Summer Fun - Ant Farm, Urban Air, Solar Oven, Lake Time, Pool Time, The Cove, The Falls

 Ant Farm

This mom is a sucker for some hands-on learning, even in the summer! So, when they asked about an ant farm, I couldn't resist!

Urban Air

Most weeks we try to fit in one special summer activity, and then keep the rest of the week with free fun, with an attempted balance at to-dos. :) One request was Urban Air. They had a great time!

Solar Oven

Ice cream cone s'mores for the win!

Lake Time

While we don't fit this in as much as I would like, I sure enjoy it when we do! We snuck in a nice early morning trip to the lake before the crowds got there. :)

Another morning we made it to the lake (and the zipline park) with the Scotts.

We snuck in a family lake visit before Brad went to work one morning. The kids decided to make drip castles.

Pool

Sheaden and Christi joined us for the pool throughout the summer. Lexi also joined us for pool time some days.

The Cove

This was another special request for this summer. This recently opened up near us and we enjoyed going with the Scott's one day. We bought a 30 day pass so plan to head back a few more times!

Turner Falls

We headed back to enjoy the falls with the Scotts on our last day of summer vacation. 

These pictures are from one of the falls areas. We also went to a second area that has a slide and a diving board going into a natural pond. I was in the water most of the time so it is harder to get pics! :)

We had a great day!
