Summer Fun & our Recommendations

How is your summer going?  Honestly, other than being enormous, swollen and sweaty (some people say you're glowing... they're lying it's sweat) ours is going great.  We're checking off our list double time this year. 

Slip n Slide fun...

New water bottles to encourage hydration....

Catching butterflies, fireflies and right now we have two caterpillars in their chrysalis...


Enormous Dandelion Blowing...


Did you stay up for the Honey Moon a while back?  Well, I kept the girls up and to be honest... not that impressed.

It was big and beautiful, but not THAT different from the regular full moon.

The girls did have a great time though.

Now for a couple of recommendations... If you haven't been to a drive in, GO!  We love going!  It's great family fun, and if you live around us we like
 
Starlite Drive-In very family friendly!
Throw the mattress in the back or open up the mini van...


We've also had lots of fun with glow sticks.  Cheap and entertaining.  If you're not up late enough, use them in the basement for cool down time and play hide and seek with the lights off. :)
Please ask Jed about his firefly dance to attract female fireflies!

We made bouncy balls and lemonade and had our own stands in the backyard.


Lots of trampoline fun....

 
We've also done sewing camp, East Lake swimming, West Park hiking, softball, Turn back Tuesday $1.50 movies at the palace (definitely recommend).  What are we missing?  What should we add to our list that is good cheap summer fun? 
We haven't been to the zoo or botanica yet.
