Realized its been a while since I have wrote anything new. The only excuse I have is that we have been busy! We kicked off July by going camping over the 4th weekend. The kids had a blast outside in the woods, cooking snacks on the fire and of course playing with sparklers!
And finally this year it wasn't so crazy hot that we were able to go to Kiddies Day! The girls had fun but were disappointed, they thought it was a huge event where they could make crafts! However they did wrangle me in to buying them a few things. In the afternoon we went over to check out the newly opened Children's Gardens at the Arboretum. Needless to say I think it was a big hit, we were there for about two hours, we have been back several times and its one of our new favorite spots. Looking forward to checking out as the seasons change.
We also had season tickets to the State College Spikes this summer. We had a blast at the games. The girls freak out every single time they saw Ike and the Nookie Monster. I think we have Ike's autograph on just about everything we have taken to the game. The season is coming to an end (I am secretly happy since it will be football season!!!) but we will be ready for it next year!
Other fun times this summer include: Movies on the Mountain (the last one is this Friday featuring the movie UP), Family Fun Night at Welch Pool, and the Wings in the Park event at Tudek Park. The girls had fun learning and exploring in the butterfly gardens. They even got to make a caterpillar cookie!
As summer comes to an end (I can't believe school starts next Tuesday) I can happily say we have had a fun filled time! And as much as I love and can't wait for fall...I wouldn't mind a few more weeks of summer.
