As we finished up the school year, there was of course a flurry of activities, and so this is going to try and summarize the events that we enjoyed in part - although it is mind-boggling as we still have a lot to catch up on!
The end of the year always comes with the finale for Adventurers. We have really enjoyed the Apopka Adventurers club, but with Kaleb graduating to Pathfinders now we are leaning towards heading over to Forest Lake church club for both kids. We will miss the Apopka group of friends, it was fun to see a wide group of people and to go on their camp outs!

For Mother's day, Jennifer started a fun tradition of the mom's going out to the beach. Kelli and Amy headed out to the beach together as we had to dash back for the Investiture program, so it was fun to be able to visit as we drove. Thanks to Jenn for organizing and to all the ladies for a fun, relaxing day!
On Mother's Day, we headed out for breakfast and then afterwards we came back to go boating together for some silly fun. The day was overcast, so it wasn't too hot which was nice!

| Addison insisted Amy wear this plastic necklace that she made - and wanted to have "all the ladies in this picture including her doll Taryn! |
 |
| She thinks thatshe is Tarzan |
 |
| Trying his hand at driving....very very slowly. |
We took the opportunity to get the kids up wake surfing as well - the kids do pretty well with Kaleb really knocking it out of the park - we went around the lake three times with him up on the board!
 |
| Peace out dude! |
 |
| We stopped in the middle of the lake and jumped/pushed each other into the water - lots of laughing and a fun swim! |
 |
| This is a complete picture of the new SUV and boat - it has already been a lot of fun family memories, so our goal was accomplished! |
Thanks to our good friend Heather who is always on the lookout, we went to another fun play - Judy Moody and the mad mad mad treasure hunt. It was amusing - as you can see with Karis joining the kid line-up holding up their "hook" finger!
Addison is her father's daughter to be sure....in more ways than one. But the most recent one is that she is growing a bushel of wheat! She has been diligently watering and tending to this precious crop!
Addison is in gymnastics class on Wednesdays, right before ballet. She has been enjoying it, and likes to hang out with Elin and V!

A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of hanging out with our friends at their lake house for their son's graduation - it was fun to visit with a lot of new people, and to watch the kids playing in the monsoon rain!!

With the end of the year comes the end of the organized sports (whew!) - Kaleb finished up his flag football and Zachary finished up the Orlando city soccer league

Amy had a birthday in May (would they just STOP?!), and Addison was so sweet, she insisted that Amy stay in bed for a reallly long that time that morning so that she could have a surprise, and SURPRISE - it was a blue cake with tons of sprinkles on there! Addison delighted in making it...and eating it along the way!
 |
| The masterpiece |
 |
| That is a lot of candles..... |
 |
| Thanks sweetheart! |
With Amy's job, the hospitals have tickets to various sporting arenas in Orlando and Tampa - we don't often try and get the tickets but recently in the hockey play-offs - game 7 in Tampa, we couldn't resist trying and scored! Karis and Amy's cousin Jeff - both Canadian hockey buffs, had a super fun time going to the game - although the Tampa Bay Lightning lost unfortunately! But, it was a once in a lifetime fun experience and look at the smiles on their face!!!
