- Swimming lessons--Big Boy did awesome. They thought he should have been in a couple of classes higher. I'm so proud of him. Watch out Michael Phelps.
- Camping with my family--Postponed till Labor Day weekend, but we had a great time. I had so much fun.
- Camping on the coast--This was great. We got to see my sister and she finally got to meet both of the kids. Our small group bonded and it was a great break from the 110 degree summer temps.
- Spending time with Grandma--We spent a week with her in Aug and the kids got to experience real country life. It was great.
- Picking blackberries--We made tons of jam, syrup, and still had lots to freeze for later. That's the real taste of summer for me.
- Visiting the farmer's market--We didn't make it as often as I would have liked, but the few trips were fun nonetheless. Hoping to visit a few more times before they close for the season.
- Checking out the water feature at the local park--This closed sooner than I thought so we only made it there twice, but both the kids loved it. I can't wait to utilize that resource more next summer.
- Go to the pool a lot--We used it 4-5 times a week. Big Boy was swimming across the width of the pool without a life jacket by the end of the summer.
- Visit Turtle Bay-- We did go there quite a bit, but not as much as I hoped. It was just too hot and the indoor exhibit wasn't child appropriate this summer. I'm ready for the new exhibits to start at the end of the month.
- Go Kayaking at Wiskeytown-- Didn't make it again this summer. We really do have to make this a date night next summer. I really want to do this.
So how did your summer go? What did you accomplish? Did you have fun? Have any reviews?
