Go Climb a Rock!

Logan really loves to rock climb. Our good friend Karen introduced him to the sport, she's taken him a couple times now, but Saturday was a treat...Since Karen is moving to Santa Barbara next week, she took Logan and ME to the rock gym so I could learn how to belay.
I discovered that it isn't that tough! And I also discovered that Logan can really scramble up the side of a cliff. I was very impressed!
Notice the Shamu hanging from his belt...Karen made him that to hold his chalk!
We're sure going to miss Karen! But we know we'll still have the chance to see her when she comes back down to visit plus it gives us an excuse to check out SB. AND she still has to teach Logan & Caden how to surf!!!!!

First Day of Summer Vacation...we've been busy...sort of

Today we prepped for Summer Vay-K... We made Logan's summer playlist. It includes a few surprises Track 1 Kung fu fighting (not a surprise AT ALL) 2 We will rock you (big lightbulb today when he discovered that "we are the champions" is the same song) 3 Boom Boom Pow (the clean version) 4 Who let the dogs out 5 Celebrate 6 YMCA 7 Barbara Ann 8 California Girls 9 Surfin USA 10 Hoedown Throwdown (yes, Shawn will probably disown him) 11 Best of Both Worlds (again, disowned) 12 SOS by Jonas Brothers (he beat me down) 13 Unwritten (I really like Natasha) 14 Pocketful of Sunshine 15 Hey there Delilah 16 Yellow Submarine (he get a little credit back with Dad) 17 Twist and Shout 18 Ob-La-Di 19 The lion sleep tonight 20 Sloop John B 21 Time of your life 22 Star Spangled Banner 23 Proud to be an American 24 God Bless America (I have NO IDEA where this patriotism comes from, but I think its great) *** We also made a "What can I do list?" inspired by his kindergarten teacher. It will live on the fridge for constant reference. (I was trying to keep the list to things he can do on his own)

How Time Flies

It just seems like a few days ago when it was Logan's first day of Kindergarten. Where did the school year go?
Logan's school finishes the year with an old fashion field day... filled with
good friends
hula hoopsmore good friends

potato sack racesLimbo Dancing

Frisbee throwing and Running Races to name a few.

After this action packed day, we said our good byes to Mrs. Greenan and headed off to Golden Spoon with some classmates to kick off Summer Vacation!
Caden got to say goodbye to all his buddies too...(you would think he did tricks or something to gather a crowd like that)

Unless you're related to Logan, you don't need to watch this

Here is the video from Logan's Year of Kindergarten Celebration.
