Summer is flying by, and we have been busy having a lot of fun around here! It has been hot, hot, hot, and we have had to get creative to beat the heat!
Regan took swimming lessons and did great. She went from being a non-swimmer to being able to do the front crawl across the pool. I was very proud of her fearless attitude, and so was she!!
We have been doing lots of bike riding. One day we went, and the wild flowers were so beautiful!
We have been trying to cut down on the use of electronics during the week, and that has really helped the kids to become more creative. Ashton made up a game called "Dogopoly" (like monopoly). It was so detailed, and provided hours of fun.
Jordan is love the extra time for "summer reading". She can almost always be found with a book in her hands and has read over 40 chapter books just this summer!
Cole and Regan like to play with the dominoes and make all kinds of messes! Some times we can wear Cole out enough to get him to take a nap.
Our afternoon spent on the Celebration Belle riverboat with some wonderful friends was spectacular. The weather was beautiful and being on the river was so nice. I love how there were flags everywhere.
We recently finished reading "Anne of Green Gables" out loud. (one of my favorites) After finishing, we wanted to have a tea party and watch the movie. I had forgotten that the move is over 3 hours long! We had to split it up into 2 sessions! Poor Cole, he always has to put up with these "girlie things"!
Only one more week left until school starts. I can't believe it! We are going to try to fit in a few more fun things!
