Sweating Into, During, and After Summertime

Summertime usually brings sunshine and happiness.  We tend to spend a lot of time outside, but this crazy heat and three month drought we had was insane.  Five minutes outdoors and I was drenched, sticky and stinky.  It was the kind of heat that made you want to shower multiple times a day, and by multiple times, I mean like 15 times!!  Every time I would step on my grass I felt like I was stepping on potato chips.  It was baaaaad.  I do enjoy it more for other reasons - summer break from school for my boys means more time with them and that's the best.

In no particular order.  

Liam riding on two wheels.  This bike was bought years ago with the intention of getting Liam on it sooner.  His confidence level wasn't quite there so we waited until he was ready.  He's getting there.  Landon was the same way.  Oh, and he chose our neighbor's driveway to practice on because it was longer.  

We swam at various times.  Sometimes alone, sometimes with friends.

Liam riding his hoverboard.  A lot of the time he would ride it around the neighborhood.

And his EZ-Rider (not around the neighborhood).

He had play dates.  Please excuse the mess.

There was sprinkle time.
