The Beginning of Summer

I have survived two weeks of summer break so far. Trent has almost three months off of school, which is great.  I am so excited to spend the time with him.  
Week 1: Trent had basketball camp in the morning and then in the afternoon we found things to do.  
On Monday, we just regrouped from our busy weekend of camping.  
Tuesday we headed out to Bass Pro Shop with my parents and nephew.  Bass Pro Shop was having workshops and activities for the kids during the afternoon.  Trent and Jake learned about archery and shooting and then got to shoot a bebe gun and bow and arrow.  They also went "fishing" where they tried to cast into a bucket.  They had fun with all the activities. Whenever we are at Bass Pro Shop Trent has to follow the bear and deer tracks around the store.  It's the little (unusual) things that Trent finds fun. 
The boys fishing...
The rest of the week was pretty mellow.  I got Trent back on his bike and we rode around the neighborhood in the afternoons. 
Week 2: Trent went in the morning to Music and Drama Camp, while I went to work for a few hours.  
On Wednesday, Trent and I took a friend from school and his Mom to the Dodger game.  It was a day game and of course it ended up being the hottest day of the week.  The good thing was the food was half price.  Trent and I ate for $8.50, which is a steal for Dodger stadium.  Even though, it was hot and we were in the sun the whole time we had a good time.  Trent and his friend stayed interested in the game and talked about whatever boys talk about...I am pretty sure the conversations involved DS games and what the best strategy is for this or that.
On Friday, I went to see the play that the kids were practicing for all week.  Trent was a lion in the play Daniel and the Lions Den.  He had perfected his roar during the week and did a great job.


RRROOOOAAARRR!
We didn't get on the bike this week, but we did play in the backyard and in the tree house.
This weekend Tim, Trent and Tim's Dad are hiking up 8 miles to the top of Mt. Wilson.  The story and pictures to come.
