Sweet Summer Fun: a series in the making

Summer is underway! Ian has camp on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays. Sam has camp on Monday and Wednesdays. I've kept Thursday and Fridays free each week to wing it. To have the freedom to embark on various adventures and enjoy all that summer has to offer.

The first in this series actually started Thursday, June 3rd at the house of a great mommy friend, Jen. Her son Ethan and Ian are "twins". That's how the boys describe their relationship. They are like two peas in a pod and have great fun together. When Ethan is over our house to play, it is like having one less kid.

Jen bought this water slide that seriously could make an appearance in a water park. It is HUGE! She planned an awesome water playdate and the kids had a fantastic time playing all morning. This is what Summer is all about!!

Ian had his 5 year doctor's appointment right before we were due at Ethan's house. He received a shot and a TB test. Playing with his some of his favorite friends on the water slide did wonders for Ian to forget what just happened 30 minutes prior.

I am excited about the events and places we have planned on our Thursday and Fridays. While it would be easy to put the kids in camp each day of the week, I don't want the summer to be spent like that. I want to have fun with the kids and enjoy getting out there creating great memories for us to look back on. There is no place off limits on where we will attempt to go. If it turns into a bad idea, then I know not to go back. But even the bad ideas can be a fun adventure when you do it with the best mommy friends that ever existed.

Stay tuned for the next in the series: Strawberry picking
