Summer Break 2018 - Week 4

This week we had swimming lessons in the morning and animal wonders camp in the afternoon.  In between most days we fit in an activity and lunch.

"Make it" Monday -  We went to Michaels to make a fun bear planter craft.  Then went to Panda express for lunch.

"Take a trip" Tuesday - we played at Harris park which is right next to swimming and had a picnic lunch.

"Wet and wild" Wednesday - it didn't happen!  After swim lessons the kids were cold and didn't want to do any more water things so we headed home and they had some relax time with the tv.  In the evening Noah had his taekwondo promotion!

"Thinking" Thursday -  We stopped at the library to exchange our book on cd.  Kids weren't ready to exchange their books because we just got them so it was a quick visit.  Then we stopped at best buy to pick up Minecraft on Nintendo switch for Noah.  He used a gift card for it and he's very excited.  We had lunch at McAlister's because it was free tea day!  Noah loves sweet tea, K hates it.

"Fun Friday"- We skipped swimming lessons because it was only 68 out.  The last 2 days the kids were so cold so I gave them a little break.  Because we have been go go go all week we just had a relaxing morning until camp.  We went out for a family dinner to one of J and the kids favorite restaurants Buffalo Wild Wings.

Summer Break 2018 - Week 3

This is the first week that we didn't have a camp so on weeks like this I'm trying to follow some sort of routine. 
Make it monday, take a trip tuesday, wet and wild wednesday, thinking thursday, and fun friday.

Make it Monday- we ran a few errands in the morning and got our grocery delivery.  Then in the afternoon we started a 550 piece puzzle.  The kids were reluctant at first but have really been enjoying working on it all week.

Take a trip Tuesday- we took Kacy to get groomed early and picked up McDonald's breakfast.  Then we headed over to a friends for a play date until we had to pick up Kacy.  Then the kids had their 6 year doctor appointment.  Noah is 4ft tall 86% and 47 lbs 54%, K is 3'10.5" 67% and 45lbs 47%.

Wet and wild Wednesday - we took a trip with friends to the new splash park in Lee's summit!  I took Kacy with us and we all had a great time. 

Thinking Thursday - we had to stay home and get some cleaning done.  As part of thinking thursday we had reading time, worked on our first grade workbooks and finished the puzzle we started earlier this week.  Noah helped a lot with cleaning to earn a good behavior note from me for his taekwondo promotion coming up.

Fun Friday -  Anything goes on Fridays.  We went to Michaels to make slime and we went to the library to watch "Peanut Butter Hamster" and check out new books!  Last but not least we had family movie night.  Watched The Greatest Showman and had popcorn.

Summer Break 2018 - Week 2

The kids were at zoo camp this week.  They did so much at camp.  They got to pet lots of animals including a millipede, snake, sting rays, and chinchilla.  They rode the train, tram, and carousel.  They saw the bird show and the sea lion show.  They played water games and did arts and crafts.  And of course, they learned a ton about animals and toured the entire zoo.  They cried on the way home on Friday because they were going to miss their friends they had made.
