Two days into summer break and not bad so far. The kids had a half day on Friday for their last day of school and we pretty much spent the rest of the day at our community pool. Our HOA company hosted a Splash Party for the kids and this was followed by our Garden Club cookout at the pool. A fun-filled, food-filled, day at the pool and in the sun.
Saturday, we woke up early to plant the 5 free fruit trees that were given to the Garden Club by a local nursery, along with 40+ vegetable plants. I feel that the community garden is complete and it looks great with the new additions. Our community also hosted its first Farmers Market and it was a success. The Farmers Market will occur the second Saturday of each month through Sept. Some of us in the Garden Club had some extra vegetables to donate and we made $63.00! Not too bad. I am sure we will raise a lot more next month. The evening ended with a concert in the park and that was a lot of fun; listening to music, hanging with friends, watching the kids dance and play. Of course, a little bit of drinking was involved.
On Sunday, we spent the morning cleaning the house - IT NEEDED IT! We finally made our way up to the pool (YES, WE WILL BE LIVING THERE ALL SUMMER!) and stayed until about 6:00.
Yesterday, Stacey took the kids to Kings Dominion for a day of fun at the amusement park. They had a blast and were exhausted by the time they got home. Camp starts in 2 weeks, so we will be looking for things to do with them each day. Thankfully, Pops and Gigi have offered to take them on Thursdays throughout the summer. That will be nice for the kids to have some quality time with them. We are certainly looking forward to another great summer!
