We had such a fun summer! It was filled with all sorts of good stuff! Parks, the library, Seven Peaks, Trafalga, more parks, ice cream, movies, splash pads, mini golf, sprinklers, swimming, games, friends and so much more. I think we did a good job enjoying it while it lasted!
At our house, we love the library. The kids get so excited to go, and I love how on the drive home it is so quiet because they are all busy reading books. When we get home, my living room floor gets covered with books and they all dump their books there and drop down next to them and start reading. Our library gives a prize out if they bring back a reading chart. One new favorite prize are some giant candy necklaces that have a bone on them. One day we also took some snacks and a blanket, and stopped at the park on our way home.
Trafalga is a favorite place and especially these bumper boats. Here is Jayden and Austin, and I'm sure Dylan and Ethan weren't too far away.
We found this fun new splash pad with our Gibson cousins while Lance, Kim, Warren, and Xander were out visiting.
Each of our Seven Peaks passes came with $20 of arcade tokens, and they kept messing up on our order, so we ended up with $240 of tokens (they still aren't all used yet). I pretty much never let my kids do the arcades because I think its such a waste of money (I think we ended up with like $30-50 worth of random toys and candy). The kids loved getting to play them, and they got tons of tickets, which meant they got quite a bit of prizes, and enjoyed every bit of it. It all worked out since they got their chance to play, and I didn't feel like I was wasting a bunch of my money. Win-Win!
We also had fun playing mini golf at Trafalga. Most the time it consisted of Dylan and Jayden and Ethan actually playing, and me helping and watchin Austin and Lauren have their fun trying to play as well.
Seven Peaks was a great place to be. The kids really love that place! Dylan and Jayden are good buddies and go around together to the slides they want to do, while me Ethan, Austin, and Lauren hang out at the wave and kiddie pools.
Good old Baby Kong and Momma Kong ice cream cones. They sure were yummy and they sure were messy!
Our area ran super low on water this year, and before all the restrictions were put in place, we didn't have hardly any water pressure, so our lawn started to die. I pulled out the sprinkler attachment and Austin had fun playing in it. I love how he still wore his favorite cowboy boots that he was hardly seen without all summer.
We swam, swam, swam all summer. I love having such easy access to a pool!
We love games at our house, and I love the days where get them out and play for hours.
