The Surratt Pack: Little Fish!

Ugh! I'm not sure where to begin... the last 2 1/2 weeks have been packed with fun! We spent last weekend in NC with Grandma and Papa for Eric to play with Papa in his Member/Guest tournament. Their three year run of victory ended this year, but they still had fun! Golf is definitely a humbling game:-) The kids had a blast playing in the pool and going to Music in the Streets and Riley and Lexa stayed for the rest of the week!

This was Riley's first adventure away from home (5 days!) and she had a BLAST! They played at the pool for hours each day, went on the boat daily and ate lots of icecream! They played at Deadwood (dinner/park for kids) and even dug for fossils in Aurora. Each night we spoke to our little adult on the phone and she'd happily tell us the daily adventures. It was all very surreal for Eric and Tracy... it seems like yesterday that she was just learning to talk! And according to Ri, "Grandma and Papa even let me (her) have soda... twice!" It was a VERY exciting week!

During this time, E & T relaxed with only one child back home... however, as always, Kyle came down with croup! He is better now, just fighting a secondary cold from the croup:-(

During all this time, both kids have become water bugs!! They have spent countless hours at the pool and are both swimming! Riley really has it down and Kyle, just keeps on trying - which impresses us to no end considering he just turned 2 and has had not lessons.

We have also had a couple of great dinners with great friends, visited Bebe (our fabulous patient!), gone to Kings Dominion several times, and had playgroup several times!
The kids LOVE school and are enjoying all the summer fun, including splash day. Kyle's teaches continue to crack us up... they claim that they want an entire class room of "Kyles"! They say his vocab is fabulous and that he is adorable and funny... we want to know which child they are sending home with us then - since once home he is a tiny terror! Just kidding, he is a sweetheart (with a little devil in him) and we are so happy his teachers love him as much as we do! OK, enough kid love... on to the pix!

Lexa and Ri waiting for adult swim to end... look at those little bottoms!
