Second Half of July

We've stopped exchanging gifts with my parents for the most occasions, but I surprised my mom with some flowers and cashews this year.
Esme and I caught a performance of Aladdin Jr that featured 3 of her softball teammates the day before the tournament.
The costuming has a 70's theme which was really fun.  This was a summer camp like show that they prepped in less than 2 weeks.  Violet, Isla, and Ramona.
We celebrated the end of the season with a small meet-up at Urban Air with Carleigh, Isla, and Avah and their moms.
We closed it down and chatted for another 30 minutes outside. It was fun just to chat with other adults.
Parker was invited to a summer gathering of kids from his school.  He quickly found a garage door he could open and close manually (with parent approval) and that kept him busy for a while.
Even though the season is over, Esme has continued to ask to play catch and practice batting with anyone she can.  Here she is with Grandpa.
She even played a bit with Jaxxon.
Summer storms knocked out our power one night and Esme and I hunkered in the basement before going out to Grandpa and Nana's house with our food.  It ended up being the right call because it took a whole for it to come back.
The kids have been home on Jimmy's off days this summer and have taken a few scooter rides to the donut shop in the morning,
Some acquaintances from our old church moved to our neighborhood at the end of the month.  Esme and I stopped over on moving day.  Esme made a couple new friends that will be great to have so close.
