June

So far we have kept ourselves pretty busy the first few weeks of summer.  I can't believe June will be over at the end of this week.  Here are some pictures of what we have been up to.

 To kick off the summer on the last day of school we met up with the Lichy Family at a park so the kids could play at a splash pad.  Unfortunately, Natalie decided to take a ride down a hot slide in her bathing suit and ended up burning her bum pretty bad.  We ran off to the Dr.'s office and lucky for my girls they got to stay and hang with Chrissy and her kids.  Natalie, ended up with second degree burns but they healed pretty quick.

 We have been to the library a couple times this summer, our goal is to read a ton, I want my girls to be excellent readers by the end of the summer!

 We have been swimming a bunch with the Lichty family, they are so nice to invite us to go with them to their Grandma's awesome pool.  My girls are becoming pretty good swimmers this summer, it makes time at the pool much more enjoyable! 

 We have been taking advantage of our Wet n' Wild passes and have been a few times since they opened. 

 We took a trip to Boulder City to go bowling for free at their little bowling ally.  We took advantage of the beautiful parks there and had a picnic.

 We of course had to stop at A&W to get some root beer floats.

 We hung out at another park right across from the bowling ally waiting for open bowl to start.

 Finally we got to go bowling and it was pretty fun.  Both the kids and I were pretty darn exhausted by the end of the day.  Me more than them I think, it is not easy having all these kids by myself.

 

 We went to watch the airplanes takeoff and land.

 This was Leila, Auntie Sam and Gracie's dance recital.  All three did so good, it was cute to watch! 

We went to see Monsters University and then had a Monster party with our friends.  It was fun with all of our Monster inspired food and treats. 

We had a few of our friends over all day while their parents were out of town looking for a new home :(  Glad we got to hang out and make some friendship bracelets.  We will miss them when they move at the end of the summer!

 

Zach keeps telling me that I am wearing the kids out but I am pretty sure that is what summer is all about, just using up every bit of every day to have a little fun!!
