Summer Fun- Week 3 and 4~

I had jury duty for two days this week (you can read about the experience here), and then I had to work Wednesday and Thursday at school.  Can we say not summer vacation this week?  Consequently, I'm behind on a great deal of house things, and I am sad that we didn't do a lot of fun stuff this week.  It was mere survival.  Last week, though, we were able to cross some things off of the list.  Hopefully, July will be a calmer month than June;-)  Here's the update~

1. Fondue for Supper   
2. Swimming Lessons for Rowan and Isla Done!  I love that we have a relationship with the teacher and the home where we take lessons.  My children are loved, and I feel welcomed.  The kids did great, and both of them are much better swimmers than when we started.
3. Nature Camp for Rowan 
4. VBS for Rowan and Isla This starts on July 13.  I'm really starting to pound out some craft preparation.  I'm getting a bit stressed on this one.
5. Swimming at the North Pool  I had in mind that we would go today, but the weather is cloudy and yucky.  We will get there!!
6. Bowling
7. Movie Theater 
8. Going Bonkers We got rained out one day last week for swimming lessons.  We took advantage of the free morning, and we went.
9. Picnic at the Park
10. Smores over the Firepit
11. Sprinkler Fun  x3
12. Travel to Grammy and Poppe's House
13. Summer Reading Program for Rowan and Isla Went to the library again today.  Rowan is almost done, and Isla has a bit more than him.  This will easily be crossed off!
14. Paint Rocks
15. Zoo
16. Gage Park and Train
17. Fishing with Dad  Alex and his parents took the kids fishing at a local pond on Father's Day.  Alex caught a fish, but I believe that was the only success.  
18. Make Ice Cream 
19. Sidewalk Chalk   
20. Make Cookies for Friends
21. Farmer's Market We have baseball right now on Saturday mornings, so we haven't been able to go every Saturday, but we love the market here!  The kids get a treat, face painted, balloon, and we buy fresh produce.  It is fun for all!
22. Discovery Center
23. Baseball for Rowan Underway, and we are having fun!  
24. Fourth of July Fireworks
25. Water Balloon Fight
