Swimming Lessons and Detasseling

Before Detasseling 5:30AM

Getting home at the end of the day

Brittney had swimming lessons the week of July 20th. She did a really good job and is really starting to be able to swim really well. Brandon started rogueing right after we got home from vacation the week of July 4th and then he and Dylan started detasseling about a week later. They both did not enjoy getting up early (5:30AM) each day, but they like to be able to earn some money. Dylan stopped work on July 24th because he went to camp and Brandon's last day was July 31st. I was really proud of them how they would make their own lunches and wash their own clothes everyday!! They were both glad to be done, it is really hard work and I am not sure I could even do it.

Camping in the backyard

Dad decided that he and the girls were going to camp in the backyard one night. They put the tent up and had a campfire and had smores. The girls loved it and can't wait until the next time they can camp out!!!

On June 27 we headed out with Larry and Tracy and family on our annual family vacation. We went to Dallas Texas the first night. We got up the next morning (Sunday) and had a family church service before heading to San Antonio Texas. We arrived in San Antonio and figured out pretty quickly that it was going to be hot down there. It was between 100 degrees and 105 degrees the entire time we were there. We spent 2 days at Sea World and 1 day at the Alamo and the Riverwalk. We then headed back to Dallas Texas and stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge. The kids all enjoyed the waterslides a lot!! We arrived home late on July 3rd in time to go to Central City to enjoy their parade and fireworks.
