This is a summer of fun. I am committing to non boredom. Most moms are having their babies create wish lists and posters of things to do. I think thats a fantastic idea. As I am now working full time, I am now going to have to be more creative with time than ever. I run a home business, I full time wife and parent, and I have a career that keeps me extraordinarily busy. I also like to "not have a schedule" with my family as I am lazy and sometimes I just want to drink coffee and dream.
Our first summer adventure was at a request of a friend with a much older child and one that is 10. She said 10 had been begging her for zoo time. I said, "We're in." My 10 hates the zoo as we wore him out on it when he was about 18 months. Too bad, we are going anyway because I'm the mom that's why.
So we went, we laughed and we ate treats and it was awesomesauce.
Adventure number two was impromptu. "Hey ya wanna go to the lake and boat with us?" says my favorite mermaid friend.
(i do realize that i am mixing species here as that i am a fairy and she is a mermaid but it works for us don't judge)
So I introduced my family to hers. We didn't get there until almost 530. Summer in our state, the nights are long and beautiful.... and buggy.
The kids enjoyed meeting and making new friends. We helped fix a boat . . . well.. i don't know if I helped as I was too busy talking. . but I was there so that counts. An hour later it was time to tube. The sun was setting, not a boat in sight at Carlyle Lake Eldon Hazlet State Recreation Area
We were literally on vacation. No worries. Just treats, water, breezes, and happiness. It was a good memory for the books. We enjoyed it and obviously they did too.
