What We've Been Up To

Once again I've neglected this poor blog, we've just been having such a great time up here! We finished up school(more like just decided we were done one day) at the end of June. I found some fun super hero workbooks at Sams Club that the kids have sorta been doing during the summer...ya not really....but it's the thought that counts, right??! We've settled into a bit of a laid back summer routine. The kids get up and have kindle time, then breakfast, get dressed play usually outside. They've made friends with a 9 year old girl Lilly and 4 year old Woody. They like to play together a lot! Then I read from a chapter book while they eat lunch, then it's quiet time in their room, sometimes I let them watch tv or play the Wii but usually they just play and chill and look at books. Then we usually try to hit up the pool until dinner time, then it's do whatever til bedtime! And that's our life right now. The KOA does free s'mores each weekend, they do breakfasts and dinners, soda floats, cotton candy and ice cream socials and our kids LOVE the kids crafts! They've made a cowboy hat, a wind chime and a bird feeder so far. They've done a movie night with popcorn which was fun. This is the best campground I have EVER stayed at! We are really gonna miss it here, but it has been the best place to spend our summer!

I'll let the pics tell the rest!

LOTS OF SWIMMING!!! :)



















Gorgeous sunsets!





Livin' life!



 This is how Devin insists the magnets go....gotta love Autism!
 Look at what we found behind the Safeway!!
 One of the kids' chores is the dishes...I love that she can do them by herself now!
 Joe Cool

 One of Shadow's favorite places to chill.




 I think she's trying to tell me something...
 We spent a weekend in June at my parents' house, when their rooms where still intact....this is what we found both nights after putting them to bed in their own rooms......I don't think they mind sharing a room much. ;)
 Why Lizzy is asleep in a tote in her room and not in her bed is a mystery.
 Lizzy had to take a picture of Olive sittin' on the couch.
 Devin still just helps with dishes.


 Doing workbooks!! (no it's not a patriotic holiday they just both chose to wear those outfits)
 Reading
Watching American Ninja Warrior
 Playing with Legos




And there you go! We've had both our parents come up and stay long weekends, I'll post about them separately.
