Green Meadow Flies Again

It took awhile, but we are catching air again!!! Do to a stellar line of credit, the family picked up yet another tramp. No offense to the original, but the new green round one is pretty much the coolest toy, we could find for summer (short of a sweet sailboat, but the stellar line of credit only goes so far).
Built by a serious construction crew, last Sunday, the first real test came this morning. All four gymnasts took the the sky, in an effort to test performance. Even in the summer rain, it threw them true and straight and all is well.
Consultants have requested that we bury this one, so no storm can defeat us. That may require planning, as the hole will have to be pretty deep, to accommodate Dad's triple back rolling spread flip. He tends to catch grass. This is probably do to physics we don't understand, cause it sure can't be his mass alone. We will update you on the progress of the hole.
Moving on for now...Mase just touched a cloud.

Things we missed...

Since we last met...It has come to my attention that some things got missed in the past few weeks and the public is clamoring for more, so as to not disappoint the fans, here is an update.

Emma: Miss Emmy spent a week at camp, not so long ago. Although she was tried by mosquitoes the size of a small moose, everything went quite well. While Mom, kept track of her store purchases, using on-line technology, we discovered her love of Powerade and caramel apple suckers. Not sure if she was using the suckers for currency, much like cigarettes in prison, but she sure bought a bunch. Anyway she made it out alive. If you talk to her ask about things like "the Blob", zip lines, and how to shower everyday, but never take your new soap out of the box. Note to Emma: when showering at camp at least get your soap wet, so Mom does not discover it in the box.


Matt: Let's see... Matt is soon attending soccer camp and swim lessons start this week. He was put in the "swims like a dolphin class", so I am sure he will find this very fun. He is almost the size of a small Amish barn now, and weighs more than two Allie's. He is spending the summer working on his wit and charm, so as to match his Dad. Matthew just returned from Grandma and Grandpa R's where he spent much time buried in a cold flowing river. The only goal being soaking Dad, while mocking him. Nice work, Matt.



Allie: Our dancer recently put on quite a show during the season ending dance recital. Our butterfly swooped across the stage and shook the curtains, causing a stir throughout the crowd. We are packing for Las Vegas, as we are sure her career will be taking her there soon. Allie is in the middle of her swim lessons and is considering some deep diving to go with her vastly improving free style stroke. We will update shortly on her Olympic status.




Mason: Our Mason continues to run to the beat of his own drum. He also will be attending swimming soon and soccer camp. We are hoping he escapes soccer with no cuts and bruises. Check that. We are hoping his opponents escape soccer with no cuts and bruises. Mase will be fine. He spent his weekend playing with his cousin Brayden, while up north. Many people notice similarities between the two, which may or may not bode well for Brayden. Mason always keeps us guessing, being a little fireball.




Brooklyn: Our pooch grows and grows and grows and smells...Comparable in size to a small Grizzly bear cub, Brook is working on her stench and is getting quite good at it. It enters the room before her. She spends most days staring out the back window, waiting for pal Jackson, to come play.




Leia: The cat has been gone almost all summer. Wishing her the best while hunting.

Michele: Hold the phone, Michele is changing class rooms. Due to a fellow teacher moving on, she is grabbing the room she has wanted for awhile. She is also very excited about her good buddy getting the open position. Not sure how that will play for our house, as their excitement grows and all we hear about is school, school, school. 6 weeks till school...will update accordingly.

Ben: Hmmmm.... well, he works. Then talks about school. Plays with Stinky the dog. Then talks about school. You get the idea. Sometimes he gets to help coach basketball, which makes up for all the rest. Then he talks about school some more.

We will continue to update as we see fit. Or if Brooklyn somehow smells better, that will be worth writing about.
