Weekend Update

We didn't have a soccer game this Saturday and the weather was supposed to be hot! We woke up and got packed and headed to Lake Panorama to hang out by the water with Steve's family. The kids spent a lot of time in the water and playing.

Presley and Ava doing gymnastics on the water mat.

And playing 'King of the Mat'.......

and P managed to take down Ava and knock her off the mat! 

All of Steve's family was there and we had pizza for dinner. The moved a TV out by the lake so we could all watch the game 'beachfront'. It was awesome and the perfect night! (despite the heartbreaking Iowa loss!)

Jason, Roxanne, Jerry, Matt, Steve

Piper fell asleep fairly early (compared to the rest of us) but we all hung out and talked after the game. We slept in pretty good on Sunday morning and Presley and Ava went back to the water. Presley even getting in the kayak! I never thought she would get in this but she did and she does really well in it!

And they got to go tubing again. They have so much fun out there! It makes me a little nervous b/c I'm waiting for the day that they do flip over and into the water but so far that hasn't happened! :) Thank you to Jason and Christie for having us!

We left about 1 pm, neither kid was happy about it but we needed to get home. We hadn't really been home all weekend and Presley had volleyball. This is the first time that she has really complained about it but know that she didn't want to leave the lake and she was tired....but we pushed on and went. Most of the girls can't really get it over the net consistently but they do play 'games' so they can get used to the rules and idea of the game. There is very little 'volleying' that actually happens. But she does a pretty good job getting her serves over!

Of course when we got home she wanted to practice volleyball. So we got her ball out and practiced in the front yard a bit! We had a nice dinner, took early baths and they were both asleep by 8!
