Mikayla and Kambria put on a successful bake sale complete with watermelon cupcakes, flower sugar cookies, popcorn balls, and sprinkle cookies! The little ones were there to help taste the goods!
Bowling Time....just us!
I will admit it is usually easier to invite friends on outings because the older kids enjoy their friends and don't fight with each other. But this time we didn't. There may have been a few arguments surrounding who's turn it was or keeping the scorecard...but we survived and I think we had fun! Haha!
Homemade popsicles--the easy way--take your pick!
(Blue Hawaiian Punch, Pink Lemonade, Red Hawaiian Punch, Sunny-D)
Sidewalk Chalk and more homemade popsicles!
Do A Large Puzzle---when I picked this summer activity I had visions of sitting for periods of time with my older kids having meaningful conversations while we tackled this 550 piece puzzle together. Haha! Mikayla was immediately turned off with the challenge. Austin sat down with me a couple times but didn't last long. It was mostly completed by myself and family/friends who were over and drawn to it.

Make Tie-Dye Shirts
Much easier than I thought and they turned out super cute!
Sprinkler under the trampoline....
Always a great way to beat the heat!
Drive In Movies---Despicable Me 3
We went on a Thursday night this time which was perfect because it wasn't very crowded so we could get up close to the outdoor movie screen.
Always a fun way to put a twist on watching a movie!
Game Night
One Sunday evening we had the kids each pick out a game they wanted to play and we played all of them together. Mikayla made the comment "we should do this every Sunday!"
