USA! USA! USA!

We watched the USA soccer game at Another Round on Friday afternoon. Fun times and they won! :)

Cousins selfie

The boys caught a ride with us to camp on Tuesday, so of course, Avery took a selfie!

Summer camp!

The girls had their first day of summer camp this week! They are doing the Avery Coonley summer camp for 4 weeks to kick off the summer.

They were a little disappointed that their summer camp friends were not going to be at camp until the second session. At least they'll have two weeks of camp with them!

Milo was sad that the girls were ditching him again! He had gotten used to them being home for a week! :)

Last day of 7th grade!!!

Can't believe it's the end of 7th grade already! The girls did so well their first year of middle school. They adjusted well to the larger school, changing classes and met many new friends along the way. They are looking forward to the summer and hanging out with friends and spending time at the pool! We do have a few camps lined up and our annual trip to Michigan in July.

Some pictures from their last day...

Milo wanted to be in the pictures, too!

Screenager! :)

I was not allowed to take a "getting on the bus" picture, so here is a "walking to the bus stop" picture!

They still humor me by making these boards!

We picked the girls and some of their friends up from school and took them to lunch at Gia Mia.

We went next door to Every Day's a Sundae to grab some ice cream after lunch.

And to mark the most annoying 7th grade trend, they all did some 6-7 poses! :)

Playoff Championship

Morgan's soccer team played in the championship game on Thursday night. Eight of the ten girls on their team were out because it coincided with the 8th grade graduation. So, they picked up three girls from the younger team to play with them.

The game started out rough. The girls got down 3-0 and it looked pretty unlikely for a win. But right before halftime, Lynnea had a great corner kick and one of the girls subbing on our team headed the ball in the goal. After halftime, the girls played hard. Morgan had an awesome cross to Lynnea at the goal and they scored again! They were playing really well in the second half and had a lot of attempts at goal. Mina scored the equalizing goal and the girls were so excited! No other goals were scored, so they went into PKs. (Oh, don't mind the different jerseys - the other team was neon green and we were bright yellow and the refs made our team change, but not all of the girls brought their away jersey so we had a mismatch of uniforms for the game!)

Lining up for the penalty kicks

Morgan was the fourth to go on our team and scored! Then after her, the other team missed and there was no way they could win. So, the fifth girl didn't even have to go. They won!

It was a great season for these girls! Most of the girls will be back next year, so we can't wait to see what they do next! :)

Dance Team Banquet

DPDC held their annual dance team banquet on Wednesday night at Neat Kitchen and Bar. They have a buffet, drinks and cupcakes. The dance teachers hand out awards for each of the kids. Avery got a lyrical award (they give each kid an award for the style they excel at). She also got a technique trophy. The final award is just for fun - the kids all vote on a name or description of the other kids. Avery got the "out of this world outgoing" award. :)

They have one last chance to perform their competition dances at the recital in a couple weeks. Then, the season will be officially wrapped up.
