School's Out For Summer...

So yesterday was my "official" first day of summer and it was awesome! We were originally planning on spending the day at the Arboretum but it started to rain so we decided to head to the DuPage Children's Museum. My play group friends and I have set aside Tuesdays this summer to get together so hopefully we'll have many fun outings!
Chase loved the museum and I was surprised how much Luke was into things as well. Of course the biggest hit was the water table, nothing better than a bath with clothes on. Although there were little smocks to attempt to keep the kids dry, they were soaked by the time we left the table. There are so many different areas to see and explore we probably only got through about 1/2 of the things before nap time was calling. We ended up buying a membership and I'm looking forward to going with Blake because I think he'll love it too.
We had a great family bike ride (which is becoming kind of a routine that all 4 of us are loving), grilled out and enjoyed the evening. If summer turns out to be anything like yesterday, it's going to be such fun. Today however, it was back to reality with finishing up a few things at school with the boys, doing 5 loads of laundry, and playing referee over a plastic hammer...life as usual!
