Summer vacation is officially over. We will miss those long, lazy summer days but at the same time we are glad to be getting back to our normal routine. We did have some good times this summer and I would like to take a moment to highlight five of the things that made this summer awesome.
#1-
movie time. The kids have gotten to the age where we can take them to the movies to see something other than cartoons. We saw a couple of movies this summer including Inside Out, Jurassic Park, Minions, and Ant Man. We are already eyeballing a couple of movies that we want to see later on this year (Star Wars).
#2-
summer reading program. Olivia and Owen participated in the library's summer reading program again this year. They read books on a weekly basis and received little prizes for their efforts. We also attended two programs at the library. Their favorite was the guy who made balloon animals.
#3-
kittens. The kids have been enamored with the kittens ever since they were born back in the spring. We were able to find a home for the two female kittens, but we are still in possession of the males. These kittens offered hours of entertainment for Olivia and Owen this summer.
#4-
playdates. Olivia had several playdates with her friend Hannah this summer. Those girls get along very well together. The two of them choreographed a dance to Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off"- a dance which I have seen a trillion times this summer.
#6-
fort building. The kids have perfected their fort-building skills. Toward the end of the summer we had a fort going up in the living room on a daily basis. I made them disassemble it every night, but the kids were not deterred. Each day the fort got bigger and more elaborate than the day before. The final version had its own flag and various rooms.
We will definitely miss summer, but we are looking forward to football and cooler weather.
