Ackermann Family Newsletter: June and nearly July--Pixtons

So I am either really late for June or pleasantly early for July. Last week was our first week of summer break and it was busy!! We had cub camp for Isaac and Caleb, Scout camp that Bruce helped with and taught a geology merit badge at, YW camp for Rachel and Bruce and I each helped a few days at cub camp. So I felt like we were all going in a million different directions. But everyone had a great time! And now we are ready to have some free time this next week.

Manassas Battle Field during cub camp

June was full of all the end of the school year parties, celebrations and graduations. Alex graduated from 5th grade is ready for middle school next year. I was on the celebration planning committee and Bruce designed the t-shrit for the theme "Brave the New World".
He also designed the cub scout camp shirt for our ward--maybe he should open up a side business--as long as he doesn't quit his day job!

At camp Rachel came in second place at the final heat of the canoe racing. She LOVES the canoes and has been so excited since last year at camp to do them again. The team who won had a laurel who is leaving, so she already hopes to take first place next year. I guess she takes after her dad--Bruce was on the crew team in high school.

Speaking of high school--this year is my 20 year reunion!! Can you believe it! You're on next year Tran! It's 5 days after we leave Utah, so we won't be going, but it blows my mind how fast time flies!

Alex ran in the school Mustang Stampede for fun and ended up coming in 3rd or 4th or something like that. He has discovered that he loves running and he is fast! He wants to try out for the track team next year in middle school.
