grandparents who are up for anything

grandparents are up for anything, right?  so when grandparents and aunt (whose also up for anything) came for a visit we tried out a sport trying to gain traction - footgolf.

grandparents and aunt, who are up for anything, also took the kids shooting

spoiled us with our favorite foods

goofed around downtown

grandparents and aunt, who are up for anything, even graciously accepted some sunday relaxation!

...we're so glad that grandparents and aunt, up for anything, came to visit

an 'insane' weekend

Some generous grandparents treated us to a Kansas City trip over the weekend. We enjoyed BBQ, played at science city, raced around the 'city of fountains' for a fountain scavenger hunt, watched the world champs play ball, visited liberty jail, and... rode verruckt, the world's tallest waterslide.

It was a fabulous weekend treat!

just keep swimming

we started our summer with finding dory and we've been swimming ever since:

jack joined kindin on swim team.  he likes swimming daily, enjoys being on a team, loves goofing around with his 20-something coach, is earning ribbons at competitions, and is getting extremely tan depiste 100 SPF applications.  (he isn't necessarily enjoying the associated symptoms that confirm an impending adenoidectomy)

dalia's omaha start to swimming has given her a much more relaxed 'stroke' but she's hoping to be free of her floaties soon.

we've hosted lots of water wars

and O! hosted the olympic swim trials - it stands as the best athletic event i've ever attended!  Phelps' comeback was inspiring, the olympic committee plan with a knack for efficiency, and there wasn't the puffed up self-aggrandizement that you see too often elsewhere.
