Wow, did we have spring this year? It feels like we have gone from a very cold winter to a hot summer overnight. Although with summer upon us is the best time for family get-togethers and my favorite outside barbeques! We have been having a great time so far this season and enjoyed many friends and family. The kids have enjoyed playing with cousins and cry when it is time to leave asking when they get to play again. What a blessing to have family so close available and those from out of town visiting. The countdown to fireworks began a few weeks ago but has been a great distraction and closer target than our upcoming family vacation.
The kids have enjoyed our backyard for the first time now that it is fully fenced in and they can run to their hearts content. Favorite activity out back is the trampoline and only gets better when you add the sprinkler underneath or fill up water balloons playing hot potato and trying not to pop them. They now understand that going outside is being covered up with sunscreen and now accept it and don’t put up a fight. I keep telling them that someday they will thank us for it.As for Brian and I we are still busy working as usual and also counting down the weeks and days for our family vacation. It is going to be a great escape from our normal routines and to share it with the kids. This will of course also give me another subject to write on in our family blog and of course more pictures.
Hope everyone is enjoying his or her summer break, get-togethers, weather, and vacations!
