This sumer I’m looking forward to taking my little to the water park, I love water parks and hoping he will as well. It’s perfect that there is one only 5 miles from our house!
Warmer weather!
Summer = SWIMMING! That’s what I like best, especially watching my husband come up with new dives. He’s a goofball.
Summer is my favorite season. There are so many things I love about summer! I love when it’s warm enough to go swimming. I love when it’s hot enough to go swimming at night! I love eating BBQ more often. I love that we wear sandals and flip flops so there’s less laundry because no one is wearing socks! I love that laundry and diapers on the line dry in no time. Most of all I love that we have so much fun together as a family in the summer!
The thing I love most about summer is being able to dress my baby in nothing but a t-shirt so he can show off his fluffy butt!
That you can be outside for an extended period of time! After the winter we’ve had, I need some vitamin D and sunshine!
Playing outside with my kids 🙂
no need for pants on babies!
