Kicking Off Summer

First Day
Our first day of summer break was spent on a Summer Scavenger Hunt as well and time at the lake. I didn't realize that the lake beach had opened back up, but we learned it the day before. After a quick stop off for a short while to play in the sand, the kids talked me into going back because they were having so much fun and were dying to get in the water.

Lego Building
Makin followed instructions to build two lego guitars.




Graduation Parade
Another unique moment brought to you by Covid 19. I can see it now...Lorelei, what did you learn during the Covid 19 crisis...how to perfect my bubble lettering!










Candy to throw to the graduates.


Friends
When I asked the kids to help make a Covid-friendly summer list their top request was PLAYDATES! Most of our friends are being social so it has been a top priority to book up time for friend fun!

Making a movie with Lexi, which involved turning stuffed animals into puppets.

Lake Time
The lake has been extra busy because so many pools are closed! We try to get there at 8 am and by 10 it is too crowded for our taste.










Mini-Golf Outing
We enjoyed a Sunday morning playing some putt putt. Both Brad and Lorelei got a hole-in-one!

Brad's hole-in-one. Can you believe that?!






The Stream
We have enjoyed several trips back to the stream. Once it was after quite a bit of rain and the kids couldn't resist a swim.





Game Time
Another go-to is always games. :) I was really proud of Lorelei for trying chess and Makin is thrilled to have another chess player in the family.



Horseback
Because Lorelei's horseback spring lessons got cut a bit short, we fit in another lesson. I don't really love going when it gets so hot! Makin had been wanting to take as well, so he had his initiation lesson so that he can take as we decide works for him.





Brad's Birthday
Brad had a birthday full of some of his favorite things. He golfed with his cousin Tim in the morning, napped, watched his choice of a movie (at home in his office bc no theater options), played the Wii as a family and then finished out the day watching AFV as a family. Of course, his favorite foods were thrown in, including cake! :)
