Sweet Summertime

Summer is in full swing here!  Everyone has finished ball for at least a little while.  (Travel ball starts soon for Lillian.) After Lillian's All-Star tournament ended, we loaded her and Reed up and headed back west.  They have been here for a week but will head home tomorrow. I will stay a few days to help with Bible School. It was very different without Maddie being here, but she had to stay home for summer workouts.  

I just love watching her play.  There are times when she looks exactly like her mom did playing. Lots of memories have been made at many different softball fields.

This sweet girl just keeps running and running.  She won first place in the Women's Division at Clanton's Peach Run.  So proud of her!

Reed and Lillian were able to spend the night with Uncle C and Aunt Tay and attend William's All-Star game.  They had a great time! If you look closely, Jack got a big old knot at the game.  He's a tough one!

We also enjoyed having the boys here one day this week. There is no fun like cousin fun! One's in pajamas, one has on a swimsuit and the other has on a soccer uniform!

We have never had a two-year-old as adventurous as Jack is swimming!  He literally has no fear and thinks he's as big as the big kids! I LOVE to watch him jump in!  John Sawyer is swimming like a fish! Lillian and Reed (Maddie, too) are wonderful with them.

We had a ball at the Fayette Water Park one day.  This is a perfect day trip.  I plan to take all of them back one day before the end of the summer.

Our last adventure was a quick river trip.  There is nothing more fun than tubing, knee boarding, jumping off the boat and playing on the sandbar.  We are so thankful to be able to experience this with the grandbabies.  River trips have been a part of our lives for a long, long time!

They could do this for hours!

Staying hydrated!  Wow, it's been hot!

More to come!
