Posts all over the blog-o-sphere are lighting up with the excitement of summer! Never one to miss out on a party – can I just say – I AM SO EXCITED FOR SUMMER!
This summer my friends, is going to be one beyond compare. Why? Let me give you two very good reasons:
Will and Walker
Now you might be wondering: “Shell, how that is any different that than the last four years?”
Well, I’m so glad you asked! Let me tell you:
Will is into bugs. Walker wants to go fishing. Both boys are down right thrilled to get dirty. Bottom line: my kids are turning into full-fledged little boys! Full of wonder, exploration, and desire for adventure! Yeah!
So what are we doing this summer? We kicked it off on Sunday with our very first backyard BBQ. Papa, KK, and Goosey came out to ring in the summer with good food and our new summer dining ware! From here it’s only going to get busier better!
* This weekend we are going camping with Lyndsy and Jon. I cannot wait.
* In ten days Grandma Steph, Ali and Victoria visit for a whirlwind three days of unbelievable fun (including the trip to Santa Barbara for our annual Solstice Day parade).
* Hiking, biking, and triathloning. (You have to say it for effect.)
* National Backyard Campout Weekend
* Summer Reading Clubs and REI Hiking Club
* A new playgroup circle with new friends to meet.
* An August visit from the BFF and her kiddos.
And mostly just having two boys who jump in full force to explore the summer. I took some time to make an advent”ure” calendar for us based off an idea I got from Cocoa HERE.
Eric and I are going to take some time filling it up with small adventures that can be done on days when we are bored. Things like: building an indoor fort, making juice smoothies, running through sprinklers. Simple things that they can select and that I can follow through on!
So what are your plans for the summertime? What’s getting you excited for the next few months?
