Fun Day, Softball, Garden Update, Cookout and Finally Summer Break is Here!!

So to catch you up of what has been going on at the Frock household, the title sums it up.
First each girl had a Fun Day at their school to end things up and figured I would just lump that together since I didn't get good pics for either since I was one of the volunteer parents. Delaney's consisted of 7 -8 stations of fun things like story time, water balloons, goat visiting, obstacle course, seek and find, shirt making, to name a few. I was on shirt making for Delaney's school. Gretchen's consisted of 11 stations, including activities like jump roaping, water balloons (my station), egg races, 3 leg races, tug of war, jumpies, snacks, bathrooms and of course, others. Gretchen was so excited because last year we left right after school was supposed to be over for vacation, but with make up days she missed Fun Day. So she got the shirt, had all her little buddies sign it and got to participate. She was not thrilled we were not going to Myrtle Beach, but was happy we was around for Fun Day. This is an annual event we will look forward to. And I will have to remember to use my sunscreen next time, burnt for the second time this year already, courtesy of Softball fields and Fun Day.
Secondly, speaking of softball we are in full throttle softball/baseball season. We have been having a great season and it is so exciting to watch the girls play! They have not "won" a lot of games to date, but they are playing and showing great effort. So basically with 3 games a week for Gretchen and Missy's 3 boys all playing baseball I am at the field alot and I have to say just give Delaney sunflower seeds and she is an happy girl. And side not here I am such a happy girl that I got a really big tote bag from the Vera Bradley sale this year - it is great for the field and all our snacks, etc!! Shocking Delaney must really like watching the games, because she is even talking about signing up for t-ball next year where before she was concerned about getting hit in the head, lol. I have to say playing ball in the yard she can hit it pretty good! Another Frock softball princess coming up. I have to say I love watching softball and really hope this is something the girls stick with eventhough it is time consuming for them and us. Of course, time will tell and it has to be their choice.
Third - garden update. It really is growing!! The Frock Farmers are actually growing something in their first family garden. Our tomato and pepper plants are growing up, beans, lettuce and corn is sprouting out of the ground from seeds! The only thing besides the pumpkins, which we know we will not see yet, is onions we are not seeing. We all are very excited about the possibilities! Keep watching for more posts.
On Sunday of this past weekend we had our end of the year Girl Scout family barbeque and had a great time. All of our 12 girls families were there, but 2 because of family obligations. And out of the 10 families that came only 2 did not have their entire family with them because of the old divide and conquer concept. We were very pleased with the turnout and the beautiful weather we had. We had lots of good food, socializing and awards for each girl. Fun was had by all! I think the families really were looking forward to it since they all kept talking about it and even mentioned how much fun it was at the softball field the next night. You never know with that many people how it will work out, but everyone just hung out, talked, ate and celebrated the end of our first official year with our Brownie troop that started with 4 and grew to 12 girls and already have girls wanting to join our troop for next year. I will miss the girls this summer and our meetings, but at the same time look forward to a little break so we can have an even better year next year.
And finally summer break is officially here! May was a busy month and I know June will be, with softball, gymnastics and swim lessons, but at least no homework and we will have the day to do things. We are looking forward to our garage sale so we can earn money for an basketball hoop, summer reading program, vacation, swimming, movies, the zoo, trying the drive in movie, and whatever our summer fun brings. Shhh this is a surprise!! Sunday we are leaving to go to Ft. Wayne for an overnight trip so we can take the girls to see Taylor Swift on Sunday in concert and then we are going to the Ft. Wayne Zoo on Monday. Will have to let you know - stay tuned and hope you are looking forward to a GREAT SUMMER too!!
