August Adventures....part 1

And it's August. Summer (as expected) has flown by at lightning speed.
School starts next week. Some are ready (mom, dad and Daniel); some are not (Kacy).

But to circle back:

Kacy started out the month testing for her yellow belt.
Next up: sparring.

We had a great view of the blue moon on Friday, July 31 at the club. Our friends the Mansolillos were there with us to view the rare occurance.

And as they say, once in a blue moon....you get all the kids in a photo to cooperate at the same time with a blue moon rising in the background.

Daniel and Gia....always having fun.

With August comes the annual Week on the Island at Baltimore Yacht Club. Grandma once again wins bravest woman on the island for inviting the four oldest grandchildren (ages 5, 8, 11 and 13) to join her on the boat all week.

There was swimming (day and night)....

Night fishing and of course, some tubing.

Fun times on the boat during a great week.

As though there weren't enough excitement during WOTI, we headed off to Lake of the Woods, Virginia for a weekend to visit with friends at their lake house. They have all the toys and were very happy to let the Hornes try out wake surfing, a new venture.

 And of course, tubing was on the agenda. Again. Who are these kids?

That's all for now....
