More summer fun

We had a busy summer.  I'm not complaining, we did some really fun things!  Lots of camping, sports, boating, concerts and friend time. 

Carson went to a Rainiers game for his friend Landon's birthday.  Lance and I got to go too since they had extra tickets!  They had a great time.  Carson even got an autograph from one of the pitchers.

Rylee went to a Seattle Storm game with her friend Eva.  They had a lot of fun.

Lance and I ended up with Covid on the 4th of July, so the kids went over to a neighbor's house to celebrate and watch fireworks.

Lance and I went to our annual Kenny Chesney concert at Lumen field.  It was delayed a couple of years due to covid, so it was great to have him back.  I was excited to have Old Dominion as one of the openers.  They are my favorite!!  

We usually go with the Vehs, but they are traveling the country so were unable to make it.  We brought our friends Loan and Tony.  It was a great time!  We also met up with my sister-in-law Julie and her friend Kindra for some tailgating beforehand.

We had to go to the zoo this summer.  It's a tradition!  We saw the elephants giving themselves a shower, that was fun to watch!

We went to a few Rainiers games.  They are always a good time and a fun atmosphere.  We also made it to a couple of Mariner games.

We spent some time with friends.

Carson did a 3 day robotics camp at Bonney Lake High School.  He made a mini version of this robot.  

The kids camped in the backyard a couple of times.

We did some boating/ floating/ tubing/ bridge jumping with friends.  The kids loved bringing Reese and Quin along because they are just as adventurous and crazy as they are.

I took Rylee to her first concert- the Weekend at Lumen Field.  I brought my friend Angie and Rylee brought her friend Alexis.  It was a great show!

Carson tried out for a select/ travel baseball team and made it!!  He is now part of the Diamond Sports family.  He made the 11U Bulldogs team.  He has already started practicing with the team.  Tournaments start in January.  He is very excited.  He and Rylee are also taking weekly batting lessons.

Lance and I went on a date night to see Thomas Rhett at the White River amphitheater.  He put on a great show!

We also went to see Russell Dickerson and Niko Moon at the fair with Jon and Mandy.

We went to a Mariners game with the Millers. 

Sadly, the Millers moved back to Illinois this summer.  We will miss them so much!  We met them a couple of years ago through softball and became fast friends.  The kids were the same age and both into baseball/ softball.  Rylee and Reese became inseparable.  They even looked alike.  Carson and Quin loved building legos together.  Needless to say, their move was a heartbreaking way to end the summer!  😢 We hope to travel with them soon!
