This week we got back into the swing of things, as I have started to feel better.
Make it Monday
In the morning we swam with Bridget and Emily.
In the afternoon, we went "old school"
and the boys and I spent hours making Shrinky Dinks!
They designed their own and came up with some great creations.
Take a Trip Tuesday
After a follow-up trip to the doctor for me, we headed to the Carolina Raptor Center.
The boys have had several learning experiences at our local library with the Raptor group, and it was great to finally get up to the center and see all the birds for ourselves.
We spent over an hour walking the trails and seeing all the raptors.
Their favorites were the eagles, owls and vultures.
At the Owl Art Center they created their own raptors
We ended our visit with a picnic and some silly pictures.
Wet and Wild Wednesday
The pouring rain prevented us from any swim today.
Instead, we had a wild day building a new hotwheels track and racing the cars all afternoon.
Think About It Thursday
The morning was spent working on P&F's summer math work.
They each created a number book out of pictures found in magazines.
It took a lot of time but they worked hard and had great finished products -
I know their new teachers will be impressed!
In the afternoon we went to the library. All 3 boys have been enrolled in the summer reading program. They each reached 10 hours of reading and were able to claim their prizes.
Fun with Friends Friday
We met our friends at Cane Creek Park. The kids spent hours wading in the shallow water and building in the sand. When half of our friends left after 2 hours of play, we decided to stay with Meredith and the boys, as they were all still having fun. The boys dug, scooped and dumped to their hearts content. We spent a total of 4 hours at the lake. I have promised them we will go back again before school starts, because it was such a great day.
Weekend Family Fun
Gill took the boys to Home Depot on Saturday for a builders workshop.
On Sunday, we celebrated my birthday.
We went to church with Mom and Dad and then all went out to brunch.
In the afternoon we went over to mom and dad's house to swim at the pool.
It was a great birthday!
Glad you are feeling better. When you said you had mono I thought that might put a halt to your Summer Fun. I should have known that wouldn't keep you down. You have found such fun things to do this summer. I love reading about your fun days.
