Summer Fun: Mother-Daughter date, icecream, saber battles, solar eclipse

This summer has flown by and suddenly we find ourselves getting used to our new school year routine! Eeek! We enjoyed the last week before I started back to school, then the reinforcements arrived (aka Gramps and Gramma). 

Owen laid down in our room to watch a show and Alli made herself comfortable on his legs. She does this with me, but has rarely done it with the kids! So sweet to see!

Willow enjoyed a friend's birthday party at the roller skating rink. They were in the "black light" room. 

We tried a new ice cream place that makes a Taiwan form of rolled ice cream. It was super yummy!

Mama's summer project got up on the wall the weekend before she went back:

Willow and I had a Mother-Daughter date and enjoyed rock climbing, getting our nails done, and trying out a new ice cream place!







Our pool noodle lightsabers from Owen's party are still holding strong and have gotten a lot of use with Gramps in town! (Not sure why this video is oriented this way)



Calming down with a bit of coloring:

Willow is figuring out that rope! She can get halfway up now (the orange tape mark)!

The kids received a pair of solar eclipse glasses in their monthly science kit that Kim and Chad get them. Thankfully the weather cooperated and the kids didn't have school, so they were able to check it out multiple times throughout the afternoon. We were in a 90% blockage zone and noticed the slightest change in light - pretty incredible!! (Thankfully it was a workday for me at school, so I was able to enjoy it with teachers at school too!)


Crazy shadows on the patio!
