What do you do on a hot summer day to make a play date extra fun!?!?
You have a friend who calls and offers their 550+acre property on the Canadian River as an option to go play and picnic at for the day!
Thanks, friends!
Here are the kids loaded in the back of the gator as we take off on our fun adventure.
Our boys haven't been to a beach, and other than the icky foamy stuff, this was pretty darn awesome and a fun alternative to expensive travels!
Sand castles
I was able to do the Junior Golf shift and had a fun time playing the 5 holes with the boys!
Our family went to the Beacon Drive-In to see the movie Turbo.
Excellent movie.
Excellent evening.
We were a bit worried with how Reid would handle being still, quiet and awake for so long, but he was amazing. It was a fun memory!
Grant's friend had a birthday party at a local gym, and at the end, the ice cream truck surprised everyone! So fun.
We went to a local peach orchard and picked peaches! We had a 5 gallon bucket, "picker stick" thingy (you can tell how technical I am on the subject), GG, and the Ramseys with us! Kyle wasn't supposed to climb the trees, and I did make him get down .... after a cute picture!
Cute picture of Addie and Reid that Kristy sent me
AND, maybe the best news of all week, is that SETH, otherwise known as Jason's ex, came to visit and spent two nights with us! He was Jason's roommate at OSU, my friend (!), and in our wedding party. Excellent to see him and for the biggest boys to get caught back up on life. We missed his wife and two boys - but next time! We already have your football visit on our calendar, Darci!!! (Seth said you read this - I miss your blogging!)
I had seen "Inflatable slip-n-slide" advertised several months ago for today at the OSU Student Union. Why not take advantage of the perfect weather and healthy kids to enjoy some time on campus!?!
We hit the waterslide, where I made the big boys leave after an hour to avoid getting a parking ticket for staying too long. They had a blast Reid, however, did not have an interest in getting wet, and sat by me in the shade for most of the time.
We ended with a walk through the OSU Library Lawn, which is looking spectacular, especially for the end of July. The flowers are fabulous this year. Lunch at the classic Coney Island.
Reid has been in to golf lately. He was helping Jason with yardwork and joined in with his club and his "golf cart."
Only a few more weeks of summertime fun with these sweet treasures.... tear. tear.
