We kicked off last weekend with something different - camping in the backyard!
The kids helped set up the tent:
And then we made a fire and had s'mores!
When the kids had their fill of s'mores, we hung around the fire a bit more. After awhile, we went back in to change into pajamas and brush our teeth. Then we came back outside to sleep in the tent! All four of us slept all night long in the tent with the kids snuggled in the middle and Mommy and Daddy taking turns getting pushed off the air mattress :-) The kids were up super-early since they woke up once the sun was fully up at about 6:00 am (they normally wake up between 7 and 8). Clare wasn't ready for her close-up yet, though:
After a little bit of rest and some breakfast, Mommy took the kids to the Farmer's El for corn, tomatoes, and peaches! Our typical place setting at snack time - pretty flowers, kettle corn, and a muffin - minus the iced coffee (which I downed thanks to the early start we got):
Playing and dancing while listening to some music:
When we got back home, the kids were ready for naps - ASAP. Sean went straight up to bed and Clare snuggled with Daddy:
After naps, the kids had some friends over for some backyard water splash day fun. They had a great time and were ready for bed right away on Saturday night. We let the kids have a lazy morning on Sunday - goofing around:
And then Mommy took Sean to a birthday party at South Jersey's newest attraction - Diggerland! Diggerland is a construction-themed amusement park that uses real equipment re-purposed or toned down for rides and activities. Sean had a blast!
On the Spin Dizzy ride:
On the "scooper merry-go-round":
Sean and Mommy on the "Sky Shuttle" (it was super super high!):
Mommy and Sean drove a Dumper Truck and a Skid Steer, too!
Sean and Mommy operated a big digger together and then Sean got to work this mini-digger on his own:
We even had time to try some rock climbing and play at the arcade ...
...before pizza and Lego cake!
The fun continued on Monday - the kids had Little Kicks after school!
Sean had a great night - he scored two goals :-)
