Summer Days

We have been exceptionally busy this summer, but not in the mundane exhausting sense. We have been enjoying the longer, warmer days, and later bed times.  Some of our favorites have been:

• The lake.  We love, love, love going to the lake.  There is a huge park, plenty of shade, and the kids love to swim and play in the sand. Added bonus, it's completely free!
• The rec center.  We bought a summer pass that is good through September and it has paid for itself already.  This has been awesome on rainy days, super hot days, and at night.
• Riding bikes.  This is the first year that all 5 kids can ride a bike.  The older 4 are all training wheel free and ride with what seems like endless energy.
• Picnics....need I say more?
• Bands and Karaoke at the pavillion.  The kids have also been hired to run a lemondade stand on Saturday nights.  They are very excited.

I hope your summer is going equally as well as ours.  It will be all too soon and the leaves will fall, the sun set at 5 and then snow!
