School's Out for Summer!!

Dublin was in session until JUNE 6TH this year!  It was a long school year but I am at the tail end of my first full week off of school and things are slowly starting to feel like summer.  We are going to do our best to make the most of our lazy summer days since school starts August 17th.  We are off to a good start with trips to the zoo, strawberry picking, swimming lessons, pools days, park trips, and story time at the library.  Don't go by too fast summer!

Checking out Nora, the baby polar bear.

Quinn is finally getting the hang of the potty and has been doing such a good job keeping her underwear dry!  She has even been pooping on the potty like a champ!  We are almost out of diapers completely!!

Strawberry picking.  We went one morning after swimming lessons so things were pretty picked over but they managed to find a good amount and had fun doing it.

Our friends Emma and Sam met us there for the fun.

Nothing like relaxing by the pool with a slushie.

Movie night with the neighbors.  We pulled this out last year at the block party and it was a huge hit so we are trying to do it more sporadically throughout the summer this year.  The kids have so much fun eating popcorn and watching a movie outside with their friends.  We kicked off summer movie nights with "The Sandlot."  It was a good pick because even the bigger kids stayed to watch!

Our sitter, Katie, snapped this picture of the two of them.  I just love it.  It shows their personalities exactly and I love Quinn's banged up legs.  True testament of summer!
