Summer Days

We're enjoying these summer days!!! We're keeping the kids AND grandparents worn out!!

Check out the chase action here. 

Willow drove by this park at least two times a day, 6 days a week (to-and-from preschool and to-and-from church). There are at least 4 soccer fields and often in the evenings they'll have soccer games going on that we'll drive by. There's a playground too. Willow has often asked to go play there so she can run in the fields. Well, today was the day! It was much warmer this morning than my phone had said (not so "smart" eh???) so we didn't last too long but the kids had a great time running. 

Can you see her?

Zoomed in as far as I could go:

We came back home and cooled off in the sprinklers and enjoyed an orange for snack:

We've even gotten in some "learning time" so far. I'll have to go more thoroughly through my teaching supplies but Willow has already picked out a few things:

Owen enjoyed the tape measures. Everything was 14".

I saw this as a fine-motor development idea on Pinterest. Willow enjoyed it too!

Willow usually doesn't show much interest in batting, which is one of Owen's top activities in the backyard. But, tonight she spent a good 15 minutes batting with Gramps and Gramma....and she did GREAT! Check them out here.

She was very serious about her "batting face:"
