When Ryan and I got married we always talked about when we had kids we wanted their friends to like to hang out at our house, we wanted them to feel comfortable and have fun there are so many reasons why we wanted our house to be the hang out place and it really is just that we have groups of kids here everyday...............
One thing that we are trying this summer that is new for us is camping out in the backyard I cannot believe how much our kids love this we have done it a few times now and plan on doing it a few more times this summer plus we are calling it practice for our big camping trip and the end of the summer I am not a camper at all so I figure I need all the practice I can get....
Also in the spirit of practicing the other day our family did something I've never done we went up American Fork canyon just for the fun of it for the day we played games roasted marshmellows ate hot dogs *funny little note Fin will only eat hot dogs and marhmellows cold?
Finley is going through a crazy destructive phase I love this child but this phase better end soon everything from digging up the front yard to "fix" my sprinklers to climbing on top of the car with a saw and trying to saw down the garage door...the other day we went to my mom's house and before we left he went into the bathroom turned on the water closed the drain and left it flooded to bedrooms and their walk in closets ruined cabinets and built in bookshelves like I said I love this boy but wow.....
I loved our 1 rainy day this summer please please can we have a few more we had a blast I originally thought it would be the perfect inside day to let my kids recover from being outside all day everyday for weeks now but no they spent the whole day out in the rain....
So far this has been the best summer ever and things just keep getting better I cannot believe how much fun life is right now with these crazy kids and my wonderful husband!!!
