We are now into July! Wow! This is the full month of Summer -- June includes the tail end of school and our friends return to school in August. We have Library Events, Day Camp, and Family visits this month!
Monday -Today was a 100% free day because our friends are out of town until Tuesday. Anytime I don't watch them we view it as a vacation day and don't do much :-)
Tuesday - I always find that after 4th of July we tend to settle in a little and don't do quite as much. I debated a few things for today but in the end, we just stayed home and did the typical "no electronics" time in the morning and afternoon.
Wednesday - Josh and Nate went to Nana's to hang out with some new friends.
Thursday - Library Phone Scavenger Hunt
The teen group does NOT want parents in their activity. This is the closest I could get.
The activity was a phone photo scavenger hunt (they don't use polaroid's anymore!). I was able to get pictures of their pictures. Yes, this is Nate acting as a statue.
This is their group (I have no idea why this photo is sideways) with a guy with a mustache. Their group consisted of all friends - Josh, Nate, Cooper and another friend from our co-op, Layla. I think they had a blast considering Nate said - "I wish they did that every week."
Friday - Nate had TKD in the morning and then, as I shared on Saturday, we had a meet up with our Co-Op. Usually Friday's are free but who can pass up ice cream!
Yes, it was a bit quieter this week and, honestly, a little lazy for the kids but that's ok. Most years the week after the 4th of July we tend to be pretty relaxed. Growing up, I always loved my summers and the last thing I wanted was a list or required things to do so I try to balance it with the kids - a few things that get them off the electronics but lots of time to do nothing!
