Summer Wrap Up

This past week I tried to do several summer activities as the school year is right around the corner. On Monday night we went as a family to the Meridian Pool. This is the first time we have gone there this year. It was pretty fun. It was kind of cold. The public pools around here have terrible hours. It's really annoying. We went at 7:00  and it just wasn't super hot or sunny so it was pretty cold. The kids didn't seem to mind. I talked Corbin into trying the high dive. He is super brave. He went right off and then wouldn't stop.

A brand new park was built really close to our house that has some really fun features and a splash pad. I took the kids there during the week and we went as a whole family on Saturday night. We also went and got $.50 cones from Arctic Circle one night and went and ate them at a park.

On Friday Scott and I went on a date. It's been forever! It was super fun. Scott planned it all out and he did such a good job. We went to Olive Garden and luckily we went so early we went right in. After that we headed downtown and biked the greenbelt. I LOVED it! I love biking the greenbelt downtown but we haven't even tried since Corbin was a baby I think. The weather was perfect and it was beautiful. We even discovered some fun lakes along the way that we didn't know about. One of them had docks and boat rentals. We will have to come back with the kids someday. It was super fun. Loved it. After that he picked out the movie at Redbox and it was The Book Thief. So good! It was a really fun date. Now that Ryan is a bit older we are going to make more efforts to go out for sure.

This week: operation squeeze in every last bit of summer as possible!

Corbin is such a climber!

The girls spent most of the time at the splash park picking "flowers" (clover).

Cute!

Some dude had his parrot at the park.

Ha. We washed our duvet cover and it is quite the process getting it back on.

One night Corbin and Gabby were not cleaning their room but Piper did her jobs so I took her to get an ice cream cone all by herself. She loved it!

A package arrived and the box has provided lots of entertainment.
