Summer Fun

I love summer. Let me say that again: I LOVE SUMMER! Winter and Spring? Take it or leave it. Except skiing. I love skiing. Fall? Fall is my second favorite season. But summer, I could have summer all year long!

We’ve had a great summer. Here are a few miscellaneous things we’ve loved this summer…

1 – finishing the loft in the cabin and sleeping out in the cabin.

2 – Mom reading “Treasure Island” out loud to the kids at bedtime.

3 – Bailey soccer camp in our backyard

4 – moving mulch (only the part where the kids get to earn $)

5 – swimming in the new pool!!!

6 – finding new, faster ways to go down the slide.

7 – selling Cal’s Frozen Lemonade during the Parade of Homes

8 – piano lessons with Ivy Vance

9 – summer learning essays (maybe it’s just Mom that loves this).

10 – summer crafts

11 – playing with friends

12 – floating the canal

13 – having Elena stay at the house with the kids while Kira, Jeff and I were at Pioneer Trek

14 – eating dinner outside on the back deck
15 – playing guitar on the roof and being on the roof in general.
