Summer Fun!

Summer vacation started right off with a bang this year.  We have stayed very busy for the first couple weeks of summer, but we are loving just getting to be outside and have fun!

We took the kids to a Twins game.  The game was supposed to start at 7:00, but they had a "rain delay" (there was actually no rain, just the threat of lightening), so it didn't actually start till about 8:15 or so.  We also found out that there were fireworks after the game, and we had promised our kids we could stay to watch them.  After all was said and done, the fireworks didn't start till after 11 pm, and we didn't end up getting home till around 12:30 am!  Needless to say, our kids were exhausted, but despite the delays, they had a great time and were troopers staying up that late!




Then, the week of June 15th-21st, Don and Cindy went on a trip to Mexico, so Ben came to stay with us for the week.  Our kids thought it was so great to have him here, and he was such a huge help to me as well!  We stayed very busy.  In between my kids swimming lessons we went to Camp Arbor, a kids event that our local mall holds every week.  The kids were able to plant a flower and get their faces painted there.  We did a few days at the park, sometimes with a picnic lunch.  On the one rainy day, we went and bought some perler beads, and the kids sat all day and did that.  It was great!  On Saturday, we went to the county fair.  The kids each rode a few rides, and they got to hold the cutest baby bunnies!  It was a fun week, but we were on the go, and this 7-month pregnant mama was feeling a little tired by the end of it.  :)








With as fast as these first couple weeks have gone, summer is going to fly by, and before I know it, it is going to be time for the kids to go back to school again!
