Friends come to Visit

Before I begin, I must confess that I stole most of these pictures from Liz (stole because I didn't even ask--hope it's OK Liz). Our friends moved away and we have missed them, but I think Oakley missed his friend most of all. They came to visit and it was like they had never left. It was a great time. Hope to see you again soon!

Going to the beach.

A few parting shots.

I think they just might stay friends for a long time despite the miles of separation.

Soccer and Pinewood Derby

Oakley played spring soccer this year (because baseball is too boring). He has a great time on the the 6-7 y.o. team since he didn't turn 8 until the very end. It was kind of nice for him to be one of the more experienced players and he loved it. I think soccer might be here to stay.

This was Oakley's first year in the pinewood derby. He and Bryce worked on the car and Bryce was sure it would not be fast. But, guess what? Oak's car won the whole thing! Go Oakley! (who'd have thought....)
