Austin, Hayden and Sara did a two week tennis camp and really enjoyed it. We need to actually go and play tennis one of these days. Maybe they could teach their mom something. Now they've started a four day golf camp.
Todd and Nikki ran in the 15k Freedom Run on the 3rd of July. It fits right into our training schedule for the half marathon, so we get up early on the holiday weekend and head up the canyon, try not to freeze, and then run 9 miles for the first time this year. It's a great run. We had many neighbors, family members and familiar faces running as well. We finished together and we're happy with our time. It does teach us each year that the half is within our reach, BUT we still need to keep training.
The 4th of July weekend was completely typical and just how we like it. Fireworks (city and home), BBQ's, town carnival, parades, boating, yardwork....good American fun!
Date night is a continuing tradition in our family. Either Todd or Nikki goes once a month with one of the kids on a date. One-on-one time is hard to come by in a house full of people, so we get away for a while to talk and eat and do something fun. This year we've added Sadie and Carson to the schedule, and this was Carson's first date. We went to the neighbors for a little horse back riding. Carson was pretty shy, but I believe he liked riding Addie. She was just the right size and it was fun to see him try something new.
Sara finished up her first softball season, and it was a success even with mom helping coach! Sara did great, even if her Grandpa says she throws like a girl. We had a little end on season party at our house with water games and treats. The team was a bunch of cute girls. Softball is always more fun when it's kept to under an hour and involves a snack after. 
The summer just keeps rolling along and we are doing our best to soak it all in!
