August was a blur. Our weather was unbelievably mild but we still hit the pool almost every day. Having older kids definitely adds intensity to summer vacation. There were fewer days of lounging around playing with toys and more days on the move.
Matthew outgrew his bike and passed it down to Lucy. Conrad decided he wanted the bike as well and now they both claim it as their own. I left Matthew outside with Conrad and came back with Matthew pulling him up and down the sidewalk with some rope. What would we do without older brothers? (I love the jammies Conrad is wearing because ALL my kids have warn them for consecutive years)
We spent a rainy afternoon at an indoor bounce house with friends. The kids were absolutely exhausted when we left- perfect!
I can’t admit to how many McDonalds Ice-cream cones my kids ate this summer. It just seemed that the next logical step after an activity was a McDonalds drive-through.
We went to the “Splash Pad and Mini Golf” in Germantown the Friday before school started. The kids had never mini golfed before but enjoyed the experience. Charlie and Matthew where into the shots and angles while Conrad and Lucy just ran around hitting their balls at will. The splash pad was deserted because a storm was moving in. We were able to play for an hour before we ran for cover.
I did a lot of running with some great women. On this occasion we ran to get froyo in celebration of Erin’s birthday.
Nancy was gone for most of the summer so it was complete jubilation when she returned! With our move, we are now up the street from her so we don’t get to see her as much which is sad for everyone. She was kind enough to bring her lawn mower over and mow our little patch of grass, I love kind neighbors.
