Chess Camp


So I've decided to posthumously post on some things we've done recently.  This summer Blake went to Chess Camp for a week.   He learned a lot about chess and when he wasn't in class or a tournament he got to go boating on the lake, do archery, swim, and have a real summer camp experience.

It was in Big Bear, so he spent the night in a cabin and slept on the top bunk of a bunk bed (a dream come true for him).

A Confession.....

OK, so I know that my blog has said all year that it's my "year of redemption".  Well my confession is that I did not post that.  Brett did.  And he posted the post before that about his own wedding.  Yes, Brett posted about his own wedding for me and Tate asked if he needed to do the same. 

Then I kept waiting for a really cool thing to post about.  I'd take lots of pictures of things (for my blog of course) and then never post.  Well, I finally decided just to put something out there and I thought I'd just start with the kids back to school pics.  Why not.  It's almost September and I need to put something out there.

Colin's first day of 1st grade...nothing but smiles all day from him!
