We ended the school year with remote learning and a very different school year end than normal. Sam's teacher, Mrs. Pogue, was retiring this year so they had a car parade for her and the 3 other teachers retiring. Sam was excited to wear the mask Grandma Rikli made him with frogs on it.
We biked to get lunch on a beautiful day and then biked to the park to take a break under the trees.
Grandma Rikli painted a basketball court on the driveway for Joey's practice time. Instead of doing summer school, the agreement was that Joey would work on basketball training for 3 hours a day. (shooting, stretching, cardio, etc.) He is doing it! In this picture he was being lazy and didn't have a chair so he found the wheelbarrow to sit in.
We are so happy to have our pool again this summer. We have been using it a lot, especially since the Sun Prairie pool is closed (and we probably wouldn't be going even if it were open). Filters are really hard to come by with the surge in home pools, but we are figuring out how to clean the two we have. Let's hope neither of them break before we can get our replacements to ship!
Joey is a 5th grade graduate! They gave the 5th graders pennants that say "once a Wildcat, Always a Wildcat" and t-shirts as their graduation gift.
Sam spent the end of 2nd grade in pajamas doing school so we thought it was appropriate to take his last day of school picture in pajamas.
John and I got a weekend where the boys went to G&G Rikli's so we went hiking at Devil's Lake. Here is the view from the top. We got in a couple bike rides too!
This was our first time seeing Maebel and Linus in months. We had so much fun catching up!
I looked out the window and Sam and Linus were having a deep conversation.
Linus enjoyed the Father's Day cupcake.
Sam got a headgear to help with aligning his jaw. It looks so different than they used to! He is good about wearing it (so far).
More pool time!
We celebrated Grandpa's birthday. Bell was happy to help celebrate.
We had Cohen over, and the boys went in the pool 4 times while he was here. It was hot for a stretch so the pool felt really good.
They had to go swimming when it was dark out. They were only in about 20 minutes, but were thrilled.
