A nap-proof summer

Hello again,

We took full advantage of this past summer and played our hearts out! The kids were virtually nap proof on the weekends! Which meant that they did they're regular naps during the week at daycare, then we played all day on Saturday and Sunday. *Confession, it did take us a little longer to figure this out. But after trying on several occasions to put two kids down in a one room cabin for an 1 and 1/2 hours we finally caught on:-)

We had completed our big task, painting our house, before summer started. So we were ready to play. We had a few planned events and then left the rest up to the stir of the moment. Which lead to lots of camping, fishing, bonfires, boat rides, swimming, tubing and horseback riding. The kids have really loved fishing and each have their own tackle box. They have on several occasions sat down to 'trade' tackle, thanks to Uncle Chris for all the tackle:-)

At the beginning of the summer, I was aware that this summer was moment in time that I would remember. Knowing that just around the corner was that there was a big change, the start of school for both kids. I think we all achieved living as kids in a nap-proof summer:-)
