Camp Strake

Tanner went on his first summer scout camp! A week long adventure and luckily close to home this time, it was only an hour north of Houston. (Carson’s first year was 9 hours away! It was by El Paso). He was a trooper sticking it out in the Texas humidity and heat. Tanner was able to get 3 merit badges. Canoeing, archery, and rifle shooting. Tanner’s favorite part was just hanging out with friends.

 Ready to leave!

They made it!

If you know you know. 

Tanners troop played red light green under the eyes of this boy scout 😆. For those who don’t understand my reference it’s the Squid Game tv show where people played red light green light to the death.

What a great experience! So glad he got to go.

 

Beach Day!

I try to at least do one beach day with the kids over the summer. Squeezed it in between all the Carson’s Europe trip and Tanners scout camp and before we left for Utah. Logan was still a little hesitant to get in the water after last’s summer shark encounter 🦈so he mostly stuck to the beach.  (last year the man next to us was fishing and  caught a small blacktip shark, pretty cool but none of us went back into the water after that).

Beautiful day for the beach!

Tradition to get a cold treat on the beach! Gotta eat them fast though, the melt quick in the Texas heat!

Carson missed a lot of spots with his sun screen and got some splotchy sunburns. His feet got the worst and looked like he had lobster feet!

Fun summer days! Love these boys!

Summertime!

We know its always officially summer when we get to celebrate this guys birthday!

And also the swimming pools are open.

Through Brads work we have a season pass to the Houston Natural Science Museum and so we took advantage.  Logan really wanted to see the mummies.  So we went there first thing, however when we got there and actually saw them he freaked out and hid in a corner.  It also didn't help that Carson was explaining in specific details about how they take the brains and organs out of the mummies...

Next up on our summer bucket list...

An Astros game!  Have so much fun going to these!

Astros lost this game, but still love our team and are hoping for another World Series Win!

We went on Father's Day weekend and got to experience the fireworks show! With a dad's playlist.  Is it sad that the dad's playlist were all songs we love and still listen too?
