Summer Fun in the Month of June

We've had a great Summer so far. It's hard to believe it's already been a month since school got out and since Tanner is going to the year-round school, we only have one month of summer vacation left. His first day of Kindergarten is August 3rd. 
Anyways, onto our summer fun list.
To start off, on the first official day of Summer vacation, the kids found these buckets waiting for them outside. They were pretty thrilled with their summer fun buckets.

Week 1- We did squirt gun painting. The kids loved this!

We went to the "Trike Theater" and saw "Three Billy Goats Gruff" and it was completely adorable.
The kids were completely enthralled and loved it. The audience participation was awesome and we will definitely be going back. 

Participating in the story. They crossed the bridge with one of the goats and then got to pretend to eat the green grass on the other side. 
It was so fun!
We've been to the pool more times than we can count- but this was our first visit for the year. 
Tucker basically was in HEAVEN. He thought it was a big bathtub and crawled all over the shallow end. Bailey and Tanner had a great time too. 

We went to Silver Dollar City and played!
This kid and his smiles!

And we ended our first week of Summer vacation  by going to the Splash Pad. 


Week 2 began with us planting our tomatoes. I really hope we get some good produce this year, our garden was pathetic last year. 
We went to the Rogers theater and watched "Turbo" as one of their "Kids Summer Movie Series" 
We had some friends over for a water day. There was a water balloon fight, slip-n-slide fun and the baby pool was filled. The kids had a blast. 






We picked blueberries for the first time with friends. Man, those were so delicious. After picking berries, we all came back and had blueberry pancakes at our house! YUM!
And to end the week we made "Frozen Lemonades" like the ones at Chick-Fil-A. So good!

We only got one day into week 3 before we left for Florida, but we did get to go bowling before leaving. Our local bowling alley does a "Kids Bowl Free" special all summer long. It was chaotic with half our playgroup there, but we had fun!


The following week after getting back from our Florida vacation we did sidewalk chalk spiral art. This was fun and harder than expected!

The next day we went to a princess meet and greet at the park. The young women from our stake put this together and it was completely adorable. Bailey was in Heaven and didn't want to leave. 


Some young men came dressed as some of the princes too. So adorable!

Then we had a slip-n-slide day. 

And Friday ended with us playing at the new Bentonville Community Center. This place was awesome. 




The last few days of June were spent doing sidewalk chalk squirt paint

 and ice blocks with toys frozen inside. 
That gets us through June. I can hardly believe it's July tomorrow. So crazy.
