Endless summer memories
We made so many memories during the summer that I had to combine them into one long post. Oh, it is so evident that summer is our absolute favorite time of year. As we check things off our summer bucket list it made me recognize how many things we have done have quickly become a tradition that we all look forward to.
Paddle boating at the Lake Erie Metroparks...this is a wonderful activity we do that is free and perfect for all of us to enjoy
Bowling at the new bowling alley in Vermilion
We found a new park in Lakewood and it was amazing. There was an aerial park that the boys could cross over suspension bridges and walkways. There was this cool saucer swing the boys loved.
The summer visit to Menchies Ice Cream where they can choose their own toppings...$35 later...glad that is only a once a year trip!
The Balloon Man came to the local library for the summer reading celebration. Each child was able to choose which creation they wanted him to make them.
While the big boys were at Beulah Beach, Nolan was able to host several play dates with his friends at the house.
Bryce came over and we made our own brownies in a coffee cup.
Nolan, Nathan, and Wesley work hard building in the garage. Gotta love their safety goggles!
Blueberry picking with Hanney's
This summer Hanney's invited us and the Foisy family to a Lake Erie Crusher baseball game.
Carter and Nathan volunteered to sing "Take me out to the ballgame" during the seventh inning stretch.
Landon has started Fall Ball for the first time with the team Full Tilt Baseball. Bob has been helping out coaching and Landon is loving it.
This summer we have been encouraging Nolan to ride his bike without training wheels. He wanted nothing to do with it at all until about a month ago we came home one night and he asked to "train" with me on his bike. By the next morning he was riding it on his own! Totally impressed!
Caught the boys one night at bedtime all together in the bottom bunk reading...those moments remind me how great the bond between those brothers really is!
Our last thing to cross off the list was a trip to a zoo! We made it out to the Cleveland Zoo and we loved it! We were the first ones in the Rainforest for the day. I love how excited they get to go to the zoo!
The boys fed the giraffes lettuce for the first time! It was so cool to see their long tongues reach out and grab that lettuce.
To finish off the summer days before school, Hanney's asked us to join them for an evening at Cedar Point. We hadn't been there yet so the boys were so looking forward to it. Carter was able to ride most any roller coaster there and Landon was able to ride his first roller coaster. Landon loved the Cork screw the most and was terrified of the Magnum after we rode it.
Another great summer comes to an end but we are so lucky to have the time to do so many things together!
