Summer is finally here!! My favorite part of summer is living outside. We try to have our family dinners on the patio and the kids spend hours in the backyard playing on the play structure or in the blow-up pool or slip in slide, planting vegetables in the garden, watering the flowers we planted to attract butterflies, or just playing make-believe. This month is all about kung-fu fighting as we just saw Kung Fu Panda II. I especially love that my kitchen window faces the backyard so I can make dinner, clean, or do paper work at the kitchen table as the kids play outside. It is definitely easier being a mom in this season!!
The kids received a butterfly and lady bug habitat for Christmas and have enjoyed watching the bugs grow from larvae to adults. Alora was especially smitten with the beautiful orange butterflies. We are releasing one at a time into our yard.
Alora is showing a great interest in fishing. She has been talking about the annual fishing day at the Bonneville Fish Hatchery for months. This year, she was the only one of five kids to catch a fish! She was so excited.
The pumpkin seed fish was Alora's favorite.
