My Summer Round Up

It's been awhile since I've posted on my blog. I thought I would share some photos of the fun times we've had so far this summer.

Matt has a new job as the manager of the Vermilion Yacht Club. On Memorial Day they had a huge celebration.

Matt stands at the ready to raise the flag. 

Michael played the bass drum in the Vermilion Sailor Band.
The band was brought over on the Mystic Belle to play at VYC.

Michael helped Matt fire the cannon for each captain
 as part of the Memorial Day ceremony.

Once school was out for summer, Michael went to Ohio State Football Camp. This year he stayed in the dorms. The camp was three days.

We're waiting in line for registration.
We were told that there was a total of 700 campers attending.

This was the introduction of the coaches in the Woody Hayes Facility.
Two of my students from Perkins also attended.

Michael spent most of his time in the Shoe. The "Bigs" worked on drills well into the evening.
But they did have time for some fun too.

Sorry it's a bit blurry. Coach Meyer spoke to the players on their first day at camp.

In June some of the ladies of the VYC held a Tea party. Each hostess designed a table for the guests who would be sitting with her. To start things off there was a raffle. While at our seats we learned Tea Party etiquette. The food and tea was divine.

Some of the items to be raffled

Michael has his eye on one of the items to be raffled. It better not be the martini set.

The men's table

We could bring our own tea cup and tea pot if we chose.

This June Michael and I had the opportunity to travel to Tennessee with my brother Bobby and his family. It had been a long time since I had visited Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Here are a few photos from our trip.

Michael's holding a Sugar Glider. We so wanted to bring this little guy home with us.

They flew on Goliath, the highest zip line on the course.

You're never to old.

Mining for gems

Whew! Once we returned from our vacation, Michael was off to football conditioning and then the dreaded two-a-days in August. This summer has flown by so fast.
