The First Half...

Summer is HALF over!

And we are halfway through our 80 Days of Summer fun.


There are 80 days of summer vacation,
Until school comes around just to end it.
So the annual problem for our generation,
Is finding a good way to spend it.

Like maybe:

Going to storytime at the library



Earning a free book at Barnes and Noble


Making friendship bracelets



Blowing giant bubbles


Celebrating the 4th of July



Making homemade ice cream


Watching a movie at the dollar theatre (The Lorax in 3D)


Trying a new fruit (dinosaur pluots... the kids were NOT fans)


Visiting the water park


Visiting a new park (Reunion Trails Park in Henderson.  It.  Is.  Awesome!)


Having a picnic at the park


Learning about a new culture (Japan)

Watching the Fratello Marionettes show at the library



Eating frozen custard from Nielsen's
