~August~

The boys started out August 

heavily into AAA hockey.

Wesley had tournaments 

with his vulcans team 

and Matthew with his Fusion 

team.
Matthew also began playing 

soccer this year.

He finished up 

his field day for his gun safety

classes.

We spent a day checking out
antique and unusual aircraft
at the airport.

Then...Matthew broke his collarbone
during a hockey tournament.

This was a real bummer for him.
Out for six weeks!

We made the best of it.
It really did shut down
our extra curricular activities.
No more swimming, soccer, hockey
biking, rollerblading.
These are the things he had been
doing everyday.

The pontoon was reduced to
leisurely trips to Hudson for lunch.

The kids spent many Tuesdays
downtown Stillwater
enjoying summer Tuesdays
with friends and neighbors.
 Fires in the backyard with fireworks
is always a family favorite.

We managed to remain busy
despite his broken bone.
