Family Movie Night!

One of the things on our Summer Fun List is a Family Movie Night. We have movie nights, and we go to the Drive-in and the theatre, but since this was on the list, we decided to make it a little more special.

We popped popcorn with our new air poppr:

We got candy everyone likes and gave some to everyone:

We moved the coffee table and got pillows and blankets out to be comfy:

(Lily wanted me to take tis picture of Baby Lamb having movie night too.) ;0)

And we tried out our new projector!

We watched the 1st Despicable Me so we could get ready to watch the 2nd one next week! We had so much fun & it was really easy to set up, so I see us doing this a lot!

Hopefully when it is not too hot outside, we can have a movie night outside & invite family & friends!

Summer Vacation

Zach's last day of school was today.
Time for:
playing outside all day
popsicles
sprinklers
swimming
art projects
staying up late
S'mores
amusement parks

sleeping in (okay...I might be dreaming on that one...)

I can't wait to enjoy summer!!

Our First Campfire!

When we built the deck, we bought a fire pit so we could have campfires in our very own backyard.
The kids thought it was a good idea to have a campfire this past weekend......and to have S'mores at the same time!

I wasn't sure how long this family time would last....the kids don't always have the longest attention spans. =) But I was pleasantly surprised. Jeff told the kids a spooky story that ended up being funny, then the kids decided to tell their own spooky/funny story. Even Lily told a story and kept giggling throughout the whole thing. It was really fun to listen to their stories and to listen to them laughing with each other. Hopefully we will have lots more fun campfires!
