Summer Outings II

We are almost at the end of our time for our summer activities, with my surgery only less than a week away.
This past week involved a lot of local community outings.

Here is where our week took us:

The puppet wagon

Storytime at the Library

Some fun at the park with Nate and Theo

Playing at the playarea in Rosedale after having lunch with a friend

The Penny Carnival

We also had a very full Tuesday filled with many activities. Check out my previous post, A Day Full of Fun, to see all we were able to cram into one day. I was even able to fit in some time with girlfriends this past week. I was able to do some shopping, go out to dinner, and see a movie which is always fun. One of the nights I was out, the boys were able to go and play some Frisbee golf. Paul always enjoys that, and I heard Jackson even played a few holes. so I think they had a good time. Overall, it was a very fun week, and we look forward to more fun in the upcoming days we have left. Come back and see how our last week turns out.

A Day Full of Fun

Today has been a very busy and fun filled day. It wasn't really planned to be a full day, but that is what happened as we are still trying to fit in all our fun activities before my surgery next week.
Here are the events of our day:

First we had a playdate with Parker at Snail Lake Park. We even saw our friend Henry there, and it was fun to play with him too. When we were done playing, we walked down to say "hi" to my cousin Jocelyn, who was working at the beach.

Then we were off to the Science Museum once Paul got home from work. There we had many activities to fill our evening.

The Star Wars Exhibit

Playing mini golf in the Big Backyard. This was by far Jackson's favorite activity of the evening, we couldn't get to it soon enough.

Finding the numbered stepping stones in the Big Backyard maze.

Then we stopped at Sonic on our way home for a treat, delivered by a carhop on roller skates.

We had a very fun day, and a very tired boy at day's end. He fell asleep in the car on the way home after drinking his chocolate milk he ordered at Sonic.

Summer Outings

In preparation for my upcoming surgery, we have been trying to go and do all the fun things we want to do this summer into just a matter of weeks.

Here are some of things we have done so far:

Sprinkler park with Madison and Sam

Mini Golf at Lilli Putt

Waterpark of America

Teddy Bear Park

More Mini Golf at Spring Lake Park Amusement Park

Jackson has become a huge fan of Mini Golf. It is perfect game for him because it involves lots of counting. He loves counting the holes, number of strokes, keeping tabs of what the par is for each hole, and of course getting the ball in the hole. The arm usually goes up over the head along with a shout of "I got it in the hole!". We are having a blast playing with him, and are looking forward to going to a few more courses yet. If anyone knows of a really fun course let me know, we would love any recommendations. I will post more of our fun outings, so check back to see how many we can fit into the next two weeks.
