Summer Activities

We have had 6 weeks of swimming lessons and then fitting in little fun activities here and there. Our big vacation is in 2 days and that will be a long post in a few weeks. Here are bits and pieces of what we have been doing. (these pictures and activities are not in order)

Sydnie's first ever swim lessons. Scott wanted nothing to do with it. Oh, he loves swimming but with me only and trusts me that I won't make him get his head wet...
I can't figure out why I don't have a picture of Shelbie swimming...just videos I guess.

playing around the house in the front yard, sprinklers, back yard, riding bikes down the block to the school/park and swinging on the disc tree swing, and of course toys/imagination play that I hardly ever take pictures of because it is just normal life.

The kids took their first bus ride. We have been so blessed to have our own vehicle and haven't really had the need to take public transit...but boy is it a fun adventure for the kids!! We too this bus to the beach and another day with took it to Bella Terra.

Our neighbors hosted a neighborhood movie night. It was Night at the Museum 2 and we couldn't resist keeping the kids up late to enjoy this.

We also went to Wild Rivers but didn't take pictures there cause we all had to be in the water so each kid had an adult nearby. It was fun but a little chilly. Shelbie went down some bigger slides and Sydnie was more adventurous than Scotty by going down the little kid ones with out help. We love the shallow pool to just hang out in, too. It is so warm.
