Summer Highlights

The first summer in Vegas we didn't know anyone and were trying to unpack the house. The second summer I was pregnant and wanted to cry just thinking about leaving the house in the heat. So this summer we are good to go finally!! Here are some of our favorite things we've been doing:
1. Have friends over to Swim
2. Go to the YMCA pool with slides
3. Weekly trips to the new library (we earned free passes to the Children's Museum by doing their summer reading program see post below)
4. The Children's Museum
5. Morning Devotionals (with help from the Gospel Art Kit)
6. Earned lots of points from the summer points program (Thank you Lisa), to redeem for hours of video game playing, trips to get ice-cream, play dates, TV time, and stay up late nights.
7. Went to the Drive in to see "UP" with two other fun families
8. Jared and I enjoyed a fun night out at the Outdoor theatre with some other couples seeing a friend from our ward star in the "Buddy Holly Story". It was an awesome night and show....we may take the kids to see something there its a fun atmosphere!!

I wanna hear more about your morning devotionals that you do, and also about the summer points program...how does that work?

You're such a great mom, always full of wonderful ideas on raising your beautiful kids, so please share!

Between you and Kari Whiting, I am inspired. I wish we were experiencing summer, 12 month school stinks!

This is a good way to record all those fun summer things. Sounds fun... maybe by next summer I'll be good to go!
