Summer Time

Our summers are always full of trips and weekends away and we stay pretty busy with that. However, we do enjoy the laid back days of summer where we are free to do whatever we want.  Here are a few things we have been doing this summer during our free time.

The boys and I have been participating in the summer reading program at the library.  Their first prize was a free meal at a local restaurant!  

We've taken advantage of the $1 movies.  We saw The Iron Giant which we had not seen before.  By chance, we saw Colson's best friend, Preston there so they got to sit by each other!  Both Cannon and Colson enjoyed the movie.  (I slept through most of it!)

The park is always a great place to run around.  We met friends here on this day.  The kids played for quite some time and were sweating by the time we left.  It was a great day for a trip to the park. 

The boys helped me paint one of the sheds.  They were a big help!  I really dislike painting so painting they did, while it wasn't perfect, did help cut down on the time I had to paint.  

Reluctantly, Cannon agreed to sign up for a rock climbing class at the YMCA.  He was quite nervous but after the first class, all of that anxiety went away.  He has been loving it!  He's learned a lot about different holds and other climbing techniques.  He really enjoys climbing to the top!  

The library always has many different activities throughout the summer that the kids can participate in.  We learned about gold and how to pan for gold.  Both Cannon and Colson got to try their hand at panning for gold.  Cannon was very meticulous.  It was a great experience.  


We also went to see a puppet show.  There were two short shows:  Anansi the Spider and Ferdinand.  

Cannon wanted a drone and he saved him money to buy one.  He's learning to fly it and figure out some of the specific details about it.  He's taken some pictures and is trying to get the video to work. It's crashed a few times and we've already had to order more replacement blades!  

Bowling!  We've signed up for the "Kids Bowl Free" program for the last few summers.  It's always fun and this year, both boys are enjoying it.  They are both learning some of the scoring and it's great math for Colson!   

Summer's are the best!
Enjoying every moment!
