The first part of our summer was spent venturing outside close to our house in Paynesville before venturing right back inside so that Mom and/or Dad could pack. The move is really a blur and for that I am thankful. The kids watched WAY too much t.v. but the packing had to get done. It did and I am so thankful that we moved in the middle of the summer. When we got to Moorhead we took a day to unpack (the minimal) and then brought the kids back from Jamestown where we had a full 5 weeks before Mom had to go back to work. We SOAKED up those 5 weeks and made the very best of them. I was so thankful to have a little bit of summer left to do that.
Here's what we did.....
Splash pad x2, wading pool, Fargo zoo, libraryx2, Children's museum, visited 8 different parks, backyard barbeques, fun run at church, playing with the water table on the backyard patio, family walks, Lake Lida trip, and Family reunion, a 2nd birthday party, etc. You name it we did it! It was so much fun! Those are the moments and that is a huge reason why I love teaching so much. I love that down time in the summer when I get to be a stay at home Mom for three months out of the year and do those sometimes exciting and sometimes just normal everyday play with the kids. A lot of the things we did Dan did with us too. It has just felt really good to be in Moorhead so far. I can wait...but, I can't wait for next summer too:)
