Fast Cars and Freedom...the Briggs Family: August 2013

This was an EXTREMELY busy summer. These boys keep every minute of every day booked up. I had to work this summer as well, so it got a little tricky sometimes. All 3 boys played allstars. Scott and Michael's teams didn't go very far, but Dallin's Senior league team went to state in Vancouver. That was pretty exciting and fun to play teams from all over the state. We ended up getting knocked out of the running by a team from Redmond. They were such a great team and were really great sports. It was a pleasure to be around such nice parents and players. Scott went on to play for a select team from SK..CHAOS!! What a fun group of boys. I love the coaches and am really going to miss them when they go on to coach other teams next year. Scott's pitching really came together as the pitching mound was a little further away on most fields that they played on. He could really put his umph into it. One tourney, he pitched 116 pitches!!!

Scott's last year of day camp was this year. He is a Webelo now, so he got to go with only boys his age. They held it at Van Zee Park again. It is so stinkin' hot there. I am looking forward to other adventures for him next year. He did a great job this year in the archery tourney. He took top place for the most points all week. What a buddy!!!

Tom's Birthday :) For Tom's birthday this year, I decided to kidnap him and take him to the San Juan Islands to go camping. He had no idea where we were going. It was fun to keep it secret. Did you know that it costs $100 to ride the ferry to the San Juans??!! YIKES It sure was a perfect day, though!
