summer sum up

As I look back over my pictures from the last 3 months I'm reminded what a great summer we had! Here are some pictures to sum up the summer.

 

We spent some time at parks.



We did LOTS of reading!



We spent time learning most week days.



We played LEGOS, lots and lots of LEGOS.



We played in the backyard.

 

During the week of constant rain we got creative with some fun indoor activities!



I froze plastic ocean animals and boats in large tubs of water.



Addie and Doak used hammers to (carefully) excavate the ocean animals and then they carved boats, ice bergs, etc.

 

We made houses with grapes and toothpicks.




We visited The Children's Museum in our town with some friends.



We had moments of sweet sibling bonding.



We had fun with non traditional toys.

 

We went to the movies (Brave-too scary! and Winnie the Pooh-perfect!)

 

We did chores and learned that earning money takes hard work.




We made homemade ice cream in a ziploc bag.




We rode bikes to TCBY and were so sweaty!

 

We went to church (and found one that we love!)




We rode bikes to the pool.




We met our new friend, Griffin, son of Chad and Christi, little brother to Cooper.




 We saw friends who stopped by on their way home from the beach.




We had lots of time for love and hugs!




We spent many days at the pools or the spray park.



Sometimes we met friends for water fun.







Sometimes family was the only friend we needed.

 


 







Here's to the summer of 2012!
