Summer Fun

These last couple weeks have been filled with all sorts of fun, summer activities. I unfortunately had to work last weekend, but in-between work and sleeping, we did all sorts of fun things.

We went swimming at Terrace Park last weekend. Emma really enjoyed that, and we even had Elliott in the pool. He was happy enough to be sitting and splashing around in the water.

Emma has also had swimming lessons for the last two weeks. She had a really fun time with her lessons. She also gained some great confidence around the water. At the beginning of the class she would not jump into the pool or go down the slide. But now, she will jump in holding onto someone's hands and go down the slides multiple times. It was really cool to see her progress throughout the two weeks. And best news of all, she passed, and she can move up a level for next summer!!

There have been some gorgeous evenings lately, so we have taken advantage of that, and gone to parks and spent a lot of evenings outside playing. I definitely love summer time.

Today has been a pretty fun day so far. We started the day off by going to the Farmer's Market and doing some shopping. Then we let Emma play on the playground set while Elliott watched. We also went and walked around Falls Park. Emma enjoyed climbing on all the rocks and looking at the waterfalls.

We ate lunch at the Sand Bar Grill and Bar with Barb and now the kids are taking some much-needed naps. It was such a fun morning!

We also have plans to do some harvesting in our garden. We have snow peas, green peppers, and cilantro that is all ready to be picked. Our garden has been doing really good this year, we are excited to have some fresh veggies to eat.

Not sure what we have going on for the rest of the weekend, but I'm sure it will involve lots of family time :)
