Our summer is speeding by way too quickly. Here is some of what we did during July...
Water gun play with friends, Landa Park wade pool, 4th of July art for kids at the library, shopping at Cabela's, 4th of July parade in Seguin, golfing with Daddy, tennis in New Braunfels, Grandpa's birthday in Yoakum, storytime at the library, Lucas Miller at the Bulverde/Spring Branch library, reptiles from Austin at the NB library, BAYLOR'S 2ND BIRTHDAY at the NB Railroad Museum, The Jumpy Place, scooter riding on County Memorial Trail, playground fun at Jesse Garcia Park, Herbert's lunch and sandbox fun with friends, playground fun at Ernest Eikel Park, swimming and boating in the river at Cypress Bend park, swimming lessons, Dinosaur George at Fischer Park, Kindermoms Blowout, and the boys had camps the last week in July. Southern was in Nature Camp - Worlds Under Water, and Remington was in Symphony of the Senses.
During the month of July, we also completed the 10 Parks in 31 Days Challenge put on by the New Braunfels Parks Department. The boys' picture is featured once again in their Fun Things in Life catalog.
We also starting working on the flooring in our house during July. Our goal was to rip up all of the carpet downstairs and replace it with vinyl "wood" plank flooring. The dining room was first. This was a HUGE task. I estimated that it would take us about a week to do both rooms. It ended up taking two. Part of it was that we did most of the work at night (and early morning) while the kids were asleep since we could accomplish more when they were out of the way, another part was that scraping the adhesive from the concrete took a long time, and the other part was that moving all of the furniture and decor out of each room and back again took even more time.
And pictures! We took a ton of pictures. Here is a sampling of some of our Days of Summer postings.
