Mason at the Water Park with friend Sophia

The girls played in the park...and then the water was turned on.

So we quickly got into our swimsuits and Mason was ready to get wet! 

She was very adventurous and wanted to touch all the water and get wet 

She ran in and out of the water 

Mason and friend Sophia 

Mason saying Cheese! 

She is such a water girl 

Mason followed a lot of the big kids around

She is inside the circle of water with a boy 

Twirling inside the water circle 

Sophia was a little more reserved with the water, so Mason would keep checking in with her!

These two girls had a great time at the water park!

Mason is such a climber

Two strong girls holding on 

Mason wanted to give Sophia a high-five, which they did and then Sophia went in for the hug!  Too sweet.  I work with Sophia's mom and both Mason and Sophia were born on the same day and weighed the exact same!!

Soccer Practice

Practicing soccer in his new gear at our house 

Daddy and Corben playing kick 

Great kick from Corben 

Corben had his first night of soccer camp at our church, it is once a week for the month of July. He has been so excited about it.  He was excited to meet his "coach" who handed him his soccer camp shirt and directed the camp.   

The actual coaches are Fresno Pacific University's girl's soccer team! Wow! 

Corben is the second boy on the far left of picture (no hat)

It was 107 degrees at 6 pm tonight.

They took three water breaks and all the kids had to run back to their parents for water and then back on the field. 

Corben in the middle (hat on) kicking back and forth with another little boy. 

Group huddle to cheer for a great practice.

Notice Corben in his green hat in the center, not putting his hands in....maybe next week!
