Summer Begins

Summer vacation started on Friday, and wanting to have a fun, busy summer, I had Caleb and Sierra help me brainstorm some upcoming activities. We decided to spend the next day visiting a spray park and the library. Spray Parks seem to be popping up all over Frisco. They're a terrific free way for kids to get wet on a hot day, and they're so much easier than going to a swimming pool. I don't have to keep my eyes glued on the kids, or get in the water myself, and we don't even have to shower afterwards. The kids especially loved the bucket that filled with water and dumped all over their heads. We got a huge pile of books at the library and came home for an afternoon of reading. When Ted came home, I asked the kids to tell him what we'd done that day. Sierra said she couldn't remember, and Caleb said "not much." At least I had fun!

Caleb is attending Camp Invention all this week, and so I'm enjoying some time with the girls. We've been going to the park early in the morning before the heat sets in, and today I took them to a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese and hung out at Borders and Pet Smart, where the hit of the day was watching mice hanging upside down as they turned in their exercise wheels.
