Family Fun

I'm so happy the summer is here not only has it been sunny and hotter then usual but I get to spend more time with my family.  I'm expecting my 20th niece/nephew this summer.  Unfortunately they don't all live close.  I wish they did!  First I got to spend a day with Penelope and Scarlett.  We had so much fun.  We went for pedicures, went to the park, watered the garden and many other fun activity's.

Then the very next day 4 of my nephews got to spend an "Hour of Fun" with auntie!  This started with a trip to the Rootbeer store.  Where the boys all got to pick 2 pops each.  One for now and one for the car ride home to Spokane.  We then went to Black Bear (frozen yogurt) the boys loaded up their bowls with lots of yogurt and candy.  Surprisingly I refrained from having any. I'm trying to cut back on sweets but man its hard!  Our last stop was to RiteAd.  The kids each got $5 and 5 minutes to spend it.  Most of which they spent on junk food of course.  I offered to stop off at the park on the way hamoe but only James wanted to so we skipped it.  They had to head home soon anyway.

I've been trying to find a time to take Mallory and Andrew to Red Robin but it just hasn't worked out yet, However I did get to hang out with Mallory all day last Monday.  I asked her what she wanted to do and she said make a cake.  So we spent quite a bit of time making it just right.  She even got to crack the eggs!  Before that though we stopped for a donut.  I asked her if she wanted to go the donut shop close to home or the far one with crazy donuts.  She picked the far one with crazy ones, but when we got there she just wanted a plain chocolate long john.  We had McDonald's for lunch then played in the sprinklers in the back yard.  It was a fun day.

I do really wish my family lived closer so I could spoil them more often!
