August 2023

Anna attended a vocal camp at the high school the first week of August & enjoyed performing a small show for parents. She and her friend, Emmy, had a solo part together. 

Dinner with long-time friends…a shrimp boil!

A Switchbacks Soccer game…our local soccer team. It was a beautiful night to be out.

James had a full week of band camp at the beginning of August. Families were invited at the end to see their efforts. James is playing bells in the front ensemble. They are off to a great start!

Kenny took the kids to an indoor climbing gym & they loved it! 

James’ track photo from the spring finally made it to my desk so thought I’d include this photo here.

A Vibes baseball game…

The big news for August was the start of school for the kids – 6th grade & 9th grade.  We worked on buying school supplies & uniforms mostly at the end of July so had just a few loose ends to finish up in August. I think the biggest adjustment for our family was the new fall schedule. By the time school began we were already into our ballet & band schedule in the afternoons & evenings, & adding school days was a challenge at first.  After a few weeks, we were all in our new groove.

Our annual day at Lake McConaughy…the morning started very cool, cloudy & foggy, but turned into beautiful weather. Not too hot & not too cold.
