Everyone is back home now!

Our time at the Happy Place is over! We all had a good time and lots of fun! Mom and Savannah and I flew down on Thursday morning and enjoyed a "girls only "part of the trip until Saturday afternoon. The very dirty boys unloaded and took a shower before coming to the park. They had a great time at camp and had lots of stories for us! The Ching family joined us for the remainder of days at Disneyland and then took Kyle with them on an adventure to Chinatown and Magic Montain. Kyle had lots of fun but I think after 2 weeks of being gone he was happy to be home!
Kyle completed 4 merit badges and Clark completed some dad only training in COPE.....not sure what it stands for some sort of team building exercise-but he was excited to zip line and do other stuff. He said he only pulled his butt muscle! HA!HA!

Kyle and Clark also got an award for the one mile swim in the lake! My boys are fish so this is no surprise to me. None of the other boys tried it so GO KYLE!!! Next year they will head off to Catalina for a week of fun in the sun again. I'm sure Savannah and Grandma and I will have to make a San Diego adventure happen!

Coconut update....yes, he is still here.....(Dead fish is not but that is another story!) he had some more shots this week and the little pig has gained over a pound in 3 weeks! No more leaving him with Papa to fatten up while we are gone. He is now about 4 1/2 pounds. He runs around and loves to eat Savannah's princess shoes! He loves to go for rides on the kickboards in the pool and loves it when everyone is home to play with him.

We are back to "normal" summer life for now. School will be starting in just a few weeks and Kyle is getting ready to go back. We bought a new lunchbag at Target yesterday so it is coming! I have enjoyed my homework free summer but am dreading the start of the new year. 6 teachers to learn about and endless hours of trying to keep him on track! UGH! I am looking forward to seeing what new friends he will make and what classes he will enjoy. Also dances, school trips, p.e. classes and so many more new things in store for him.

Okay....I REALLY need to go clean house! Kyle has a Taiko performance this afternoon and Monday morning will be here before I know it!!!
