Can’t wait to try this one out with Brandon in a few weeks. BTW, I didn’t see the link up on the bottom anywhere. We did bowling this week and it was a blast. This has been such a great experience so far and it’s so much fun to think about what we will be doing each week

I hope you guys do this again next year! I want to do it so badly, but my daughter is only 10 months old. I have a feeling climbing a tree might be a little difficult lol
I certainly will! I’m loving it – I can’t believe how much fun it is doing all these activities.
My little guy is a little older than yours but he loves to make kites. I give him a Construction paper diamond that he colors and glues some collage materials on. I attach a piece of yarn and he runs around the yard flying his “kite”. Little things like that make him happy.
A late to the party entry from the frozen North. We loved making snow castles!

Local resident here (waves hi). Did you catch that rain storm yesterday? Thought of you and your puddle jumping. We got our wellies on and had a ball.
Has Lexi seen some of those huge kites at the beach? My son loves watçhing them. You should take her there to fly a kite.
Hey, Andi!
Great idea! We’ll definitely have to take our kite on the next beach trip!
