Summer activities

This summer is about half over and we haven't done quite as much as I had hoped to. The kids don't seem too upset though. They never seem to want to go anywhere but complain that they are bored?!? I don't get that part. So earlier in the summer Hunter went and spent a week with my dad. Just Hunter and his cousin Josh who he had never met before and is also about the same age. Apparently they had a blast and got along very well. I would love to have had more pictures but my dad is sometimes slow about those things. The picture below is the day we went to pick my boy up. He didn't want to leave. Either did Stella.


My dad had set up lots of fun things for the boys to do. One of those things was this super big slip and slide, made out of a large piece of plastic (not one sold for the purpose of slipping and sliding). Stella couldn't quite get the hang of the running and falling to slide so grandpa helped pull her along with a rope. She loved it too.

Anther activity that has been happening alot this summer is 'dress-up'. Stella has been raiding my closet and I can hear "clip-ity clip-ity clop clop" down the hall when she wears my heels.

Super-hero is the other dress-up of choice. Well really it's not a choice as much as the only other option. This girl really would love dress-up clothes for her birthday. (Anything pink would be loved by her, I'm sure)

Good or Evil??? I'm not sure!

Another activity that we have been making the most of this summer is going to Lithia Springs with some of our friends. We've been almost every week this summer. Sometimes more than once a week. The kids still love going and aren't tired of it yet. In this particular picture they are building a "Tadpole Resort". It's one of the few pictures I have with all of my kids and not too many other kids.


I can't believe there is only about 5 weeks left before school starts. I dreaded the summer but I know I'm gonna miss them when we are all in school and Stella is with a sitter. : (
