I love this time of year when it is hot out and the kids can play in the water outside. We have enjoyed spending time at Dolphin's Cover water park at Prairie Athletic club this summer to cool off. The coupon marketing worked because it is something we could see ourselves investing in every summer. Today we spent a bit of time at home playing in the water and with the water.
The kids are fighting over the hose in between sliding down the slide into the little pool. In a few weeks we will have our bigger pool blown up as we celebrate C's 6th birthday with her friends here. The pool has a small leak in it, so we thought we would wait to pull it out until her birthday party.
The summer is flying by! The kids have been enjoying their weekly swim lessons. C is in ballet for a few weeks this summer at PAC. She and I will start gymnastics there for 5 weeks beginning the end of July. B and C just started summer piano lessons with their school music teacher and have enjoyed going to her house while I run errands.
Justin and B went to Devil's Lake today to volunteer at a race Justin's dad was in today. It sounds like they were kept busy handing out water and gatorade to the runners. B was also handing out licorice as people passed by.
B just started reading Harry Potter. He asked to have something a little more challenging to read this summer and he thought Harry Potter would be a nice read. He is a few pages into it and is already liking the fact that he is reading a "big kid" book. At age 7, he enjoys his reading and writing in his journal. He is very grownup.
The nice hot sun will soon be gone and the cool breeze of fall will be upon us. We are trying to cherish these days as all too soon the kids will be grown up and off with their friends.
