Oh What Do We Do in the Summertime?

OK so I am spoiled but I dont like looking at it that way. The way I see it is its just the only way I have ever known it. I dont think that makes it sound any better but I am just accustomed to spending all of our summer days at the beach. The last two weeks in Austin have been a little trying for the kids and myself. A little bit of the we dont know what to do. Then I look at our pictures and realize that we have done some things.

While the neighbors are away: The Roberts play

We totally had an invite from the Pratts to swim in their pool while they were out of town. That was really fun for us to just go out our back gate and have a nice swim. The only problem is now the boys keep asking to go and I will not take advantage of that.

While Jordan was at camp, we took the boys and Zane to a little water playground. Fun was had but I learned a lesson that day. The big boys are way way too big for this. They were just too big to be running around with a ton of little kids there. I will not be taking them back to that.

This was our first time to actually swim at the Barton Springs. We all drove down to Zilker and would just play it by ear. I decided not to take Logan in because the water is a very refreshing temp of 68 year round. I just didnt think that he would appreciate it. Apparently Jordan didnt either. However that had allot to do with the fact that Jordan and a friend stayed up the entire night before and I did not know about it. She just could not function very well. Larson did the best he could but it ended up that Tom and Jackson had a blast.

They found the diving board and had fun displaying their non diving talents. It was really fun watching the "diving board show". One guy did a complete belly flop and you heard the oooooohhhhhh from everyone watching.

Tom thought that his 1 1/2 twist dive won overall. I told him that he looked like superman trying to take off and fly.

Logan and I hung out at the playground and he loved chasing all the pigeons. It was really hot!!!!

We made a stop at Sno Beach and each got the worlds best snowcone ever.

It seems like we have been spending allot of time at Zilker. This was Jordan's youth group night and they met at the Hillside theatre to see the Music Man.

I guess my expectations were of just a little play on a little outdoor stage. I was wrong. This was a full on production and I loved it. Such a cool thing that happens every summer in Austin and after 5 years I finally figure it out. I was in the Music Man in High School and it was cool to see it again. The costumes and set was really good. I loved being outside and downtown.

Jordan really enjoyed it and thanks to Tom for staying home with the boys!
