Summer Things

 She always wants to go riding and hang out with Taylor.

Our team beat the other Rochester team for the third straight time this season so a trip to DQ was in order.  I wasn't paying attention and Charlie ordered a large blizzard.  Who can eat that much ice cream?!  Needless to say he didn't even come close to finishing it.

We stopped for some Mexican food during Claire's softball tournament break...actually I did and she ordered a hamburger.  Halfway through she said, "I didn't know they had chimichangas here!"

Mega Kids Camp (some of the crew)

Fishing

Baseball and softball have come to an end.  Charlie's team had a dad with photography skills so we have some great pictures from this season.  Up next is fall softball for Claire.

4th of July

 We went to Summerfest and then hung out in Stewartville for the parade and fireworks.

STATE

 The boys earned their bids to the state tournaments by winning the Rochester Tournament.  They went also undefeated in league games.  This team is just so fun.

Golf Camp

 The boys are back at Hadley Creek for another week of summer camp.

CHAMPS!

 Our boys won the Rochester Tournament!  Charlie pitched in the Championship Game against the other 12U Rochester team and we came out on top by a lot.  So proud!  He is one happy kid after getting the ring he wanted so badly.

Pool party after the big weekend and the boys mostly played more ball and ate food.
