Parker started baseball camp on Tuesday. Camp was scheduled to begin on Monday, but due to the horrible rain it was closed that day. He's having lots of fun.
As you can see, he's practicing his "skills" in the front yard. He'll be at camp for the rest of the week. Again, Grandma Glenn sure knows how to pick the right camps for her grandkids! 
Noel began cheer leading camp today. She was very excited and can hardly wait to go back tomorrow. She will be there all week for 1/2 a day. She came home totally exhausted. Quote of the day: "Cheer leading is HARD work! I'm serious Mommy!" Grandma Glenn really knows how to choose the right camp for her grand-daughter! Thanks Grandma! 
The summer boredom finally kicked in this morning and the pogo stick came out. Parker was determined to break a record. He wanted to see how many consecutive hops he could make on the stick. Noel was keeping tabs on each attempt and writing down the number. They were up to 124 in this picture. The final total was 136! Way to go. It certainly tired Parker out for a while.
Here is the P-Man attempting the record. The secret to many consecutive jumps is you don't jump too high off the ground.
Here is Miss Noel keeping tabs on her brother. Please note that she is wearing her helmet as well for safety reasons. Seriously, you can't be too careful.
We had a visitor on our swimming outing today. This guy came out of a tree and landed on the trellis where the swing is by the pool. Susann looked up and saw the snake and quickly snatched up Noel and ran into the house! Ron was able to take some neat shots before the snake disappeared under the shed. Turns out this guy is an Eastern Coachwhip Snake and it is very rare to see them in the wild. They are not poisonous, but it sure made the afternoon swim exciting!
