For me, it's impossible to keep up on everything that I'd like to especially during the summer time. Life just gets too busy. We have been having a great summer! We only have 3 weeks left though! I can't believe it. Here are a few highlights...
- Field trips with friends! My friend, Cassidy, and I have tried to plan some fun outings for our kids. We visited a nature park in June and the kids had a blast hiking, playing in the creek, and running around like crazy.
-Strawberry Picking! Another field trip. Sam did most of the picking this year. Max and Jake focused on eating. We walked away with 9 pounds of berries...but I'm sure the boys ate at least that many while we were there!
-No Schedule! I love that in the summer time we can have slow mornings. It's been a really strange summer when it comes to weather. We've had lots of rain and not a lot of sunshine. Everything is so beautifully green. And I have not missed the 100 degree days with 100% humidity, but we have missed not being at the pool as much. We've still had fun though and I'm thankful everyday for our backyard. The boys love it.
-Wimpy Kid! Sam has loved reading this summer. He's been staying up waaaaay late with a headlamp on and a book in hand. He just finished the last book of the Wimpy Kid series. He loved them and giggled constantly while reading them. He's adorable and growing up so fast. I can't believe he'll be in 1st grade in 3 weeks.
-Father's Day! We celebrated Fathers Day with a fun BBQ with friends. Avon, Indiana is full of amazing people. I really feel so lucky to have ended up in such a great little spot. Our awesome friends, the Armstrongs, had the kids do 3-legged races with their dads. Eric, as always, was super competitive. Sam and Max loved it.
I love watching Eric be a dad. He loves his role as a father and takes it seriously. I feel blessed that my sweet boys have such a great example in their lives.
-Football! Sam finished up his first season of flag football. He loved it!
Life is good!
