" award!  And now we're home and wondering how in the world summer vacation is over.  It's going to be a bit of a challenge getting used to an August start, but ready or not, here we come!
