Summer Fun!

I feel like I haven't blogged in awhile! Well that is because I haven't. We have been busy! Here are a few of the things we have done this summer that I actually have pictures of! I have been so bad about having my camera on hand! Most are taken from our phones!

We went to a Water Park with our good friends Ayden and Zoe.

Best Buds...

And since one time when we got together for a park day we went to McDonald's for lunch, now the kids ALWAYS want to go to McDonald's when we meet! So off we went!

We made some fun summer treats...Frozen Bananas!

I am a big frozen banana connoisseur and these were delish!

The boys loved them too!

Craig and the boys painted little wooden cars and street signs...

It was Jake's first time painting!

James had fun playing with them after they were painted...

Jake on the other hand did not...

It was a little windy and his stop sign kept blowing over, he didn't understand why. :(

James went to Vacation Bible Study Day Camp at the church where his school is for a week and he had a great time! He was SO excited when he found out he was going and some of his friends from school would be there! It was a nice break in the summer for all of us! Jake got some alone time with the toys and I didn't have to keep two kids preoccupied!

They did crafts every day and this was our favorite one! They made a cross out of clay and then put sea shells in it! We had to let it dry on the counter over night and the next day James picked it up and dropped it! He was SO devastated and so was I! I have never seen him so sad! He was bawling! So we went and got stuff to make a new one. :)

He was sad camp was over and can not wait to go back to school!

We went and stayed the night at Nonna and Gramp's house for a mini vacation. We went down and took the boys to the beach and then Nonna and Grampy babysat while we went out to dinner for our 6th Anniversary! Then we got up the next morning and went to the beach again! So fun being so close to the beach! James is making such a big difference in his willingness to go in the water. That is all he wants to do! James always wants to get his feet buried, but never his whole body. This time he did! And of course then Jake wanted to as well!

A few times we have eaten dinner early and then headed out to the park to tire the boys out before bed, or if it has been a day of no running around just to give us something to do! :) We all think this is a great idea!

So far we have had a fun filled summer with family and friends!
