Summer Time

Oh summer time! We have been waiting a long time this year for some warm dry weather. The first warm spell that came through, we drug out the pool and had a lot of fun. Lindsey thought this was pretty fun. Our neighbor even brought over her hose that was hooked up to her warm water, so they thought they were in a heated pool.
These are our favorite things to do in the summer:
1. Spend lots of time in the back yard. We have loved having the grass in and the fence up so the kids can have fun back there. We recently got a trampoline from a friend and they kids have jumped their little hearts out. Mom still wants to build her awesome play house, if not this summer then next for sure.

2. Have lots of BB Q's with friends and family. We finished our little patio and love hanging out around the grill, what can I say, we like to eat.

3. Go camping or on four wheeler trips to Idaho. I know I know the rest of the family will say you need to go somewhere other than Idaho, we will I promise.

4. Going with Daddy to all of his teacher conferences. They are free vacations for our family. Daddy works and we play, sorry daddy, but thanks for taking us.

5. Lots and lots of walks, bike rides, and trips to the park. We finally have some new parks in around us and the kids have to go to all of them on our walks. We are going on some fun bike rides this summer, now that the kids are really good on their own bikes, we will put a face guard on Brayden this time.

6. Camping in the back yard and watching movies on the side of the house. We have nice warm nights in the summer for this fun activity.



7. Plenty of pool parties. It is wonderful to have so many fun kids in the neighborhood to play with, the kids love to have reason for a party to invite all their friends.

8. Trips to the library. The kids have their own cards and think it is wonderful to walk to the library to find a good book. Hailey is such a little reader we have to go often.

Summers are great. Mom worries she will have to keep the kids entertained, but they do a pretty good job of that themselves. Can't wait to see you all this summer and make some memories.
