Summer Recap...Picture Overload!

Our summer was filled with lots of coming and going! In addition to our trip to Ventura, we were able to go to the cabin with family, take a trip to Prescott for soccer camp (also visiting family), we stayed home for about 2 weeks then headed up to Utah for one last quick trip before the boys started school. Here's our summer in pictures!

First, I need to send a shout out to my cute hubby for letting us go for a week while he stayed home to work. Love you babe! You are the best!

We first went to Prescott & stayed with Justin's sister Krista. She's so sweet to let us stay with her for an entire week! Love you sis! Gunner and Cameron are the same age so they love to play soccer together! (I loved this picture. It's not the best, but their faces are classic! Cam's on the left, Gunner's on the right.)

The soccer camp was called Challenger Sports. The coaches are mostly young college kids that come from England and spend a week here (in Prescott). They teach the kids basic soccer skills. Our coach was so nice! He let the kids jump all over him!

From Prescott we headed to the cabin in Greer to celebrate the 4th of July. We had lots of fun being together with all the Cook family. We went on walks, the boys & kids went paddle-boarding, had lots of yummy food and enjoyed one another!

This is Justin's brother Tyson & his daughter Kelsey paddle boarding. I didnt get pictures of Justin because we went at different times during the trip.

We went to the Eager parade to celebrate the 4th. The kids always love it because they get tons of candy! Krista & I found these super cute matching dresses for all the girls. Aren't they cute?!

On the actual 4th of July we did a flag ceremony as a family. The young boys handled unfurling the flag. I loved how respectful and careful they were of the flag.

After we got home from the cabin, we kinda just did normal summer things. Swimming lessons, splash pads, summer movies, etc. Here's the last few pics from July.

Red-faced boys...July is dang hot!

What a fun summer! I wish I was brave enough to take a trip without my husband, but Ty's too hard right now. I love the girls matching dresses and all the great photo ops. Can't wait to see the next post.
