The Wyatt Family: August 2015

My last post was at the beginning of the summer and now here we are already at the end. It has been a good one. We have been busy with soccer, work, day camp, vacations, swimming, play dates, karate, and hip hop dance class but we have also had some relaxing days and down time. Although I love the laziness and the less "scheduledness" of summer, I am ready to get back in our routine. Here are some highlights from the last few months:

Trip to Arkansas: We spent the first week of our summer in Arkansas. We started in Little Rock with Grammy and Pawpaw and got lots of cousin time in with Presley and Landon.

Aubrey painting Landon's nails.

We also spent a few days in Monticello with Gigi and Papa. My cousin, Jon, and his wife Candice and their two kids happen to be in town visiting also. Their daughter, Hadley, is just a couple of months older than Aubrey so it was fun to get them together.

Watching the Women's World Cup.

This is at Atwood's. The Farm Supply store in Monticello. They have real baby chicks so it is heaven for my animal loving girls.

Even Oliver made the trip.

We have had some fun playdates this summer:

And lots of movie nights.

And before it turned 1 million degrees outside, we had fun hanging out on our back patio at night.

We've played dress up:

Gone rock climbing:

And celebrated the Fourth of July:

One of the best things we did this summer was go to Great Wolf Lodge. Gigi has been wanting to take the girls for a while so we picked a date and made a plan. Because Aubrey is still too little to ride most of the rides, we decided that Gigi and Papa would stay overnight with the big girls but Aubrey, Ben and I would only go for one day then come home to spend the night. I went back the next day (it is only about 20 minutes away) so that I could ride rides and spend time with Ava and Macy without the distraction of little sister. It was a lot of fun and the highlight of the girls' summer (along with a trip to Colorado which is going to get its own post!). Thanks to Gigi and Papa for such a special treat!
