Kindergarten ended with a bang. Mom invited a bunch of friends over for a last-day-of-school playdate. We threw water balloons, ate junk food, and just ran around celebrating our freedom!
I finished up baseball and had a pizza party to celebrate.
We've spent a few weekends at the lake with MiMa and PaPa and Andy, Sammy, and Molly even joined us for one!
Of course, we've been going to Busch Gardens some. We haven't made it quite as much as we did last year (we went three days in one week last summer) but we have had a lot of fun when we've gone!
We spent July 4th at the pool. We are usually at Grandma and Granddad's but the holiday fell during the week this year so we stuck around here. The pool was a blast, though...I've never seen so many people there! Even Emily had a good time!
I turned the big-6 on July 5th!!! I decided that I wanted to go to Water Country instead of having a party. We had so much fun there that we didn't take one single picture! It was awesome and I rode eveverything there. I have become quite adventurous in my old age. We did have the family over for dinner and cake...and presents, of course.
To top off my birthday, Aunt Ashley had her baby!!! Baby Owen Robert was born on MY BIRTHDAY!! Mom, Emily, and I went to visit him the day after he was born. He is SO cute and Aunt Ashley and Uncle Joe let me hold him!
After all of that excitement, we headed down to Myrtle Beach for summer vacation!!! We stayed in the same resort as we did last year but this year, we weren't chased away by a hurricane. We had a great time but Mom and Dad kept saying something about how vacations were supposed to be relaxing and how that's the one thing they didn't get to do. I don't know what they were talking about, though. Who wants to relax when there's swimming, skim boarding, and putt-putting to do!
Between all of this, we've just been doing the 'normal' stuff.....Vacation Bible School, swimming at the pool, and playdates with friends.

Who needs Water Country when you can make your own water slide?!

It's hard to sum up the summer in one blog post. We still have three weeks left and we are trying to make the most of it!
