Re: Summer
This!
Go on a road trip with DH before he goes to the police academy in July
Spend lots of time with my Rec kiddos at my rec department
Visiting my siblings in Portland and hanging out at OOB.... probably not mini-golfing
BBQing and having dinner outside
Being done at the school... starting my 2nd job full time instead
*** I'm not looking forward to being pregnant all summer, mainly because MH & I always play on a softball team and this year I can't play, so I'm the designated "Water Girl" & Bookkeeper. Gah.
So summer is my least favorite season here (right now is AWESOME, though!), but there's still stuff I'm looking forward to:
-Family Vacation in South Carolina
-Attending lots of free outdoor concerts
-Taking Lily to the sprinkler park
I am super excited for spring AND summer! I think I can mostly see ground vs snow :-)
I am looking forward to:
did you know that spring begins on THURSDAY??!!
I plan to spend lots of time at the beach. Ben is already talking about it.
Lots of neighborhood walks and stops at the playground.
Take Ben to Santa's Village and maybe go back to Story Land. It's as much fun for us as it is for him. He started talking about the "duck boats" at Story Land out of the blue the other day (swan boats). It's amazing how much they remember when they are young!
Take another trip to Day Out With Thomas in Boothbay.
Lots of trips to Pineland for picnics and to see the animals.
Take tons of photos of Ben!
I can still remember going to both these places when I was 4-5 and loved them. I can't wait to have children so I can take them!
sunshine
the smell of rain on hot pavement
gardening
swimming
bike rides
vacation time
going to camp
trips to the ocean
watching all the bulbs I planted this fall come up
spending time with family and friends.
Wow there is sooo much I can't wait for:
ALCOHOL!!! Frozen margaritas here I come
Going to the lake, Luke LOVED it last summer, I want to teach him how to swim this summer, or at least float
And I don't even need to elaborate on how happy the lake makes Ms. Molly!!!
Spending everyday with my boys. I'm so excited to finally have a summer off and a new baby and my favorite handsome toddler to do it with.
Exercise. I am so ready to workout, to run, bike, swim, and sweat. At the end of pregnancy I am always jonesin for a good hard workout.
Our annual anniversary hiking trip. Should be interested with two kids this year. But, my brother and SIL are going to try to go with us for multiple days this year.
Sun. I am feeling sun deprived right now, can't wait to just soak it up.
Maybe start building our house!?!
Yes! Fun!!
Sweet!!! And lol at your alcohol comment!
I am late to this post, but wanted to join in. We'll be around, and up for playdates and get togethers, from late June to late August. I actually started a Word document listing ideas of things to do with Eli this summer. Some highlights-
Having almost 2 months off to spend with my family. Even though DH will be super busy working 2 jobs!
Ice cream!
Taking Eli to Storyland and a Day Out with Thomas
Playing outside with his water table, sandbox and other fun stuff
Playdates with awesome moms and babies
Walks, jogs and bike rides
Hanging out at the lake on our dock- picnics, floating, kayaking, watching 4th of July fireworks
Going to local fairs and festivals
Day trips to local attractions like Children's Museums and Smiling Hill Farm
Try a toddler yoga class
Fruit picking
Trips to the beach, including trolley rides!
Taking Eli to a Sea Dog's Game- hopefully the Bark in the Park game with Manny too
Running Beach to Beacon with DH
