Let the summer begin!

Cooper finished summer school today! We are all really excited. Travis and I decided earlier this week we would celebrate the beginning of the Ferris summer with a fun family activity. The bag and cooler are common sights around our house. They are usually packed for a long weekend. But not tonight! That bag was stuffed to the point of not being able to close with towels, shirts, toys, and a blanket. (that bag holds 3 outfits, 2 pairs of shoes, and all my cosmetics, with room to spare when I go away. We require way too much stuff for mere hours away.) We headed to the park mere seconds from our house for some water fun and a picnic dinner.



All of the kids loved the different fountains. Maddox took a little while to warm up to the idea of water splashing him everywhere.

The easiest and fastest way to dry off before the picnic was to swing and let the wind do the job!

Nothing says, "I love you" like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chips, and juice boxes!

(don't worry or send hate mail! Liv had a jelly sandwich, no peanut butter for her yet.)
