A to Z Summer Fun Weekly Recap

Our letters this week were F and S.  The weather has been weird, in other words totally normal for this area.  The beginning of the week was hot and humid so we could only go outside for short periods of time.  Then Thursday evening and overnight we go the remnants of a hurricane with rain and wind.  The Fourth of July was cloudy in the morning but BEAUTIFUL in the afternoon.  It was 80 degrees with no humidity.  This was great for playing outside was chilly for the pools and squirters we'd promised the kids.

 S - Squirt fight and Swimming
I love that D was teaching S how to swim.  She was doing and saying all of things her coaches tell her at swim lessons!  I promise I was also involved in the squirt fight.  It's just impossible to squirt and shoot photos!


 S - Splash Park 
I shared our adventures at the local splash park earlier in the week!


S - Sponge bullseye
We also played a game on the driveway throwing our animal sponges at a chalk bullseye.  The kids loved it and I was so busy having fun with them I forgot to take any photos.

 F - Fourth of July and Fireworks
We had a low-key Fourth but it was fun.  B's parents came over for hotdogs and hamburgers.  The kids played outside and then we enjoyed some fireworks in the driveway.

Great Country Farm

Image
Today to celebrate Spring Break we ventured to Great Country Farm.  We went last year at Spring Break also.  The kids had so much fun, when I asked what they wanted to do this year the first thing they said was "Great Country Farm!"  So we packed up the van with kids and grandparents and off we went. Just like last year, the kids had a blast playing on the slides and bouncy pillow.  Like last year I went down a few slides too.  Unlike last year I paid attention to the "12 and under" sign and stayed off of the bouncy pillow!  The kids also fed some goats, bounced on pigs, climbed on a bunch of wooden obstacles, and tried out the rope swing. And of course, no trip is complete without a little gem hunting! Last, but not least the kids rode the cow train.  S was till upset we didn't do this last year.  He definitely enjoyed the ride more than D!

Happy Easter

Image
I hope you and your family had a wonderful, happy Easter!  Ours sure did!!!!   We started the fun on Saturday evening by decorating Easter eggs.  We managed to spill 0 cups of egg dye and I only cracked 3 eggs while boiling them.  As you can see, egg dying is a serious and thought provoking experience in our house. The Easter Bunny left baskets on the table and hid eggs downstairs for the kids on Easter morning.  The baskets had an art book, a book to read, Mad Libs, Tsum Tsums, one small toy, and some chocolate.  We spent the afternoon with family having another egg hunt and dinner.  It was a great way to spend a warm, Easter Sunday!

Here Come the Police!

Image
Like most little boys, S is obsessed with anything that moves, makes noise, and has buttons.  I guess that's why one of his favorite toys right now is a remote control police car he got from my parents.  He drives around, where he wants it to go.  Although he does point the control backwards most of the time so when he pushes the reverse arrow it actually goes forward.  When it drives it makes siren noises.  Plus it has buttons on the car and the remote to push.  What more could a three year old boy want from a toy?!?!?
