Summer Days

We sure do love summer days!  Our summer outings have been pretty limited due to Covid so we especially love summer days that feel normal!  We've had some super fun "normal" summer outings recently that felt so good! 

We were so excited to make a trip to Scissortail Park in OKC to test out their new pedal boats and canoes!  We chose the WINDIEST day so we had to work extra hard!

 The fire alarm was accidentally set off at lunch so the kids were pretty excited to get a tour of the firetruck!  They climbed inside the truck, tried on gear and got to talk to the firefighters.

 After a long morning in the sun the kids couldn't resist the splash pad!

Jackson and I escaped for a super fun outing to the OKC Riversports!  J had been patiently waiting since his 8th birthday to use his season pass to test out the white water rafting!  So much fun!!!  We had lots of laughs, a little bit of nerves, were super adventurous, got soaked and had the best day together!  It's not very often I get to escape with one kid but when I do it is so special!

We started with the ropes course!  You can barely see us but we made it to the top, on a super super windy day!!!

 Trying out something new is even better when your best friend gets to join!

 We did it and not one of us fell out of the raft!  I caught Jackson twice by the life jacket as he almost went overboard but I got him just in time!

 Now tubing was a different story!  Jackson and I both flipped out of our tubes and were pretty banged up!  Not sure I will be tubing again!

We've also made a few trips to Frontier City, masks and all!  Frontier City requires masks at all times, pretty brutal in the summer heat but we did it (and more than once)!

I keep telling Jackson I can tell he isn't smiling under his mask, no squinty eyes means to smiling :)

Love my summer days with the kids!!!!

OC Baseball Camp

We were so happy when Oklahoma Christian announced baseball camp was a GO for this summer!  My boys love baseball camp and we were all craving a week of structure!  This was the best camp yet! The coaches and players were so excited to be there since baseball had been on hold all spring!  Such a fun week of baseball and friends! 

Temperature checks were required before entering camp each morning due to the on-going Covid pandemic.  Not gonna lie I was a little nervous each morning for the temp check but we passed everyday!

 Jackson and Mason were ballers all week and racked up quite a few awards!

  Mason could barely hold all his awards!

The Raptors represented well! Proud of these boys!

FNL Football Champs

The Patriots are Freshman division Friday Night Lights champions!  They worked so hard and played so hard!  Due to Covid, the season was condensed into two weekend tournaments.  The Patriots took 1st place!  These boys are so fun and impressive to watch!  They blew us all away, along with their competition!  

A celebration isn't complete without tackling and a dog pile! 

Winners!!!!

 Love our sports families and all the time we have together!  Sure missed them during the quarantine! 

 Jackson loved having his cousins cheer him on at the championship game!

 Pool party celebration for the kids AND the parents!  We all earned a little fun!
