Summertime...and the living is easy!

So our first official day of summer vacation (yesterday) was a blast!

We got up and went to breakfast at the Waffle House (as per Kate's request!). It was yummy but my kids drank so much chocolate milk that they didn't eat any of their breakfast! (Except Bowen who ate nearly the entire waffle as big as a dinner plate!)

Then we went to Wal Mart and the kids got to pick out new pool towels! I was able to talk two of the three down from the more expensive trademarked character towels, so I was pleased!

When we got home we put on sun screen and swimsuits and went down to the pool for a couple
hours! We had lots of fun and got a little sun kissed!

Once we got home we ate lunch and Bowen went down for a nap. The girls were excited to start on their summer workbooks! So while I did the dishes from lunch and cleaned up the kitchen they did a little work! Kate also practiced her piano! Then we read a couple chapters from our Narnia book!

After Bowen woke up we went to the library and signed up for summer reading! Kate also got her very own library card. She was proud and poor Clair was so sad she couldn't get one. I promised to bring her ON her birthday to get one!

Next we stopped by to see the cousins Alex and Ben. We stayed just for a second cuz Aunt KT had to be somewhere!

Then we went and got some dinner...sushi for mom, teriaky rice and stake bowl for Kate, and McD's for Clair and Bowen! We brought the food home and ate it up (plus some ice cream)and then took baths and read some more Narnia and a few of our new books from the library!

It was a great day!
