Summer – and heat – is finally here. Well, heat’s been coming for a while. We spent the last few weeks having water balloon fights and playing on the slip n’ slide and eating tons of frozen juice popsicles. We’re trying to keep busy, and mainly inside, for the summer. But this last week had more going on that previous months.
Monday morning we went to the Arizona Science Center and then went to some friends’ house to swim and eat dinner.
Tuesday started with a pool party and then we found out at the last minute that the boys had gotten into classes at the Mesa Arts Center. D is taking a Harry Potter Puppet class, which hopefully will continue since it was under enrolled. C is taking Visual Arts Explorers trying different artistic mediums.
Wednesday morning started with a kids summer movie, followed by a quick picnic, and then we went to a trampoline place for a birthday party. The party continued back at their house where all the kids played for hours. The boys stayed for a sleepover, while B came home with me.
Thursday started with dropping books of at one library and then pick up the boys from the sleepover. Then we headed out to lunch and then to another library to return books, pick up a book we had on hold and grab a few more. Finish it up by bringing lunch to daddy.
Friday. TV, legos, reading at home. No one wanted to leave the house.
Saturday started with the boy both taking a pottery class at the Mesa Arts Center and then B taking ballet with a friend. Then daddy took everyone over to Bookmans used books to try to sell some books – we’re decluttering…still, always – and wonder around. And then they headed to lunch with a friend and brought her home to play for a while. When B’s friend from ballet, lunch and hanging out here got picked up, the boys went to their house to play with her brother.
Which brings us to…deciding what to do tomorrow. First Sunday of every month is free museum admission in Mesa: Arizona Museum for Youth,Mesa Contemporary Arts and Arizona Museum of Natural History. And the Arizona Science Center is having a member’s night. Decisions, decisions….
