June is always a fun month. With testing behind them, the girls had some downtime at school, and elementary always has fun end of year activities and class parties. We celebrated Grandma's 75th birthday, and she enjoyed dinner at The Shore (aka the kids' restaurant they put on at home). :) All the kids had their last day of school on the 10th and Lily had 8th grade graduation (can't believe she's off to high school)! We kicked off Summer with a trip to Southport with Grandma & Grandpa. Then the boys had a week of camps (Vacation Bible School for Crew and Camp Invention for Briggs), we celebrated Father's Day, and then back to the beach for Hogan's family's trip. Summer is definitely in full swing!

|

|
 |
| Kindergarten Lily. The parents planning the 8th grade graduation party thought it would be fun to have pictures of the eighth graders as Kindergarteners in caps and gowns up at the party. So... |
 |
| Here's our AI generated Kindergarten graduation pic. So cute! Lol. |
 |
| End of year party with Crew! |
 |
I love this cute idea. Parents had submitted baby pictures and Ms. Abell would show the baby picture and the class would guess who it was before she showed the current pic.
|
 |
| Sweet assistant Ms. Bacon. |

|
The girls were asked if they would come back the day after school got out to walk future students to their auditions. Proud they were asked to represent!
|
 |
| Crew packed himself for the beach... a bathing suit, a couple jerseys, his monster truck, and Cheetz. The essentials. ;) |
 |
| SPT. |
 |
| The boys always play lots of board games with Grandpa on our beach trips. Grandpa brought Rich Uncle and Life for the first time this year, so they had fun with those (not to mention lots of Ticket to Ride). |
 |
| Charley and Lil, filming a little sister movie in the rain. |
 |
| OKI. |
 |
| Lily has been reading so much this Summer -- love seeing her get into reading again. |
 |

 |
| Going through B's old schoolwork from the year. Sweet. |

 |
| BHI. |
 |
| B and I dug a huge hole and he wanted to be buried all the way up to his head! |
 |
| "Crew, where's B?!" |
 |
| Ben's birthday party at Mission Laser. At first B didn't want to do laser tag, but his friend's Dad said he could put the vest on and get the other kids from the observation area, and after five minutes he was all in. :) |
 |
| Old toy memory pics! |
 |
| Awesome chalk obstacle course. |
 |
| Happy Father's Day! |
 |
| Lily's magnatile house. It made me so happy to see her sit down and just build like a kid. #Summer |
 |
| Family reading time. We've worked it out a couple of times now. All together on the playroom couch, independently reading, but together. Love it. |
 |
| Off to Camp Invention. |
 |
| And off to VBS. |
 |
