Summer Fun

So this is what we do in the Summertime. Slip and sliding, making things and playing on cushions. We seem to keep ourselves pretty busy by going to the waterpark and library but, sometimes it feels so nice to just stay home.

Jayden is definately an outdoor boy. He could spend all day outside if we let him. It is so nice that he just can be outside playing by himself for hours.

Elise is getting used to the outdoors and is having so much fun this Summer. She doesn't enjoy the heat so much, but she loves the water.

Dallin is our science boy. He is always thinking of an experiment or of something that he can make. It is amazing to see the things that he makes.

For a while I have been saving toilet paper rolls. I decided that why throw something away that can be used for so many things. Toilet paper rolls can be used as telescopes, handcuffs (Dallin did this once by cutting them in half and taping them around wrists), firecrackers, birdfeeders, (arts and crafts like making giraffes), a wind sock and best of all we made this great marble run that we taped to the door and let the marbles run through the tubes. It was tons of fun and kept us entertained for a little while.

Elise and Jayden just love to play on the cushions. I think these cushions are their favorite toys. They make forts, dancing stages, and so many things out of cushions.
