Lara and Emma basically spent the whole weekend together. This is next to unheard of! I am proud of them for talking it through and making it work for everyone involved.
But first, there was Friday in Stillwater. Pioneer Playday, the biggest fundraiser for Pioneer Athletics Booster Club, was held on Friday. The first day of summer, and the HOTTEST and MOST HUMID day of 2019 so far. Somehow, we survived. Sweaty, dehydrated, and almost miserable, but it was a successful day and we came out of it proud of the job we accomplished
Lara was a HUGE helper for all things Pioneer Playday. Thursday night, since my men were in OKC for AET 2025 training and practice, she was my only car and helper for auction set up. We drove to the home of the person who collected the items, loaded up her car and several others, then drove to Stillwater Country Club to unload. Once everything was inside (where there was cool air conditioning!), we began the setup process. A couple of hours later, we were done and headed home. Lara was also instrumental on Friday. If there was nothing for her to do at the Country Club, she was babysitting Finn or helping run errands off-site. She spent most of the day with Sarah, who was also the Victim" of being a committee member's kid. They got to drive the gator, so it was a good day!

After she was released from her Pioneer Playday and babysitting duties, Lara was off to Ponca City and Newkirk, Oklahoma (population 2,300) to spend the weekend with her sister and her grandpa. I am not 100% sure what all went one up there! I know they worked at their grandpa's Napa store in Newkirk for several hours on Saturday - she was compensated with a little cash and a whole tank of gas. And they stayed at his house in Ponca City - not sure he was ready for the invasion of 2 teenaged redheads! The girls also saw the movie "Toy Story 4" in Kansas, went to church in Newkirk, and supported the church kids' car wash - where Lara was not super impressed with the job done. She is spoiled by Coulter Car Wash in Edmond! I also know on Sunday Lara had lunch with her grandma Karen before coming back home to Stillwater.
Of course, Sunday, what seemed like mere moments after her return from Kay County, she was off to dinner and who knows what else with Erika and Kendall for the rest of the evening. Her summer nannying job start time got pushed back, so she didn't have to be up as early, so she stayed out later than usual. I never see these crazy kids anymore! Ah, Summer!
Another weekend wrapped up - here's to the next one!
