Summer Fun!

We are having some great adventures this summer! Going to the pool a lot. The girls were on Firebrook swim team and that was a new and exciting time. They loved it. Swimming every day and swim meets on Wednesdays. It was a very good thing for the girls.
We also spend most every day with my sisters kids. I have been keeping them for her this year. That is a lot of fun for all 7 kids. We sometimes go on adventures during the day or just spend the day at a pool of some sort.
Jonathan and i didn't get to go to his sisters this year, we are trying to not spend money we don't have, i am sure everyone who reads this understands that statement. It was a very hard decision to make. However we did go camping in NC for two nights. We had a blast. the kids got to swim in some amazing waterfalls, and we had some great roasted marshmallows. The funniest thing was Jon running around the outside of the tent in the middle of the night chasing away raccoons.
I also just finished spending the weekend with my friend KATY! I just love her so much! It is easy to be with her, because we just fall back into our giggly stage. And we don't have to be doing anything major to enjoy each others company.
I love summer! It is the best time of my entire year. I get to spend precious moments with my kids, snuggle with them in the mornings, give them my undivided attention and I am not exhausted all the time. I am not ready for school to start at all!!! Bring on the lake, the pool, the park, some picnics, lemonade, kool aide, ice cream, and sunshine!!!!
