Summer!

Memorial Day we went to the lake.  We have been getting lots of rain lately so the lake was muddy and really full.  

The kids had no problem swimming and having fun!

We ate yummy food and had a good time.

All of us got a little burned, so it is the official start of summer.

We came home full of mud, but it was worth it!

We have been getting so much rain.  One day we had 4.5 inches in an hour.  It filled up our street fast from the overflow of the creek.

The creek also reached our back fence in the back yard.  After the rain slowed down it went dropped just as quickly as it rose.

Raytheon had an open house.  The kids had a blast!  We never get to go to Michael's work because security is tight, but they just moved into a new building so they had an open house.  This picture was taken in the STEM room.  They were catapulting balls into waste baskets.  We also made airplanes and got to see how far they would fly.  They provided lunch and a little scavenger hunt for the kids.

Michael showed us the gym as well.  All the kids wanted to test out the equipment.

The kids loved having their own security badges and now they pretend that they work at Raytheon.  It is really cute.  

This was the first day of school and we just got out Friday, so I thought it would be fun to compare the first day to the last day. I didn't take a picture on the last day of school but the Raytheon badge picture is from Saturday so close enough.   I think the boys' look hasn't changed much, but they sure have grown and learned lots.
