Whenever it rains we get this enormous puddle in the yard. After being stir crazy due to weather, we decided to grab rain boots and play outside.

Ever the trendsetter, my darling daughter likes to wear her clothing backward sometimes!





Last week Jayden attended a library program teaching children about Kung Fu. He had a blast and even earned a certificate for his awesomeness!




While he did his thing, this little gem spun in circles and played her own little version of hopscotch.






Bowling


We are currently participating in a "Kids Bowl Free" program. They bowl, we watch. Cait is really great at this game but she wasn't feeling well. Jayden did pretty well though!

Boston Freedom Trail

My youngest sister is here visiting from Florida. (Today is her birthday! Happy birthday N!) She is a history fanatic and wanted to visit the Boston Freedom Trail. We headed over to Boston for an afternoon.

At first, we walked around for 40 minutes, completely lost as to where the trail began. We did see some beautiful statues though! 





We bought some balloons for the kids. In hindsight this was a terrible idea. They popped rather quickly which led to tears and kind of a killjoy.
 The positioning of Jayden's sword had me cracking up the whole time.



 After hitting up the gift shop, we finally found our way!








 










 After walking around for 2.5hours, the kids were done. We headed back to the car but stopped at the wading pool for a chance to cool off.
 


It was really exciting to see how much history is in Boston!

Water fun


We have had two heat waves so far that have sent us running for water to cool off.

One day we headed to the splash pad.



 A few days later we headed off to the beach.
