It’s the last first day picture. Patrick began his senior year. I will try to hold it together…

So hopeful for a win…

We met Bobby in the elevator at our hotel!

Shopping at the outlets on our way home

Even though we did not get a W, we had a blast. You can see all the pics in the July folder.

Family Vacation Summer of 2025

We went back to Pensacola for a week. It was a great time of relaxing and hanging out with friends and family. Florida is also cooler in June than in August! While we were there, the Blue Angels were in town practicing their show. We got to see them two days in a row!

My umbrella ready for some beach time!

My birthday dinner!

I took some video of the Blue Angels show. They are so awesome. We were very proud to be Americans and so thankful for the US Navy. It was difficult to record as they’re doing a bunch of stunts in pieces…sometimes together, sometimes splitting up. Because it was so hard to film for me sitting in my chair, I just put all my clips together in one long video if you’re interested! Shannon did an amazing job of taking pictures, obviously! I’ve included them in the June folder.

And of course, I took a million pictures, so you can check them out here in the June folder.

Motorcycle Safety Course

The boys want to drive motorcycles. I’ve told them they can do that once they turn 40. This does not please them at all. So Patrick asked to take the motorcycle safety course. I figured that’s a way for him to ride one, but in a controlled setting and learning the safe things to do while riding. So the boys took a weekend and took the course.

Course work before actually riding

It was an exhausting weekend.

Mac’s Reward

Mac won the Achiever’s award at Best Buy. This is similar to an award for the most sales. It’s a pretty selective award with it being rare for someone from his store to win it for their region. We were so proud of his work! For winning this, he received a paid trip to California. He could take a person with him, so he chose Shannon. They could also choose activities to do. They chose Disneyland to visit Star Wars Land. Here are the pics I received. 🙂

Ready to board the flight!

He won the race!
