It has been HOT and we are loving every single minute of it! We live down the street from a great little lake with a nice sandy beach that we go to all the time and it is shallow enough that I feel safe bringing all the kids by myself. The only downside is it is also shallow enough to warm the water up fast and swimmer's itch is a problem. The 3 oldest kids all got it last week, not fun. We just need to be better about toweling off when we get out of the water next time because I will NOT stop going to the beach while these 80 and 90 degree days are here. Oh I live for this. The long 9 months of winter are worth the 4 weeks of summer. (OK maybe those numbers are a little off, but you get the idea.)
When we are not at the beach we are out in the yard just enjoying the sunshine. The kids love making up games and filling up the big plastic tub we have to cool off in. We also did vacation Bible school last week, that was fun.
Dan parents came to visit last weekend and we drove out to Lake Michigan and hung out at the beach and walked around the cute little town.
We only have 4 weeks until school starts! I can't believe how fast this summer has gone. So, I am going back to enjoying it, have a great weekend everybody.
