Let the Summer Activities Begin!

First, we had Cooper's gymnastics showcase. He's a super strong boy with LOTS of energy; with a little more experience and focus he'd be headed for the Olympics!

Celebrating after Cooper's showcase. One of the perks of having both kids in school is the free food reward coupons double and the bill goes down! 

The carousel finally opened Memorial day weekend. My kids had been asking about it since March, so we were all happy the day had finally arrived! Cooper was determined to be the first kid to ride it, so he stood in line for fifteen minutes to ensure first-place status.

Cooper making sure no other children snuck in the other doors. Amelia had a plan, too. She patiently waited until I paid for their rides, then ran PAST Cooper. Sneaky.

Happy to be back on "their" horses. They choose the same ones each time.

Love these kids!

 Along with the all free food coupons was two free buffets at Pizza Pie Cafe, so we celebrated the last day of school be going to dinner there. As always, the food was yummy and the dessert pizzas worth gorging for. We all left happy, uncomfortably full, and ready for some sleepy time!

Next up is a trip to visit Katie and David for a few days! EVERYONE is excited for that. For the rest of the summer we have camping trips, daytrips, biking trips, and a few lazy days thrown in. This will be a summer to remember!!!
