I have not found the time to regularly blog since we returned from this year's European adventure in mid July, my attempts at a routine have been interrupted by other obligations and spending time with the grandchildren ... and now here we are already celebrating/ embracing the last long weekend of Summer!
Tuesday five of the grandchildren will be going back to school and another one will be going to school for the first time on Wednesday.
The other two are still too young!
This past week, I tried to give some of the grandchildren one last blast of "Summer Fun" ...
... We hiked on the trails exploring hidden pathways along the stream in Participark and climbed the rugged hill into town
... We hiked the path and roads that circle the local lake.
... We spent many afternoons at the Water Park for some splish-splashing and Grandpa joined us.
... I gave them the tools ... paint, brushes,canvases and paper to be creative.
... We baked banana bread and corn muffins, and they all helped preparing the meals
... They made their own version of "DQ" sundaes ...from French vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, sprinkles, smarties, cookies'n'cream chocolate bar, homemade chocolate chip cookies
... We spent a "Buzy Bee" afternoon at the Clovermead Adventure Farm ... Riding go-carts, cooling off in the Mist Maze and zip lining plus much more!
Played in the sand piles ...
Wishing everyone a great weekend of "Summer Fun"!
