It was a hot hot weekend, and basically we did not really want to go do much other than swimming.  We went to the pool on Saturday and it was nice in the water.  The boys were so looking forward to the “Kick the can” on Saturday evening, and their wish came true.  They had fun playing with a bunch of kids on the street while Stuart and I got our steps in the neighborhood.  For Father’s Day, Stuart preferred low key and so we played some board games.  By lunchtime, Connor had a birthday party to attend at the cabana club, and I accompanied him.  Connor played with his friends in the pool, but he wanted me there near him.  I was happy to be in the water as it was so hot.  Next all the kids came out of the water and we had lunch.  By then, Stuart and Logan arrived to swim too.  Connor and I ended up hanging with them in the pool instead, and the couple of neighbor kids later joined us.  Connor enjoyed being the monkey in the middle getting the ball (with my help moving him around in the water) from the older boys.  It was fun and good exercise too.  After few hours at the pool, we came home and Stuart barbequed our dinner.  We were exhausted by the end of the day.

     I took Connor to the dental office on Saturday to have sealant placed on his molars.  Connor did well watching a movie while the hygienist worked on first two molars.  He then became a bit more uncomfortable with his mouth opened, and getting more antsy with the remaining two.  Connor did finally manage to let the hygenist finish the job.  Considering Connor did not require nitric oxide for this procedure, he did quite well. 

   We signed the boys up for a six-week summer camp at the local high school, which a couple of Logan’s friends are also attending.  The camp started last Tuesday.  We have been dropping the boys off at the before school and after school program where they play video games.  Within the entire camp, there are supposed to be like close to 1000 students, but either Stuart and I had been there during the camp hours to see if there is any chaos.  However the classes seem quite organized with teachers emailing us regularly with what’s going on at camp.  The children are learning some language art and math in between all the fun times they have there.  They had pizza and ice cream day last Friday, and they will be going to the theater for Cars 3 this Friday.  So far the boys seem to be enjoying the camp, giving it 8 to 9.5 stars the few times we asked them.

   The boys were out of school on Friday.  We initially planned to pay a visit to the grandparents, but unfortunately they were sick and we had to postpone the trip.  Since I was just getting over the longest cold I ever had, ie 1.5 weeks, I used these four days off we had to recuperate.  We mainly stayed near the house and just did a few things.  We finally took my car in to change the tires.  We were happy that our neighborhood plaza opened up a hangout place; it is a boba tea shop.  We made a couple of trips for drinks and snacks there during the break.  Connor likes their chocolate milkshake and the fried lobster balls, and Logan only cared to have their french fries.  We also enjoyed watching the last two final Warrior games, and we were happy for the victory.  The boys also spent a great deal of time out on the street playing with the neighbors.  One of the neighbors have a ping pong table and a foosball table in their garage, so they also spent some times there.  Saturday night was the boys’ favorite as they had a crowd playing “kick the can” and “capture the flag”.  There were 15 kids in all out there, and it was certainly a late night for our boys.  Finally I was better and we were able to play tennis on Monday to get some exercise. 

   I forgot to mention that the boys had an open house on 5/23/17.  We first headed over to the Superdome to check out the Art Show.  The Art Vistas leads along with the volunteer parents did a great job displaying an art piece from every student in the entire school, and they even had a middle school band playing instruments there to add to the ambient.  It was a great turn out at the show.  Next we headed over to the each of the boys’ classrooms to look at all the nice work they had gone throughout the years.  I was able to capture a picture of the boys with their teachers. 

     Logan had two field trips during the last two weeks of the school.  One was an ice skating party which was for the entire 3rd grade.  Apparently Logan did not skate at all as he said he did not like it, and instead he had fun hanging out with Maxim hanging out there in the waiting area.  The next field trip was going to the planetarium, and Logan enjoyed watching the show.  I did not volunteer at either of the field trips. 

    For Connor, their class had their end of the year party at the park next door.  I was feeling a bit better then, so I took a longer lunch to check out their fun.  Connor was happy to see me, and wanted me to stay near him while he played.  The kids played different activities and loved the sundaes they were served. 

   Just like that, the year had ended and the boys are now 4th and 2nd graders.
