The Weekend

The summer is moving a long. We have lots of little things going on and enjoying the last few weeks before school and college. 

Heidi joined me this week for a Live & Local event thrown by the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. My coworker's band was playing and we attended to enjoy the music. It was a fun event with beautiful weather and we are happy we went. Heidi had never been to something like this and she was loving the variety of people and has never been to a country concert before. Here is their band: https://www.reverendleemusic.com/

 

The weather has finally evened out to put up the volleyball net again! It is always entertaining working up at my desk and watching Lucy play with her friends. 

Rizzo being adorable.

Lucy, Chris, and I went and saw the new Spiderman Movie - great movie! I wasn't tall enough for this amazing hot dog cut out, but we made it work. 

Volleyball has begun for school! 

Skateboarding

We had a lovely weekend filled with friends, skateboarding, shopping, volleyball, and relaxing. The picture above is Heidi trying on all her clothes to decide what she is bringing to college vs. we are keeping here. In the digging we found the sweatshirt she "borrowed" from Grandma Babs probably at least 5 years ago. Whoops. Heidi said she is still keeping it though :) 

Friday night we headed to the Belciks for a casual hangout. Lucy wanted her first skateboarding lesson and the Belciks graciously let us borrow their old pads for safety. It was beyond perfect weather and we had a lovely time having garage and driveway beers. 

Jim, ex baseball player, convincing Chris he could swing fast and not hit his nose. Don't worry - Chris didn't fall for it - hahahaha

We discovered all the extra skateboards were great leg rests while hanging out. 

Lucy did pretty darn well her first few times. She is ready to learn more. 

More lessons are coming!

Lucy also wrapped up her volleyball camp for school. Practices start this week!

 

The Final Grad Parties...

Though Heidi is not done attending graduation parties - we are done! We wrapped our final 3 parties this weekend. All joking aside, it has been fun attending these parties, meeting family, seeing the old photos, and catching up with people we haven't been able to see for awhile. Buuuttt we are also happy to get our weekends back and I'm happy I'm done giving graduation money to kids :) 

First up, we had Michael Marshall. The Marshalls are friends of ours, in our fantasy football league and Michael has known Heidi since Kindercare daycare days! We adore him and it was fun looking at everything and catching up with our friends. Side note, his party was during the crazy air quality days and the Canada wild fires. We all squeezed into the community center in our neighborhood to avoid outside - it was hot, but better than being outside in the smog. The smoke was no joke. We had headaches for a couple days and our eyes hurt. We are glad we had a rain storm this weekend to break it up. 

Sunday we had the lovely Ashley! Another Kindercare daycare buddy and it was great to be back at their house with hayrack rides and catching up. Luckily by Sunday, the fire smoke cleared out. 

I spy Lucy!

Lastly, we headed into Cleveland and went to Noah, Jason, and Emilys' grad party. Though we didn't know very many people, it was great to meet family members and celebrate the graduates. 

The summer is going fast! We have about one more month and Heidi is off to college. She is basically ready and now it is just hanging out and enjoying the time. Lucy starts school volleyball this week and we are getting her school items ready too. The time is going to fly! 

Here are the remaining other photos I received from friends.
