summer fun


A few weeks ago I saw down and made my summer bucket list. I felt like last year we missed out on a lot of the things I wanted us to do. Time just seemed to fly.

So this year I am ready.


We have been doing a great job already at doing things. The zoo and aquarium may not happen since they are a fair distance away but I would really love to go so fingers crossed we make it happen!

So far we have been to the splash pad numerous times, berry picking and to the beach. Mav went berry picking last year and had a blast so I figured this year would be tons of fun and foolishly thought we would pick two full baskets. Well "I" picked two baskets and Mav probably ate a whole other baskets worth while I picked. Luckily they don't weigh you on your way in.                                        


                                               

The beach was tons of fun. I had no idea what to expect, I had a vision of it being a total disaster and waste of time but Mav loved it. He played in the sand and actually swam in the water. We have a puddle jumper for him and he is comfortable enough with it to try swimming on his own. Fully supervised of course. We packed a little lite lunch and then headed home after for naps. Everyone was exhausted.
  
                                              

Canada Day was also fun filled. We didn't do anything on the list but we did spent the first half of the day swimming in a family member's pool. Mav even jumped off the diving board! Only once because he quickly realized it meant his head going underwater and he is not ok with that. He did swim on his own again and jump off the side lots. We had tons of fun swimming with all the cousins, the festivities were over at nap time and spent the rest of the day/eve relaxing at home. 
                                     


This week should be filled with lots of fun adventures as well. I'm taking the boys to grandma's house for a few nights, we will be visiting friends and hopefully spending lots of time outside. 

In only a few short months I will be heading back to work, this summer is flying by already!

Sounds like a ton of fun! I am not nearly as ambitious with my plans.. We go to the park everyday and that's about it. In a few weeks we will take Abi's first hour plus car ride to my cousins wedding, but that's it. I'm so boring! LOL
