I can't believe we are quickly approaching the end of June! It seems like the kids just got of school yesterday. If I allowed all my kids want to do is spend hours watching t.v and playing their electronic devices. Today I taught my fitness class this morning and then we came home and I let them do whatever until after lunch. After lunch I declared that they had to spend a few hours doing something besides watching t.v, playing on the computer or their electronics. They didn't like me very much at first but then I told them that when I was a child I spent most of my day outside playing in my tree house or on my trampoline. We also had a pool in our backyard but I didn't mention that;) So, Kayla decided she wanted to paint in her treehouse and gathered her supplies. Hayden quickly followed. They painted and then decided they wanted to squirt each other with water while they played on the trampoline. They spent 3 hours outside in the backyard. That is HUGE for my kids...they never go outside when we are here unless they are forced. It is weird. I must confess that Summer isn't my favorite season. I am more of a Fall or Spring type girl. I don't like to be hot but of course I don't like to be cold either. I don't love sweltering in the heat to be outside in the summer. I am also not a huge fan of hanging out at the pool...I know, I'm weird but I just don't love it. We have passes to the local water park and have been several times and we have also been to my Dad's pool to let them swim. Actually, that is what we did yesterday.
Here are a few things we have done so far this summer:)
We spent the first few days of summer at my Mom's in Fairhope, AL and drove over to Gulf Shores everyday for some beach fun:)
We went to the forest for a family hike one Saturday.
We had VBS last week
I hope everyone is having a GREAT summer:)
