Football Season

I wish I could take credit for these pictures with my new camera, but truth be told, Hunter's best friend's father grabbed them for us. Hunter and his best friend Collin, (Hunter #66, Collin #65) had a chance to play on jr. varsity last Saturday against Yorkville. They lost but Hunter got some great plays in. Last week's game against Oswego was soooooooo stressful. We were down 20- 13, then we scored with 20 seconds left to make it 20-19. Then our coaches went for the 2 point conversion instead of the field goal and we LOST!!! This game was a biggie because it was the two Oswego School's against each other- biggest crowd I've seen at a game so far this year. Hunter's enjoying it and though he doesn't always get a chance to play the whole game, he gives it all when he does play and he's working very hard at practice. Grades are good. He's a nice guy. Off to a good start this year! GO WOLVES!!








p.s. Aunt Nelda and Uncle Chuck, games are on Friday nights~ we'd love for you to join us one evening! Mom, Dad, Aunt B, Julie, Kev & family~ thank you for coming to his games and cheering him on! It means a lot to all of us to have you there! =)

Closing ceremony

Every year we celebrate the end of summer with a "closing ceremony". This year the kids wanted to camp at the Warren Dunes in Michigan so we packed up our stuff and some friends and headed north.
It was cloudy and sprinkly when we first got there. Just a little peek of sunshine got through.
My new favorite picture of Matt

Hanna, Lauren, Matt, Hunter, Brendan and Gav at the top of the dune. Just behind Brendan is Lake Michigan.


This is where the dune extends into the woods. We start off on a hike in the woods and end up on top of the world
the boys enjoyed a campfire with hot dogs and smores




Gav's telling you, "I did it. I climbed that big sand mountain!"



Lauren & one of her best friends Hanna







It was the pefect ending to a quick summer!
