A busy summer

Tweet

It's that time of year again. It's time for school to start. My little man is starting kindergarten, and all day kindergarten at that. I'm not sure I'm ready for it, but he sure seems to be. He's getting rather impatient. I have managed to keep him busy all summer. He did tball up until mid July 11th. He did Safety Town in June, Bible school for a week in late June/early July, we then went to Pittsburgh for a week in mid July (last week) while there we were busy with museums, and we went to a movie, and to the top of Mt. Washington, which my son hilariously thought we were going to have to climb, and was quite relived that we didn't. I wish I could have video taped his response upon learning we took a road to get to the top. The Monday after we returned (this past week) he started wet n wild, which is a day camp where they get to go to the city pool and play on a splash pad and do various other games that get them wet like water balloons, needless to say I got a laugh out of the name. I laughed even more hysterically upon learning my mom told her friends she had to go to "Wet n Wild" and then had to correct herself and say she was taking her grandson. My mom is going to be 71 on Sunday, so this just cracked me up. Anyway, after a very busy summer my son gets a couple weeks of down time where we get to just have some family time. I'll probably take him outside tomorrow if it isn't raining or storming, and we might watch a movie and play a game. These are the things he enjoys most. We have taken him to see about every children's movie that has came out this summer. "Finding Dory", "Secret life of Pets", "Angry birds" (which OK was actually in May, but still), I want to say there is another one in there somewhere. The county fair is also coming up, so I'm hoping to take him to that at least once. We will probably have a few lazy days at home too. I have wanted to make this summer count for him, and he has had fun all summer long. He would get upset when one thing would end, but then be happy when he started something else. I never got to do anything during the summer as a kid, so I'm glad my son has had the chance to. It will be nice having things calm down a bit and getting to relax for a week or so. I'm also glad I've kept him fairly screen free this summer apart from taking him to the movie theater. He has only watched an hour or so TV a day and he has had a little time on his tablet, but being out and doing things has kept him from wanting to watch TV or play on his tablet, and it has kept him active. He has really tanned too, even I have managed to get a small tan with as white as I normally am. I don't normally tan, I also don't normally burn, which is odd since I am extremely pale complected. I usually turn beat red while in the sun but once I'm inside the redness goes away and I go back to just being tan. That has been our summer, what has everyone else been doing this summer? Or I guess whatever season you're currently in depending on where you live.
