| End of season awards ceremony and evening at The Diamond cheering on the Flying Squirrels. Kai earned the Best Fielder award. |
 |
| A special treat: watching Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras in an exhibition match at The Greenbrier. It poured down rain on Saturday, so I stayed overnight for the Sunday match. Steffi Graf was there, too! |
 |
| Look how close they were to the crowd!! This was after their practice session, before the match. |

 |
| Our little vocalist getting ready for her performance with her band, Aqua Stars, at a week-long rock camp with two of her best friends. Side note: this summer will go down as "the summer mommy accidentally sent me to a transgender camp." The camp marketed itself as empowering girls through music and performance, but the hidden agenda was promoting gender confusion. |
 |
| Rylie conquered Manchester Wall |
 |
| I was pretty proud of myself for making it this high after a 13 year climbing hiatus |
 |
| Madelyn: using her flexibility to get up that wall |
 |

| This is the life...a day at the beach and a large ice cream waffle sandwich |

| Simply swinging on a rope? No, we must swing upside down and flip. Mommy's scared! |
