Best summer memories

We have had such a fantastic summer so far. Here are some of our best summer moments:

*Cousin sleepovers, and riding in the jeep
*All the kids (but Lizzie) sleeping in past 9AM!
*Having "readthons" in mom & dad's big bed
*Hiking in the canyon
*Learning to cook, the kids have been taking turns learning a new recipe, usually a desert!
*Spending lazy afternoons playing games like "Life", "Uno" and "Phase 10"
*Eating several popsicles every day, and having sticky fingers and faces afterwards.
*Taylor asking to take a nap!  He slept for two hours, he was wiped out from all the late nights from the 4th of July!
*Swimming with friends and cousins
*Summer thunderstorms with cooler weather

*Lizzie learning to hold her toys and having fun exploring her exersaucer.


The best part about this summer is having NO schedule.  I haven't signed the kids up for any lessons, camps, activities etc... and it has been great.  We wake up when we want, have a lazy breakfast followed by chores, reading, workbooks etc... and then spend the day as we want.  The kids are so content to stay home and play with their friends, and I am more relaxed about not having to get out the door anywhere in the mornings! It's been wonderful!
Here's to having no schedules! 

Hope your summer is going great!
