Last Hooray

This was the last full week of summer vacay for the kids and we went out with a bang. The week started with the wrap up of Carrigan's summer dance intensive and a family performance. CC is really looking forward to the upcoming dance season and she enjoyed getting a jump start.

We also blew out summer with a trip to Oaks Park. Elsie was much more adventurous this year and she went on all but one of the rides CC wanted to go on. Merrick brought Colvin along so they mostly were off on their own.

Brendon came to town for a few days this week and we all got together for a family dinner. The girls did less time eating and more time creating dances and routines.

We also had CC's last summer market this week. Jeremy and Merrick had a church activity at the same time. That just left Elsie so she got to tag along with Jeremy for an epic night of slip and slide. She was a little scared to begin with, but ended up sliding more times than anyone else.

After a whirlwind week, I capped it all off with a quick 48 hour trip to Arizona. Carolyn had a stitching convention she was running and Mike, who usually lives with Grammy was also out of town. That meant that Grammy was going to be alone all weekend. I hopped on a plane and spent 48 hours at Grammy's side. As a huge added bonus, I got to hug all my cute nieces and nephew and hold my newest niece, Sally, for the first time.

I just walked in the door and I'm exhausted so that's all for now.
