Third Year Campers

Kaitlyn and I just finished our 3rd year at girls camp.

As a 3rd year Kaitlyn went on an overnight backpacking hike.

Back from their hike - they survived - and even had fun!

I was happy to be back in crafts again this year.

This is where I spent a lot of my week -

cleaning bowls and paint brushes at this sink.

I don't know why, but I thought it was cool - very campy and rustic :)

This was this years craft project.

The girls painted a block of wood and then decopauged a picture of the temple
that said, "I'm Going There Someday". 

The girls seemed to enjoy their time at the craft shack.

Kaper time - washing the dishes.

Singing for their food.

My idea of ending a week at girls camp :)

I looked forward to getting my nails done all week.  It was a great time to visit with Kaitlyn and talk about our week - even though we were both there together we don't get a chance to spend much time talking at camp.  My favorite part of camp every year is watching Kaitlyn try things she's never done before and to see her having a great time!

All Star Game

We were all very excited to watch Logan play in the All Star Game,

but we were a little afraid of the heat - it was over 100 degrees and the game started at 1pm - right in the heat of the day.  Since it was so hot they decide to limit the game to 3 hours and Logan was disappointed - he wanted a full 9 innings - crazy boy.

He was disappointed that the coach only let him catch 2 innings because of the heat - like I said crazy boy.

Enjoying treats after the game.

On the way home he may have shown that the heat affected him a little more than he thought.

Slurpees after the game helped us all recover from the heat a little bit.

Baseball Season

Logan wasn't sure he wanted to play baseball this season, but he is so happy he decided to give it a try.  He was finally able to wear the jersey of his favorite MLB team - the Giants.  Also the team sponsor was Foster's Freeze (that meant free ice cream cones for every win or tie game).

But the best part was that he had a great season of playing baseball.

He loves to run fast and steal as many bases as possible!

He also had fun playing at many different positions this year. 

He was able to pitch and catch and played first base, second base and third base, shortstop and outfield.

To top off his great season he was asked to be

on the All-Star Team.

Go Giants and Go Logan!

Summer Time

So glad school is out so that we can relax and enjoy the sun in the backyard with our friends.

Goodbye Elementary School

Logan graduated from 5th grade!

Receiving his certificate from the principal - Mr. Green.

Friends from class...Jamar, Joel and Kayla

His 4th and 5th grade teacher - Mrs. Fischer

Logan and Ernesto

Promotion was the day before school was out.  The last day of school he wore his swimming suit and had field day (games involving lots of water to celebrate the last day of school).  Farmer Logan took a basket of vegetables he's grown to give his teacher.

Next up...Middle School... :(

Logan was very happy to celebrate the end of school, but I was so sad.  We moved into our house 16 years ago.  Mno Grant Elementary School didn't exist when we moved in.  They sent around a flyer just after we arrived announcing the school and a groundbreaking ceremony.  I decided I would go to the ceremony so I could tell my kids I was there when they started building their school.  Of course at that time I had no kids and was starting to think I never would so I came home and cried and cried.  Now 16 years later two little Fontaine's have attended the school from Kindergarten through 5th grade.  We have loved Mno Grant (wish we could say the same for our Middle School and High School) and I am soooo sad that we are done with that stage of our lives.
