Scouts

The girls were busy with their Girl Scout troops this weekend.  Sophie went camping; brrrrrrr! it was cold! Down in the 30's overnight!

Madeline took a tour of the White House with her troop. It was a beautiful day to be in DC.

Cox Farm 2015

We made our annual trip to Cox farm last weekend. Mom and Jim came too! We enjoyed the hayride, corn maze, slides, and goat petting.

Something New!

I have decided to update my blog! For awhile, there is going to be a bit of new and a bit older stuff until I get caught up! The last few months will have to appear out of chronological order, but I am committed to getting "caught up!"

On November 2, Sophie joined her Girl Scout troop in DC. They toured several buildings and monuments. I had to stay behind for a teacher work day, but it looks like the girls had fun!

Mom and Jim's Wedding

On August 8th, we attended the beautiful wedding of Mom and Jim! It was a fantastic beach themed wedding attended by friends and family.

Summer Sweets

What is summer without a few summer time sweets?

July!

July was all about swim and dive. We attended 18 meets in five weeks with practice almost every weekday! The girls had so much fun, especially with dive team. Sophie placed first in the Starburst meet and 6th out of 21 girls at Crackerjack!

Madeline was very adventurous. She signed up for a 3 meter (high dive) event and a synchronized dive meet. She also won the high point trophy for her age group at the end of the season banquet!

The girls did not enjoy swimming as much as usual. Sophie stopped swim team about halfway through July, but Maddie continued to the end. She was very excited  to be able to swim two events at divisionals, back stroke and 100 meter individual medley (her favorite event!).

Capon Springs!

We spent two nights and three days at Capon Springs again this year! The kids were so excited; it is the highlight of their summer! They love the outdoor games, bunking with their cousins, and the meals. We had a great time hanging out with family, and relaxing. The boys played golf, and the girls visited the spa. We are hoping to extend our stay next year.
