Here's the list of what I want to do this summer. I'll add Craig & the kids' ideas when they get home. What are
you looking forward to doing this summer?
*Ayla would like to go to the bear park she heard someone at the Y talking about.
* Micah wants to go visit Uncle Walter & Auntie Julie.
* My rather unimaginative husband says he wants to work outside.
We visited Auntie Jenny in Sioux Falls.
We spent two nights at Annika & Grant's house. The kids are 4, 5, 6 & 7 & got along famously. They even slept together on a big air mattress. The first night Ayla got removed from the sleepover & relocated to our room. She was bothering everyone else with her flashlight. The second night everyone was so tired that they fell asleep with no problems.
I laughed so hard after I looked at this picture I cried. So did Ayla. She thought I was laughing AT her, which I guess I kind of was. She informed me that I "hurted her feelings"
