On Thursday, David and Jzo left to get 1/2 way to Spokane for the soccer tournament that begins this afternoon. We didn't want Jordan to be too "car-wiped" to be ready to play in the heat for over an hour game without any sub players! Jzo is excited to have 3 nights with Dad to himself!
Meanwhile, I was waiting for Ryker and Marina to get home from camp. A couple hours before we expected them to get back to town, we got calls from counselors' cell phones which the kids borrowed, stating they'd had bus troubles and would be a couple hours later than planned.
So, at 8:30pm instead of 6:00, after over 8 hours of driving, 3 huge charter busses rolled into the school parking lot where many parents waited anxiously - note... 4 busses left 5 days ago. Definitely some stories to be shared!
Although in the past two years when picking up the campers they've been so exhausted they could barely talk - these two stayed up for a couple hours chatting away about all the random fun experiences they'd had. I'm sure more wild stories will come out over the next few days. Too bad David is missing this!
Well, now it's Sat. afternoon.
It's quiet here for a bit, Marina is at a dance workshop, Ryker is over at a friend's house, and last .... she's home!
oops! Now it's Sunday, early morning...
Obviously, it's much busier here when the family members are around!
We've now had a "High School Musical-2" TV movie watching small affaire (Marina +2 girlfriends) while at the same time Ryker went to a buddy's house under the guise of having pizza, playing hoops, and maybe playing a game indoors - turns out they ran upstairs at 8pm and watched it too! (H.S. M-2 is a Disney Channel movie) Like my friend said, they probably realized they needed to watch it so they'd have something to talk to the girls about!
(Blurry - sorry)...Bailey, Marina & Tess watching HSM-2
Jzo's soccer team has played 3 games so far: 1 tie, 1 win, 1 loss. The tournament points earned however, put them in the Silver Division Semis which play today at 10:40 - if they lose, they'll pack up at the hotel and drive the 5 hours home. If they win, they'll stay and play one more at 2:00 and after that, drive home. Not sure exactly, which I'm rooting for (I miss them!).
Marina's supposed to go to a big b-day party two of her girlfriends are having down at the camp on the lake, which will be 3 hours of swimming, playing, etc. on all the cool water apparatus they have down there, but the bummer is, today it's raining and only in the upper 50's so far! Could get to the mid 60's and just be cloudy... we'll hope.

It sounds like your kids are having a fun summer, Tina. That's so funny about Ryker going to eat pizza and hang out with the guys (and sneak in the viewing of HS Musical 2). Lindsey and I watched it too, but not until late after her babysitting job on Friday night. It was pretty cute, and Lindsey is already memorizing some of the songs. I thought the dancing this time was the best part.
We had so much rain this summer, but it's been dry lately, despite what you might be hearing on the national news channels about flooding in Central Texas. We're not experiencing that where I am. I hope Jordan's soccer team has fun and does great. How nice for David to spend that quality time with him.
