The Blog Post That NEVER Ends!

Well now days the computer works only when it wants to...sigh, so this may be the longest post I have ever had!  We were very busy in June and I wanted to include it all! 
 
The girls ended the school year.  I can honestly say, this may have been the best year so far for both the girls.  They had AMAZING teachers, and Cams ended with lots of self confidence! 
Hard to believe we now have a 3rd grader and a 5th grader:(
 Cambree started baseball in May and ended in June!  She had a great season and was chosen for the all-star team...so proud of her!
 We celebrated Birthdays, (I turned 40) Fathers Day and the start of summer with s'mores at Grandmas!
 40 was hard, but how can I not enjoy it with the cheer of friends and family!
 
 
 
 
 My daddy!
 Our daddy...the best one ever!
 
 Cambree's team celebrated the end of the season at the Express game!
 They were called out on the field...
 and stayed for the national anthem!
 Love this girl!
 Her all-star team!
 The two other girls from her team that made it...one being a great friend...Bella!
 
Friends came to watch Cams in her game and since it was Cal's Birthday, we celebrated afterwards!
 
 The last game of the season!
 In the last post, I mentioned the beauty of a pop up camper we bought;) 
So... it needed a little TLC!
 
Before:
 
 
After:
I covered the cushions, painted some cabinet doors and added curtains!
Felt more like ours in the end!
We call her, "Dezz"!
 We went camping and thank goodness we hadher, because it rained a lot at night...
and we stayed dry:)
 
 
 We went to Jellystone again in the Dells. 
The girls enjoyed swimming...
 
 The glow stick hayride!
 and hanging out with Yogi!
 During the rain we went to Tommy Bartlett's exploratory!
 Cambree had a floating head!
 
 They played beach ball with robots...
 and lifted a car with a lever!
 It was fun and the sun was shinning when we were finished!
 
 
 We also went on the DUCKS...
 
 and mini golfed!
 Cambree and Cal again managed to get a hole in one again...LUCK!
 
 We also went to watch the skiers at the Tommy Bartlett's Ski Show!
 
Fun trip!
 
 
This summer, Cal finally got the boat working well. 
It has been so nice to go for boat rides every night!
 The weather has even warmed up and we finally got to swim and put out slide in.
 
 
 
 
 The girls also had swimming lessons in June. 
 They were both in Level 4 together!
 
 4th of July day we had the annual neighborhood bike parade.
  This year the girls rode their electric scooters, "Betty" and "Starr"!
 Cambree celebrated her Birthday with family on the 4th as well.
The theme: Monster's Inc!
 
 I so am not ready for her to turn 8:(
 
 Mike Wazzowski teeth!
After the party, friends came over to celebrate the 4th!
There was LOTS of kids everywhere, and they all thought it was fun to scream on the tube!
Finally some relaxing time with good friends!
The kids tried to catch candy from the boat parade!
 
In the evening we took the boat out to Dells Pond to watch the fireworks from Carson Park!
 
 
 The next day, we headed out on the boat again and went to "Goose" island. 
It was the first time this year, and although it stinks, we still had fun!
 
 
 
 
 
 Friday night we finally did our own sparklers and fireworks!
 
 What a show;)
 
 
 
 On Saturday Cal went to a concert, so the girls and I met up with the Berg's at Ray's Beach!
 The water was warm and remarkably clean!
 Refreshing!
 
 
 Later in the day my friend Heather and Marquette stopped over with new baby "Dash"!
(Yes Izzy had to be in the picture because she was very jealous of the baby!)
 
 Saturday night the girls, Izzy and I went to watch Monster's University for the second time...this time at the drive in!  It was a beautiful night for an outdoor movie!
 
 
 
 Well that is the end of what seems like the longest blog post ever.  I hope to post sooner than later...after all we have a lot more fun to come!
Stay Tuned!
