I’ve always loved the idea of summer…

Just imagine how much cooler I’ll be in summer!

Okay, sorry. That Olaf song has been stuck in my head for two days.

It IS finally summer, after all! We are thoroughly enjoying it!

We took a family trip to walk around the temple, take pictures, talk, and enjoy the gorgeous day. We stopped for ice cream at the Ice Creamery on the way home.

Aiden is taking swim lessons for the first time at the Aquatic Center in Newark. He likes them so far, but he doesn’t like being cold after he gets out and we head home.

It has been pretty warm but not sweltering, hovering around 80 for a few days. We have spent time keeping cool in our wading pool in the yard, a friend’s pool, and under the fans in our house. Aiden likes showing off his “swimming skills” in the tub too. LOVE these wrinkly baby feet…

What else have we been doing? The boys and I have been settling into a nice routine of swim lessons in the morning, walking a few miles through the neighborhood and around the Lake, tackling projects like (re)sorting boy clothes, “homework” (Preschool skills like tracing, coloring, counting, shape recognition, letters, etc.), and house projects.

This is the face of “why am I not eating right now?” I get this face from him a LOT. Landon LOVES to eat.

Filling up the green bin every week as we start to work on our yard… and what teacher doesn’t work on curriculum over the break?

We have some fun things planned this summer and are relishing the little moments every day. Happy summer break, everyone!
