Summer Fun

We may not have done everything I originally planned this summer, but that doesn't mean we didn't have loads of fun.

Our summer started off with out local Community Day. There was a wall to climb, bounce houses, and if you ask GG, an epic balloon sword fight in the middle of the field.

I think Little Dude's favorite part was getting his hair done.




A few weeks after that we made our way to a local amusement part. GG was so excited to be tall enough to ride every single thing. While Little Dude wasn't quite tall enough for everything, he was ecstatic that he didn't have to go to Kiddie Land.

Last year this park added a new roller coaster. With SnoMaggedon the previous winter, the coaster building schedule was pushed back. We had to wait until this summer to finally ride the new Sky Rocket. It's a short ride, but exhilarating! Plus you can catch an awesome sunset through the tracks.




For the first time in a few years, we failed to get pool passes. But that didn't stop me from taking the kids to the pool. Little Dude is growing up (tear) because he stayed in the big pool with me and his sister.

Except when one of the lifeguards would start an epic water battle!





I think if you to ask my kids what their favorite part of the summer was, they would most likely say our vacation to DC. GG barely remembers going on vacation when she was little and Little Dude has never been on a vacation. The out of state trip when he was 4 weeks old doesn't count.

I have so many pictures from our trip, but some of my favorite include pizza slices as big as a 6 year old's head





and unexpectedly running into Bumblebee outside of the National Zoo.




Our summer vacation is coming to a close in a few weeks. The kids and I still have one more trip coming up to our own zoo. Even though what we actually did differed from the list I made at the beginning of the year, I'd say we had a kick ass summer!

Our vacation was a bust...my kids got stuck in a house that week. Hopefully we can try it again next year. Looks like a great summer at your house.

That is a huge pizza slice!!

I'm sure Little Dude was ecstatic over running into Bumblebee. I know Buddy would be over the moon!

With that kind of do? I'd say he had his hair "did"! Ha!

Can you buy that pizza by the slice? If not, I cannot imagine how large a whole pizza would be.

Awesome hair! My sister always warned us not to eat anything as big as your head, but pizza slices and ice cream sundaes must be an exception, right? : )

So much fun! I love the photos and the little slices of summer that you shared.

*Sigh* It's not really almost over, is it?!
