\nI would love to win this bike. Wouldn’t you? Ah, yes. Me riding with groceries or a kid in the back. How efficient!<\/p>\n

Today is the first official day of summer vacation for us here, and we’re getting off to a good start. We talked about what we want to do for fun, and what I expect of the kids. We came up with our summer set of rules:<\/p>\n

1-Be Respectful and Nice
\n2-Practice piano for 30 minutes 4 times a week (lessons on Wednesday).
\n3-Weed for 30 minutes every day
\n4-Do laundry every day (sort, fold or wash)
\n5-Do daily jobs and dish job
\n6-Make bed and clean up room every day
\n7-Kids make dinner two times each week
\n8-Scriptures at dinner time
\n9-Jobs before play<\/p>\n

This may change, of course, because it’s all a work in progress with kids and family. <\/p>\n

And summer’s all about the fun, so we’ve put together a list of some fun things we’d like to do.
\n-play in stream at the park
\n-Lagoon
\n-Jump on it
\n-Seven peaks waterpark
\n-Don’t eat Pete
\n-Camping in the back yard
\n-Family reunion
\n-Game night
\n-Organize food storage (that was mom’s idea, not the kids’)
\n-Sleep in the living room
\n-ride bikes to the library
\n-Picnic in the park
\n-Ryan Shupe concert
\n-Sleep over at Grandma’s
\n-Sleep over at Aunt Julene’s
\n-Neighborhood bike parade
\n-Lehi Horse parade
\n-Thanksgiving point
\n-Enter local art shows
\n-Go hiking
\n-Attend many, many softball games
\n-Go to a play!
\n-Hike to Timpanogos cave
\n-Summer movies<\/p>\n

*Whew!* It makes me tired just thinking about it! And speaking of tired, I’d better get going on MY summer goal, which is 30-60 minutes of exercise every day. I haven’t done ANYTHING for over two weeks because of my dumb surgery and this stupid pain, but I’ve got to get back in the habit.<\/p>\n

What are YOUR plans for summer? Do you have fun things that you always do with your kids in the summer? I’d love to hear your ideas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
