Summer Wrap Up- July

Mon June 30 (I know that's not July but close enough.)
We returned from Missouri on Sunday June 29th and Will got his cast on early the next morning.
First a quick xray which showed that it was already healing nicely.

Then the waterproof wrap

Followed by the hard casting material

He was getting a little tired of holding his arm upright

Aww relief!

July 4 was a little anti-climactic after the wedding and long trip.  Glenn was on call for the weekend and was not able to come home.  We did have a family BBQ with the following guest list:  Dylan and Lauren, their friends Jack and Susan, Lauren's Aunt Jessica, Uncle Jake and Jake's mom, my sister and Family (Debbie, Lynn, Mary, McKay, Duncan), Grandma and Grandpa Williams..... I think that was it.  Dylan assumed the responsibility of manning the grill and with some guidance from Jake he did a great job.  Almost everyone left after dinner and since I didn't buy any fireworks this year we watched the Hall's show.  I thought I better get at least one picture so asked the girls to take one of Will.  I forgot that he doesn't really like sparklers so he's a little nervous.

Since the girls had my phone they amused themselves taking selfies and a few pics of fireworks too.

July 9th was the last Day Camp for both Will and I since he's a Webelo now and I've been released.  Here is the gang lining up for an epic pool noodle sword battle.

 Will realized his cast came in handy for hammering in the mast pole for his ship.  He then helped all the boys around him with theirs.

More pool noodles, this time for jousting.

July 14 The minions making apricot jam.  I love having minions!

July 20 What a cute Birthday Boy!  We had to celebrate a little early since he is in Idaho on the weekdays.

July 22-24 A few pics of Abby.  Here she is on Thunder at horse riding lessons.

She took a liking to reading while her phone was being repaired.

 Discovering "Tater Browns" or "Hash Tots". (The debate is still raging.)  The formula is waffle iron + tater tots = deliciousness.

July 28 William saying goodbye to the cast.

 Spreading those fingers out was the best feeling ever!

July 31 A quick trip to Idaho for an orthodontist appointment and to get glasses for Abby.  Here's Will with Revo at Mt. West Optical.

 Followed by a quick trip home so Emily could attend the Art Show and get her award.  She received an Honorable Mention for her teddy bear drawing.
