This was such a fun busy week for you and Arya. You both tried something new. You, Finn, were in a drama and set making camp at the Spokane Civic Theatre and Arya was in an Art camp at the Corbin Art Center.
Blake Wiley joined you acting in the, "Hermione and the Hogwarts Home" production. You memorized lines, got to hang out with Blake a bunch and you both even designed the set for the play throughout the week together. Because your camp started at 11 and Arya's started at 9 you got to hang with him for a few hours in the morning each day. You mostly spent your time playing video games like Minecraft, Lego Harry Potter, Lego Lord of the Rings and Skylanders Giants. You had two speaking parts. The first was Ruben Aiken and the next was, Dumbledore (7 lines in all). On Friday, after a week of practicing, you performed for us and it was wonderful! Grammy and Papa and Grandma Lynn came to watch too. You did such an awesome job and we were so proud of you for your confidence up there on stage and your hard work too.
Arya and Loren had very full days at Art Camp too. I dropped them both off each day at 9 and Ehren picked up up at 3:00. Arya brought home many, many wonderful works of art between Monday and Friday and the girls were able to play with lots of different art materials throughout the week. All of you had such busy days that you were exhausted by the time you got home.
You both even spent the night with them and absolutely loved it!

Several Weeks Later....
The last blog I wrote (that saved correctly) was on Father's Day on June 21st. Today is July 18th so it's been almost a month. During that time, you and Arya have both had week long camps (Arya was at an art camp at the Crobin Art Center), Josh and Lena have come for their two week visit and we have traveled to a few different places and done many things.
Shortly after we returned from Camp Sweyolakan, starting on June 23rd, you and Blake Wiley were in a production at the Spokane Civic Theatre called, "Hermione Granger and the Hogwarts Home." You had two speaking parts; Rubus Aiken and Dumbledore. There were 7 lines you spoke independently and I think you're hooked! You and Blake also designed the set for the show and really enjoyed that too. I took a VERY nice picture of us together that day, but my camera was stolen a few weeks ago after I popped my trunk at the feed store in town here and all the pictures I took from this event as well as from the last year were on it and are now gone. :-( I am so glad you were brave enough to try this type of thing and am thankful you had a friend there with you to enjoy it with. We'll see if you want to do it again next year.
After this camp we had about a week of down time before we headed to Lake Chelan to meet Josh and Lena. Our visit with them was wonderful. They had a two room condo type thing in Chelan and while there, we swam and played in the lake. They were only here for a week but in that time we did lots. We went to the beach, walked around town. It was wonderful to get out of the house and into the world. You guys all watched satellite T.V. galore and we spent lots of time out on the deck of our unit visiting and basking in the sun. We also rented a boat and you and Arya went tubing and loved it! It was so fun for you both and was HOT so we all took a cold water swim, which was wonderful.
After we left Lake Chelan we came home and hung out with Josh and Lena and the boys here. Your daddy and Josh golfed a few times and you had LOTS of hours of playing "Skyrim:The Elder Scrolls V" and Halo 4 on the X-Box in the house here. The only other thing we did was go for the day to the southern most part of Lake Coeur D'Alene near Plummer, ID for a barbeque with Lena's family. You and Arya loved playing on big logs that were floating freely in the water. I would have loved that as a kid too! I would post a few pictures of it, but my camera is gone, and I didn't have it to take pictures with.
