Seven on Sunday Summer Challenge Week 1!

We did it! Summer Challenge Week 1! Monday through Friday we were able to do at least one thing from our list! We had a lot of fun waking up and deciding what we were going to do that day!

Sunday: Day 1-- We spent Sunday celebrating THIS super special guy!!!! He's such an amazing Daddy so he spent the day grilling for himself!! LOL!

Monday: Day 2-- The kids and I took it easy on our first "official" day of summer. We hit up the library to sign up for the summer reading program, rode bikes and spent a lot of time outside. I even got a nap in! Ahhhh, summer!!

Day 3: Tuesday--We packed up and headed to our favorite Northern California beach, Fort Cronkite in Sausalito. We visited the Marine Mammal Center for the first time which was a great (free!) activity to add to our beach trip!

Day 4: Wednesday--Pool day once again! I love this pic...even when he's relaxed, he still looks stressed! Ha! He's been that way since birth!

Day 5: Thursday--Today I took the kids along with one of Will's preschool friends to Pixieland, a little kiddie ride park. We had a blast riding the "rides," having a picnic, going to the park and eating popsicles! Sarah loved the tea cups! Shocking :)

Day 6: Friday--It was hot today so we went to the store to find Otter Pops...much to our dismay, Safeway didn't have them :( So we settled for Sour Patch Popsicles. Yuck, as far as I'm concerned but the kids loved them! Clearly :) We just sat under the tree outside, got sticky and the kids rode bikes. Fun and relaxing :)

I have to add this pic to Friday, even though it's not a Summer Challenge pic...but it's super funny! Brooke and Will went to night VBS (Vacation Bible School) in our neighborhood for three nights this week. So for three nights, Scott and I experienced what it was like to have ONE kid in the house. Talk about WEIRD. Completely foreign. Anyway, Will is NOT the singy, dancy, praise-God-type kid but apparently (according to Brookey) he got up on stage and danced and sang at VBS. She about died of laughter when she told me. On the last night the kids performed for parents and sure enough, he sang and did the hand motions like a Southern Baptist! LOL! I had to take a picture to prove it :)

Buddy praising the Lord! Not a great pic, but you get the idea :)

 Day 6: Saturday--Although we're only officially counting the weekdays as "summer fun" days, we had fun on Saturday, too :) After a brief hiatus (one week??), we're back to Saturday sports. Brooke is doing Track Camp for the next 6 weeks and Will started the new season of summer flag football. He's with the big kids now and his team is the 49ers!! WOO HOOO!!!

The girls at Track Camp

49ers! Yay!

O, 

Ok, that was more than "seven" but it was a super fun week!! xxoo
