Oh What Do You Do In the Summer Time?

With only 4 days left of school, I'm on the hunt...
I'm looking for some fun, cheap (free) activities to do with the kids
during the summer. We have vacations planned, but I'm talking about
daily things to do...projects, things to make, you know - keep ' em busy!
Please share!

I've been watching the auditions, when I can. I have to say, I think these judges are cold and rude and annoying. They hardly even show excitement when they love a performance. And if they don't love it, they are seriously jerks about it! What do you think?

catch-up...photo style. (revised)

We've been creating family-room-sized rail road tracks
We've had CRAZY weather (from 103 heat to hail & tornadoes!!)

We've been creating art on a tummy canvas

We've been working on disastrous bedrooms
(rearranging and cleaning)

We've been running...
and running...

And finally... we've been climbing,

sliding,

bouncing,

and partying at
PUMP-IT-UP!!!

tons of fun!!

WOW!

What a day! I can't believe that these boys are 6 today!!

Our Sweet Joel. He loves to help in the kitchen, and count Hummers on the road. He can barely handle surprises, and he loves to snuggle. He's a good friend and a sweet big brother. He loves his gymnastics class...flipping on the trampoline is his favorite part. He's very excited to start Kindergarten! Give him some markers and paper and he's busy for a long time, creating with his active imagination! Thank you for adding fun and happiness to our home.
We LOVE YOU JOEL!!! Happy 6th Birthday!!!
Our Lovable Jaydon is such a
happy guy! He is completely obsessed with cars...what kind, what color & how fast! He loves to build endless tracks for his trains, and make creative structures with Tinker Toys and Lincoln Logs. He's a master on the bars, trampoline and rings at gymnastics. He loves his family and is smiley most of the time!
WE LOVE YOU JAYDON!!!
happy 6th Birthday!!!
