End of the Summer Activities

Because I'm so behind- I am going to lump all our end of Summer festivities together. Here's what the last weeks of our 2014 Summer consisted of:

August 12th- Is this Pool ever open?
We joined a group of friends at the Memorial Park Pool today for a short swim. If there's ever any kind of bad weather close by or in the distance, they kick everyone out of the pool. And have to wait at least 30 minutes before they will open back up. I seriously don't know why they built an outdoor facility there. It open for a month or so for part of each day except of course unless there's a cloud in the sky. ;) The kids did enjoy the little time they did have with their friends.

August 19th- Kayak Fun
We ended up buying kayaks for the kids but then the weather turned bad & we have been out of town. We haven't got to use them. So when the weather looked good this week, we ran out to the lake for a little kayak fun. The water was kind of chilly but the kids loved them!!!

Wednesday mornings- Summer Movie
At the beginning of the Summer, we bought movie passes for Wednesday mornings. It's been fun to go on a little date each week with the kids.

August 20th- Trampoline Get-Together
We took the opportunity to have a couple friends over to enjoy our trampoline. And riding the go-kart just always seems to happen as well.

August 22nd- Barefoot Sandals
Whenever the girls go play at the Paynes- they end up coming home with some amazing Pinterest crafty thing. Allie is amazing that way! Here's what they came home with today! Super cute!

August 23rd- Liberty's Babysitting & 1800s Party
Liberty had the opportunity to do a zillion babysitting jobs the week before school started. She babysat twice for the Stovalls, twice for the Schoenfields & an overnighter for the Smiths (she had a partner in crime for this one- her friend Mikal). She rocks!!! To reward herself for a long week, we let her go to a Mikayla's 1800s birthday party at their lake cabin. Liberty got there late so most of them had changed out of their costumes but they changed back into them just for her. Such sweet girls!

August 23- Mud Puddles
It rained a lot and pretty much flooded our front and driveway. They kids had a blast!!! BUTT they got a little muddy! LOL

August 24th- Gavin's Movie Party
The Andersens had us over for Gavin's birthday party. They wanted to do a movie on the projector in the back yard but it rained!!! Grrr! But they did adorable treats bags and showed a movie in their playroom. We had a blast!

August 26th- Popcorn Circus
Since Gavin's Party, Liberty has been asking to make "Skinny Popcorn" all the time! They pop it and then spend an hour throwing popcorn in the air and trying to catch it. It's like a circus around here! ;)

Fun Summer Memories!!
