With limited options for fun in Amarillo, we decided to make our summer fun all by ourselves! So we made a "Summer Fun" bucket, and every morning the kids took turns picking something out of the jar. Then we also had two learning jars that they picked from every day, one for Sissy, with letters, and one for Jaden with words. And of course, some delicious summery jelly beans :)
this day they picked blow bubbles out of the jar
she is such a little cutie pie, i love her expression in this one!
another day we made root beer float popsicles...
most summer fun activities were accompanied with swimming in our little backyard pool, and playing in the yard. Sissy's favorite part was always hunting for lady bugs, which were almost always named "Lade"
one day we had a tea party for lunch
not a pick from the summer fun bucket, but still fun... we got to babysit a cute little baby girl from our ward. the kids thought it was so fun!
they were about done just as she was ready to take a nap, so we did a little painting
we made whole wheat flour peanut butter cookies! They were SOOO yum!
Obviously we always picked out of the jar in the morning before we did anything else, and so they still look sleepy & have jammies on!
Part 2 (iPhone style) of our Amarillo summer fun coming next!
