Summer has been great so far! We kicked it off a week before school got out by going to Peru. Then, the boys spent 2 weeks attending Sunshine Days (Communion Prep School). We had a week of "free play" (nothing planned for a week) and then headed to Minnesota for an 11 day vacay over 4th of July. The Daddy's flew in order to miss less work while Tara and I road tripped the 22 hours with the 4 boys. On the way up there, we stopped at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. We wished we had stayed an extra night at the resort because it had so many fun things for the kids to do! Minnesota was beautifully green and lush with the freshest, most crisp air. So many lakes that you can't help but feel relaxed up there (around 11, 800 of them in the state!). Temps were in the 50's and 60's at night and 70's and low 80's during the day. Tara's parents were so fun and accommodating! We loved our road trip there, our week long stay on the lake and our road trip back (INCLUDING, the minutes of insanity that we all felt around the 9 hour mark in the car. LOL!). We have 1 "free week" again next week and then the boys head to Cousin Camp for a week with Nana and Pops. Then, we are off to Seaside for a week with the Knott's and the Simmons'!
Can't get any better than this!
