Is It Still June?

Well, this week was a tad bit more stressful now that SJ is in summer school and we are back in the apartment. The good news is I have some unexpected adventurous oportunities coming up that are sure to make the rest of the summer a BREEZE! Speaking of breeze, the weather has been spectacular for mid June. We've had a lot of rain, but it's been a cool summer so far, which is prefect for this mountain dreaming, winter preferring, layered-clothes-loving family.

Here is what we did to stay busy…

1. Bounce House
The church J has been leading worship at had a big dedication Sunday for their new building. There was a grand reception, which included with massive bounce house. Church activities are a great way to break up the summer monotony.

2. Fruit Creation
You know how much I love fruit creations! Z has been craving fruit pizza and since Mario is his favorite character we went for it.

This delightful combination of kiwi, strawberries, apples, pears, oranges and grapes didn't last long though.  

3. Spray Ground

The first time we went to the park that supposedly had a fountain play area we got there when it was already turned off. Not to worry, we still had fun without getting wet. Can you spot my three kiddos? I'll give you a hint, thankfully they are not ON TOP of the slide. 

We went back the next day to have a chance to splash around in the "spray ground". I foresee a lot more of this boredom buster in our future.

4. Legos 

Z played with little legos at the big table while the other two played with big legos at the little table. Lego fun for everyone. 

5. McDonald's

I'm not a McDonald's fan personally, but it's close to our apartment and it allows for exercise on rainy days. For that reason we go there a lot, but usually I buy an 89 cent burger as our ticket to the play land (we don't even always eat it). This week as an extra special summer treat I actually ordered 2 happy meals for the four of us to split. How's that for a splurge?

6. MUD!!!

Have I mentioned the rain? Well, even if it isn't rainy you can still see the evidence of the recent weather in the mud that hangs around for the after party. Not to be detoured, I allowed SJ to indulge in the party and her brothers joined in a little too. We got some looks, especially when she ran across the parking lot at our apartment wearing just some dirty underwear and an unzipped hoodie. I was trying to cover her with a towel, but she's quick and it just so happened to be when everyone was getting home from work. Oh well. You're only young once I say. 

Next up father's day festivities and dental appointments. Onward.
