Our Last Hurrah!...

For our last hurrah of the summer we headed over the mountains to Spokane for the weekend...

We left late Thursday night after grabbing Meg from the airport and surprised mom and dad with an 11:30pm arrival...They didn't have a clue! Griff was spoiled with some great Bullpup gear for the weekend...

Dad's original jacket from his '86 and '87 State Championships

Bag of Fun...

"NO WHITE FLAGS"...TEAM GLEASON!

Eskimo Kisses

 

Griff's buddy, Davis, came over on Friday morning for some quality BFF time...

 In the afternoon, we headed to Prep to see Dad in action...Griff even did some math problems of his own, even completing one correctly in front of the whole class!

Score Guesses...Prize = $43 bucks

Final Guesses

 Before the game we headed down to Grandma and Grandpa's for dinner...Griff learned all about carrots.

Love this picture so much.

 Saturday morning was very low-key...we all slept in (Griff until 10:30, a record) and then had lunch and did a little school shopping...Then we headed to Hugo's to get some bowling in...

GRIFF WON!!! He was so excited:)

Big win for Teen...

 Sunday was spent at home relaxing...Dad cooked us an amazing dinner of Steak Oscar...HEAVEN.

That's a wrap.

We had a wonderful weekend with family, and it was even extra special that Megs was home...we are excited for our big 3rd Grader, but this quite possibly will go down as one of our best summers yet...There was never a dull moment, and we made sure to spend quality time with Griff when he was home...I can honestly say that we didn't waste a second of our summer with him, and both Nick and I feel so blessed to have the memories we do from this summer...with family and friends, and most importantly with the 3 of us (well 3 1/2  including Scoot:))...Griff's backpack is packed, his school supplies are ready, and his school clothes are stinking adorable, but most excitingly, he has worked so hard at home with us on his reading and math, and I'm confident that he is ready for all that 3rd Grade will bring!
