Misc Summer Fun

A few summer activities that didn't get their own post.

*Slip-n-Slide with the slide. My kids love doing this. (Apparently so do the rest of the neighborhood kids!)


*Making Magic Shell ice cream topping. Enoch and Kate thought this was the coolest thing ever! Gavin thought it was quite tasty.



*Enoch earned enough project points for a Butterfly Garden. The kids were fascinated with it. They were able to see the entire process from caterpillar to butterfly. It was very cool. Time to get more caterpillars!


*Too much fun!


*Getting hurt! Enoch scraped up the insides of both of his thighs on our rock wall in the backyard. It was quite bad and also the day before swimming lessons started. He missed the first day, but toughed it out after that.


*Jumping on the trampoline in the rain. Such fun!


*Flying paper airplanes in the backyard. Enoch loves making airplanes. Today they tied string to them and made kites.


*Going four-wheeling. Kate falls asleep every single time!


*Playing at Grandpa Dee's cabin. Enoch loves it when he leaves his tractor up there.


*Making a recyclable city. Enoch collected all our recyclable items and built a small city. He is still collecting and want to make his city bigger. He used milk boxes to make the White House, milk jugs for houses and Pick-Up Sticks for the roads. Enoch is the president. Since it is the city of Enoch, Enoch called his city Zion.


We had a great summer!

Your children really did have a fun summer! There are so many clever ideas there! I'm a little worried already about Kate driving at 16. She falls asleep on or in any motorized vehicle! What a great recyclable city and I want to get some butterflies of my own!
