School's Out for Summer

The boys were done with school a week before I was. Here are pictures from their last day. 

It is evident that they both have people who love them dearly in their classrooms. We are ao blessed that they are surrounded by such wonderful people. 

Field of Dreams

Little league baseball championship game was played on a Monday night. One of the teams held several church/school boys so we went to cheer them on. The boys were thrilled. 

We all put on our baseball caps on and headed for the field. 

Joshua loved sitting with his friends. 

I took a picture of Joshua and his friends then turned around to find Silas in the dugout with a helmet on, bat in hand, feet turned to walk up to the plate. I had to run over and grab him before he was and interference, but I loved his enthusiasm! 

Despite his friends' loss, Joshua found a love of the game. 

Pizza picnic

Spontaneous Sunday night Pizza at the Park 

A spontaneous activity when we were eager for summer so we picked up some pizza and headed to the park. We haven't visited many parks in the area so this was a fun experience. 

We put our leftovers back in the car and got ready to play. Turn around and Joshua is cleaning up trash from around the park. "Mom, did you know that sea turtles could eat this trash or get stuck and then they would die?!? I want to protect them." 

Tire swing sillies 

"Happy"

Dance party in the car on the way to the beach to the happy song. 

Babies basking 

I got a chance finally get out into the water. I always feel better with salty sun-soaked skin. 

Sledding FL style 

Boys being boys. I wish I could have taken a picture from the ocean side the boys bobbing heads and giggles as the waves crashed around them. Their faces were priceless! 

Dragonflies

There are many dragonflies in the bushes outside of school. 

I walked outside and saw Joshua standing very still. I asked what he was doing and he told me he was trying to catch a dragonfly. "Just look at it Mom, it's fascinating!"

This went on for about a week or two. One day during my math class I got this picture text: 

He found out if he came at it from behind he could slide his hand under the dragonfly. He was beaming with pride. Thrilled to finally be touching a dragonfly! 

Blankie Blues

This boy loves his blankie!!! It is a struggle to keep the blankie sanitary. I have to sneak it into the washing machine. He caught me between washer and dryer. 

He watched it spin for a while. I told him his blanket was taking a ride. He stood watching until it was dry.
