July 2015

This month found us enjoying a variety of activities.

We went to Utah for our annual pilgrimage to the Utah Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City, Utah.  I will put the pictures in a day by day series.  I won’t comment unless I feel it’s necessary!

We flew into Las Vegas, met up with J and D and headed north!

Day 2…

This is Fred Adams, the founder of the festival.  He gave the orientation before the evening performances.

Time to head back down to Las Vegas…

Had to visit Mike’s old stomping grounds!

Hope you’ve enjoyed our trip out west.

I’ll finish off the rest of the month another time!

The Month of June

It has been a busy but fun month for us.  We started off with R going to the Best of Preps in Chattanooga.  She was selected to the area 2nd team for girls golf.  John Smoltz, former Atlanta Braves pitcher, was the speaker for the evening.

The next activity was a trip to Texas to see the eldest grandson, P, graduate from Odem High School.

It was planes,

trains,

and bus rides!

Of course, our first stop was…

Our hotel had Texas-shaped waffles, which are always a hit.

T enjoyed getting to hit in the batting cage.

Swimming was a great time.

Fishing was another activity…

There was a time for relaxing with Buster Posey…

and going to see the Hooks play baseball.

Picture before going to graduation…

He made a great speech at Graduation but I was focused on the evening and didn’t take any pictures!

His dad presented him with his diploma…

T won some hardware at a golf tournament.

R played in several golf tournaments in June…

T and his favorite caddy…

Payne was selected to play in the Texas High School Baseball Coaches All-Star game as a first baseman.  It was great to see him play in his last game!  A week later he was named to the All-State first team as a first baseman.  When his regular season was over, he was named All-District as a pitcher.  In addition, he was on the All-State Academic team in baseball as well as football.  So proud of his athletic success as well as his academic success.  He was Salutatorian of his class and will be attending Texas A&M in the Fall.

The computer is not letting my add some of the pictures that I wanted to add, but if it changes it mind later, I’ll add more to the post.

 

June was a fun month with lots of activities.
