Our Baby Boyer: July 2017

I have really had a blast in EEE summer school. My classes were art history, Roaming through Rome, and Design your own camp. I created a sports camp and had so much fun doing it! Once a week, we got to go swimming. We took a field trip to Arrow Rock (a lyceum theater in town) one day. I was sad when summer school ended, but excited because that meant my summer could really start! My first day off, I had a nice Daddy date while Mommy was at a conference. We went out for donuts, got knee pads for volleyball camp, ran errands, walked and bathed Molly, met Mommy for lunch, and had a family movie night!
Mommy took Emily and me to the Frankenberg Fest and we got to see a lot of her family which was fun. And of course, more swimming! Then, we went to Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom's for Father's Day. That was a really nice time too. We have also visited the pool quite a few times because we have pool passes this summer. I really enjoy going down the giant slide and throwing a ball around in the pool. We have also played in the sprinklers and taken trips to the spray park as well as the regular park. We went over to Aunt Lisa's for July 4th, and just hung out at our house to watch the fireworks.
I beg for play dates all the time! I was able to have a play date with Madelyn here one day, and Ella another day. The play date turned into a sleepover, which turned into me going over to her house. I sure do love hanging out with my friends. My family is great and all, but I get kind of tired of them! We have started playing games together, including Candyland and Uno, but I have a really hard time losing. Emily and I do play nicely most of the time (and had a sleepover in her room one night) but I like having my private time. I mostly just read. I have read at least 40 books already this summer. We can't get to the library often enough! I'm currently reading fictional books about Pandora and Medusa, and solve the mystery books.
Our family did take our "family vacation" which was a day at the Magic House. That was a really fun place! We went out for McDonald's and Andy's afterward, and ate it at Auntie Heather and Uncle Sean's house. That wasn't nearly as fun as it sounds, because Ashley and Ian were at camp that day. Emily and I also got to go to the Mud Room and paint ceramic animals. Of course, I chose a dog and painted it to look like Molly. Stacey, Jaxson, and Harrison came down one afternoon/evening and we had a blast at the swimming pool! There was a girl there who was really mean to Jaxson and me and took our ball away and I was assertive and got the ball back. Mommy was really proud of how I handled it myself! Mommy took me to a late movie in the park (Moana) and we just happened to find Blake, Brynn, and Bella there!
Volleyball camp is next week and I am so excited! I had a dentist appointment this month, and next month, I get my braces!
