School's Out For The Summer!!!

 Summer is Here!!
May 24, 2012
 The kids woke up nice and late 8:35 (Which is sleeping in for us around here). They woke up to their annual Summer basket.  They get this every year on the last day of school.  Well we had a big Summer Swim party on the last day of school with all their friends, so I decided to wait and give this to them the next morning.  They were so excited, because they didn't think I remembered.  They were so excited to start to do anything and everything in that basket all in one day.  It did feel like we did everything you could do in a summer in one day, but I think the kids had a blast.  I know I did. We started the day off by doing a little side walk art.  Then we moved onto racing leaves in the gutter down our street. Loved this because I used to do this when I was little. Addison had to win every time so of course she would cheat:) Then we colored some pictures, went to the park. Ate a picnic out on the patio.  Went on a hike to see some of the places the fire had burned up on our mountain. We then came home and read some books, blew some bubbles, checked on our garden, washed the car, and ate a bunch of otter pops.  We then ended the night with a family movie night.  It's funny how much you miss, setting in front of a computer.  We had no T.V.  that day, or computer, so it was nice to be together as a family.
