Summer mode has been officially activated! It has been a fun transition to our summer schedule! We are enjoying the slower pace and lots of family time. We’re also in a stretch of nice weather in the PNW, so it really feels like summer. Here’s a brief catch up since I last posted!
During the last week of May, the boys plowed through their year end testing like champs. I was nervous about how long it would take to get through two students this year when I’ve been use to only one. It went smoothly and I was so grateful. Standardized testing is never fun, but it wasn’t as big of a deal as I thought it might be. We wrapped up May with a visit to our dear, sweet GG. The boys packed all their puzzle cubes and Graham bought a water bottle to show off his bottle flipping skills. If you can’t find Graham in the house these days, you can find him on the back deck bottle flipping. We also got to share with GG all the fun we had on our Yellowstone road trip. It was great to catch up with her!
June brought at shift to our lighter school schedule. We are loving the change of pace. We’ve visited the library to pick up our paperwork and free books for the summer reading program. There has been lots of family time as we’ve celebrated a cousin’s birthday, Grandma’s birthday, and Father’s Day. So many reasons to celebrate! The kids attempted to get into our pool last weekend. Owen lasted longer than Graham. The pool is still a bit too chilly for a long swim. Owen enjoyed swimming laps on the top of the pool with his new snorkel. The top layer of water is the warmest and the snorkel is a new novelty. He was in awe of not needing to come up for air!
It’s the start of Father’s Day weekend, but we’ve done a majority of the celebrating already. We had a family meal last weekend to celebrate both Grandma’s birthday and Father’s Day with Grandpa. We had an early Father’s Day outing to Top Golf yesterday to celebrate with our favorite golfer – Jeremy! The boys love going to Top Golf. It was supposed to be Jeremy’s birthday outing in March, but life got in the way. I’m glad we could make it for Father’s Day. Now the rest of weekend looks like time around the house and dinner with friends. Jeremy hasn’t decided what his Father’s Day meal of choice will be on Sunday, so we have a little bit of celebrating still yet to come.
The first half of the month has been adjusting to our new summer schedule and lots of family time. The second half of our month has playdates with friends and more summer activities. It’s such a fun time of year. We are loving summer mode!
