day camping 2017

Our first day of day-camping happened this week. While I had plans of biking down the dirt road, the bejos boys were completely entertained to read and play in the tent.

We are settling nicely into summer vacation. It hasn't taken us too long to adjust to the lazy mornings, lack of agenda, and warm, sunny weather. The bodies of the Bejos boys are sun kissed and rosy, the yard is green and blooming all sorts of colors. We miss Mr. Bejos during the day, but we make the most of our  evenings. The grill is getting lots of use, as is the outdoor table.

warm evening walks

While winter evenings find our household changing into pajamas the moment we arrive home, the longer days have us rushing out into the woods before the bedtime hours. With a football in hand we can now successfully complete the loop. The boys go deep for passes, and we don't have to carry anyone home.

birthday recap

We convinced the birthday boy to forgo a party and celebrate with a trip to hot sunny Phoenix.
Aquarium
Hotel with a pool
Ice cream
These are the promises we made.

The ice cream was a-ma-zing, and I am not typically an ice cream kind of girl unless it's a summer soft serve swirl with rainbow sprinkles.

We brought a bouquet of balloons home with us, and photographed them everywhere we went.
