Our Lazy Summer

I hope my kids remember this summer. I know chances are they won't, but I am pretty sure they will never have one just like it again. With as awful as I have felt, we have had plenty of time to just be lazy, ride bikes, play with friends in the neighborhood, and sit under the trees eating pop-cycles. It has been simple yet so what we all needed! To be totally fair, it wasn't all fun and games, just mostly :) We did do chores, read a lot of books (I had to put a time limit on the time sweet Hailey could read:), and even did math worksheets and a few science projects. We hiked to Donut Falls, camped in the backyard, enjoyed family up at East Canyon, roasted marshmallows, played at parks, and had sibling sleepovers. One of our favorites places to be..grandmas! We spent lots of time swimming with cousins...

The two older kids joined a swim team and Easton took swimming lessons. My kids really LOVE to be in the water! They participated in a swim meet, luckily each of the kids won at least 1 gold medal. (I hate it when one of the kids feels bad because of the success of another!)

We braved Lagoon not once but twice, and I took 2 pictures. Nice! (I did puke in a Lagoon toilet. Totally disgusting!) After that Easton and I went to the car and watched movies while I continued to puke in bags and John and the other two kids finished up on the "big kid" rides in the dark. Sweet Easton never complained and just kept saying, "I am so sorry you are sick mommy!" :) Memories!

And we went to the zoo. We loved the new exhibit. My kids could have watched the River Otters, Seals and Sea Lions for hours!

I am not sure that any of us are ready for the school schedule yet, but ready or not, here it comes!
