Summer Adventures!

Some people pace out all the summer adventures to enjoy all summer. Some people like to see how many summer activities they can cram into 10 days. We fall into the later category apparently. 

SO over the past 10 days, we have done VBS, gone to the beach, played in pools, went to a baseball game, played outside ALLOT, visited with neighbors, slept little, and really had a great week and a half. OH, I also got to deal with the glucose tolerance tests over that week and a half too - is there really ever a "good" time to do those tests???

I am very thankful to have a quieter week. Honestly, Lydia enjoyed every single event but she is also really enjoying quiet time to play in the basement, cuddle, and read books this week! 

Baseball game. I am skeptical that Lydia realized there was a game going on but Skittles were very tasty. And meeting all of Dad's co-workers was fun (i.e. being admired and played with for several hours by all the people around us!). 

We also made it to the beach. After our whirlwind week we seriously considered cancelling the trip and having a quiet couple days at home but it was great to get away and enjoy the beach :) Lydia is already talking about when she can go back and stay for many many nights! She is such an easy traveler now that we may schedule another weekend beach trip before the summer is over. 

After bouncing between the pool and the beach over and over for 3 or 4 hours, we all took great naps. And Lydia took a fantastic nap! A sleeping picture of Lydia I did not even know that was possible!!!!! 

Power food for the beach! 

Apparently the Kindle without Internet, is very frustrating. Lydia was literally pulling her hair out in the backseat saying "Kindle is not working right". The woes of technology... I am sure in the future she will lament to her own children how she used to not have Internet in the car ;)
