Rogers and Friends at Play

Our summer was blessed with many "at home" days with hours of outside play.  Weather was good, and we had lots of pool time too.  Sometimes our friends even got to join us.  Other days we snuck away to have some fun putt-putt golfing or go-kart racing.

Blue Lake

Both Mitchell and Owen had the huge opportunity to attend Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp this summer to play their instruments.  What an amazing experience for both the kids and the parents!  The boys LOVED their time there, and we the parents were stunned by the musical performances on the last day.  It was beyond words.  I think we are all hoping we can make this the first year of many that they attend.

Headed to Camp!
