13. What are your favorite summer activities to do with the kiddos? You know, to keep them from saying, “I’m bored” all summer long:)
I have eaten at Frasca in Boulder. Highly recommend it!
Interesting advice list, but found it could apply to my boys as well. I am glad you posted it.
Have fun on your trip and Skype is a great way to stay in touch with family. As always, I enjoy seeing pictures of your boys, such heartbreakers they will be!
The boys are so cute and so loving! Good luck with the chickens! I can’t buy any more sandles…i just got 2 new pair and have yet to wear them. Good summer activities with kids:
Children’s reading time at the library
swimming lessons
water parks
Children’s museums
Children’s activitues/classes through junior college in your area ( ours has a science camp that is 2 hours a day for 1 week)

I live in Houston and Hugo’s is one of my favorite restaurants here!
The Glass Castle is my favorite book!!! Â You will love it.
I bought those same sandals at old navy for a fraction of the price. I do love them! The straps on mine are two different tones.Â
Love the picture with the mountains in the background. I want to be there right about now! It’s so flat and hot down here in Florida. 🙂
I’ll take the Blackberry Pie Bars too!
Thanks! The mountains are gorgeous in Utah.
You have super cute kids guys! I love the picture of them walking towards the mountain.
Thank you!
I’ve been watching Bloodline, it’s so good! Sadly I keep being exhausted and falling asleep and then spend the next evening trying to figure out what I actually watched lol
