Our July

Since the beginning of July, it definitely seems like we've had more opportunities to sleep in or stay in our pajamas past 8am!  But Kara still had a few more weeks of swimming.  To our surprise, she qualified for the Valley Time Trials and then also competed in the Valley Finals.  In the last regular season home meet, Kara came in first in her heat, so she earned a Wolfbuck which allowed her to get a free snack at the concession stand, so she was all smiles.


We even had time to take a trip to Bravo Farms, just a few exits down the freeway, for some exploring and ice cream.


And Mommy dared to turn on the oven in this heat and baked some cookies!


We even had a friendly gyoza eating competition between Ben and John... Our little Ben did us proud!  Not only did he eat a good amount of gyoza for an under-40-pound boy, but he kindly told John he could take a break if he needed to.


Yummy food, snacks and dessert... now this sounds more like vacation!
