Soccer, Swimming, Nanny Jenine

A couple of weeks ago a local apparel company, Lost in Fargo, put on an artist flea market where you could come and purchase art pieces and used supplies. The girls and I checked it out and had a fun time. I found some shirts for Clara and me and Brynn got some used paints that she had been after on the cheap.

The girls have both been having a great time with Jenine, our nanny. She is so amazing. These are a little out of order, but some of these are pics that she has sent me of the girls doing activities...

Clara at her golf lesson.

Brynn's friend who lives close by us also has a younger sister who is already 8, so really close to Clara's age and they have fun together too. Jenine offered to take all four of them out to dinner and for bowling last Friday night. They all had a great time.

While the girls were out having their fun, Dana and I finally went to see what all the hype was about and took in the new Top Gun movie. We gave it a five out of 10. But, it was still fun to go out.

At Scheels doing some target practice. hehe.

Doing a science experiment at Jenine's house.

Clara loves Star Wars and will often draw Baby Yoda. Jenine bought this big Baby Yoda plushie for Clara. 💜💚

I was surprised by Jenine and Brynn at my office last Friday afternoon with this beautiful bouquet. When I walk down the hallway that leads into my office, I can smell them well before I even reach my door.

The weather has been great for water balloons.

This soccer season is now over, much to Clara's disappointment. I'm sure Coach Dad isn't quite as sad though. ;-)

The above pics were from a couple of weeks ago and then this past Monday was their last game. Jenine and her husband came to watch Clara, which was sweet enough, and then they brought her flowers too. Unfortunately we had to cut the game short and high tail it on out as a storm was moving in on us.

When the temps reached over 100 on Sunday, Clara and I headed for the pool. We tried a new one that we hadn't been to before. We had a good time cooling off.

Clara being silly when we were out to eat at Texas Roadhouse.

Clara and I giving Brynn's friend Brooklyn's kitty, Johnny, some loves. She is so sweet...and old. At 18 years of age, she's older than Brooklyn and Brynn! She is in good health, though, thankfully.

Reading on the deck last night instead of updating the blog as I have been meaning to do.

Clara wanted to check out a different park tonight, so we drove over to Willow Park near Scheels and played around until another storm started getting closer.

We're getting some nice, much needed rain right now, so we'll take it. Family rain storm selfie!
