This summer went by way too fast. It seemed like just when we got into a routine it was time to start back to school. We fit alot of fun into our days. We went to the petting zoo at Oak Mountain State Park quite a few times. The kids love to see the animals then having a picnic while the peacocks are walking around us. The lake area is a fun place to play in the sand and cool off during the hot summer heat. Caleb, Maddie and I went with my mom to see my grandparents for a long weekend. They live 3 blocks from the beach so of course we had to go play for a little while! Maddie had never been to the beach before and loved it as soon as she put her feet in the sand. Caleb practically grew up on the beach and loves everything about it. He is my beach boy! For the 4th of July Scott smoked a beef brisquet and we had an awesome barbeque dinner! We then went to our spot to wait for the fireworks. The kids had a fun time making funny faces at the camera! We all had a great time watching the fireworks then headed to Sonic for some ice cream. By the time we got home they were all ready to get in the bed. We had a great day! The summer needs to be about 6 weeks longer. I love having my kids home with me.
