Summer Vacation... Week One

Well, the first week of summer has been marked off the calendar. We stayed so busy that it sure didn’t feel like summer, though.

Burrito had one week of band camp. The purpose of this week was to introduce the incoming freshmen to the upper classmen and to the fundamentals of marching band – mostly teaching them the routine of practices and the different warm-ups that are used. The other highlight of this week is that all of the percussionists are assigned to their instrument for the coming fall. Burrito has been practicing and preparing his entire freshman year with one specific instrument in mind…

And we are now the proud parents of the marching band’s newest bass percussionist! Our band has five bass drums and this is the largest of them. Burrito is not the largest of the bass players.

Kat started her summer off in very girly fashion… getting her hair highlighted. It turned out very nice and she is pleased with it.

By the way, Max enjoys hanging around while I work on my blog.

Some posts just crack him up!

Others, not so much.

Oh, those photos of Max are just priceless! LOL

And your daughter looks so lovely with her highlights...
How exciting for your son becoming the marching band's bass percussionist!

Isn't it amazing how parts of summer can seem busier than the rest of the year? ;)

The drum is HUGE but he looks as though he can handle it.

Oldest daughter is not going to get to march nest year since we are moving. She'll have to wait for 9th grade now.

The highlights look Great and the kitty looks sassy.


Be blessed Dawn!
