June 2022 Recap!

 I feel such a sense of accomplishment right now!  I'm caught up to June 2022.  :)

June is the end of the school year for us so we are always excited to be done.  Rylee had a field trip to an Extreme Action Park.  Though they only got to do a couple of things (laser tag, roller skating, arcade) so it wasn't as extreme as she hoped!  Lol

Jace's school finally had a ceremony for honor roll.

Thursday was an early release day.  That Friday I stayed home and packed

while the kids went with Jon to Motorola's bonus 

take your child to work day.

Then we flew to MN on Saturday morning.  We don't let any grass grow under out feet, 

we want to get to MN ASAP!  

Here are some of our highlights from our first week: lunch with Chip & Connie, Rafferty's Pizza with Gaga and Papa, Jurassic World Dominion and dinner with Sara, ice cream at Victual, slacklining, paddle boarding and swimming on Agate, and many hands of cards with Gaga and Papa.

The Erickson's also took us out for a pontoon ride on Father's Day - a rare 97 degree day!

Week 2 we decided to change up the kids room.

As you can see, Rylee could barely fit on the top bunk anymore.

So we decided to debunk the beds.  Bye beds!

The opted to be on opposite sides as far from each other as possible.  Lol!

It looks even cuter now that we put things up on the walls,

but I don't have pics of that.

Jace also lost a tooth!

I swear he's lost the majority of his teeth in MN.  The MN tooth fairy is really generous so maybe he holds them in some how.  So the weird thing is that he lost another tooth like the next week right next to this missing one.  So two teeth fell out, but only one has grown in!  Needless to say, he has an ortho appt the first week back in FL.

Other week 2 activities: more paddle boarding and swimming on Agate (sometimes they clip the lilly pad to the paddleboard for extra fun or to pull me around on it!)...

driving range with Grandpa Chip...

our first pontoon swim with Papa...

and a trip to Duluth for Rylee and I.  Rylee would really like to go to college in MN sowe had Uncle Howard give her a tour of UMD.  Afterward, we went down to canal park for lunch at Grandma's and shopping.  Then we drove past Glensheen (Rylee was very interested in the Glensheen murder) and up the North Shore a bit.

Rylee and Jon have a running messing with sasquatch joke so she had to take this picture to send to him.

In Jace's mind, the most important part of week 2 was be that he got his first phone.  It was time for me to upgrade my phone so that meant Jace got my old one.  He was excited he wore a special "Level Up" shirt that day and created text groups for the cousins, the Cedar Crest crew, and the family.  I guess we didn't take a photo with him and his phone, but here is his case.  :)

We spent more time on the water.  Chip took the kids tubing.

Rylee and I went shopping for craft supplies so she could make a wall hanging for the kids new bedroom. 

                                           Rylee also made her first sale with this pattern.  

                                                 My cousin, Lilly, bought one from her.
