Summer Fun - Part I

School is over, let the summer fun begin!! This year, mama signed you guys up for a good blend of camps as well as free time.  We have camp christmas tree, sailing, cardboard, VR coding planned.  Then, hopefully lots of play dates, vacation, family and summer fun.

A lover of all animals.  Neighborhood cats just show up for Bradley

Fishing everywhere 

Taking pleco home

Target run

4th of July fireworks!!

Love the arcade games

Getting ready for some fishing.  You caught an epic goliath grouper and mother of all Tuna's!

So, I attempted to get some sense of a schedule and reading in place by putting together a daily schedule. To entice you, I also offered five dollars a day if you completed the tasks.  

Ben - Ooo I get five bucks
Bradley - So I can choose not to follow this and just don't the get money?  Works for me.

Also, your feet are officially the same size as mine.  We were figuring out why shoes are still tight on you and you said, "I think my feet are bigger sideways"  LOL Do you mean wider?? "I do grammar good" was your response.  

We also discovered that you weren't feeling really good and after a few days, you shared that you stopped taking your medication.  You were hoping to show us that you were better and didn't need meds.  So sad Beni!! You are always great in my eyes Beni Berger.  Medication doesn't damper who you are, it quiets down distractions and allows you to be your best self, showcasing all the great things you have to offer to the world.  Don't ever let your light dim.  I will love you always and forever.  Even with that new blackhead that just popped up.

Beni - you are so wonderful with your sense of humor, love of stuffies and smart witty comebacks.  I love you to the moon and back.  Don't change who you are - your beauty and artistic talent will continue to shine.  Love you Beni B's!! 



Memorial Day Camping

It's that time of year again!! Time to load up the vinny van full of "camping essentials" to hang out with our camp friends :)  

This year was no different than any other year.  The van was packed to the ceiling.  If you look hard enough, you'll see Ben in there.

And, with any road trip, we need to stick to tradition - KFC

Quality baba time

When you go camping, you get screen time? 

cuddles with Beni B

Active camping activities

Ben wins Jr Bean Bags again!

Weather was amazing 

All the kiddos are getting so old!  Bradley caught some fish as well :)

We always look forward to a great camping trip and this year did not disappoint.  We had amazing weather, our great campsite at Lake Carlos and amazing friends.  Auntie Jess provided circus peanuts (I cannot believe she remembers every year!!)
