One of the rights of summer is the last day spent at the pool. We enjoyed it thoroughly.
Don was on the road most of the week and Quinn sure is happy to have his papa home. Let the fun begin.
Last Day at the Pool
Park Day
On Friday we had another marathon play day, but this time at Trailside Nature Center. They have a great outdoor playground and it was packed with kids of all ages. Quinn has started to enjoy playing with other kids much more and is always excited to see a playground packed with kids. And of course he can\’t pass a water fountain without trying it out.
He made a friend with another little boy in a yellow shirt, Sky. They were working on their spelling and making words. Quinn is great at sounding out each letter but he can\’t quite put them together yet to sound out the word. He\’s on the brink.
There was a big pack of boys roaming the playground and Quinn desparately wanted to play with them. They were mostly 7 – 8 year olds but they let Quinn join in on the fun. They were playing some sort of game that involved Yoshi and a bunch of other magical stuff. Quinn didn\’t have any idea what they were talking about but was happy to be included (although it doesn\’t quite look like it in this picture).
It\’s fun to see Quinn playing with other kids which will hopefully help him enjoy school that much more this year.
Last Days of Summer
I am sad to see the summer coming to an end. I have really enjoyed having Quinn home every day without any set schedule. We take our mornings slow with TV and chocolate milk in bed. It\’s nice to not have a set schedule or to rush out the door in the mornings. Quinn still has another week before he starts school and we will make the most of it.
Of course the end of summer brings the closing of our beloved pool, which will close on Monday. On Thursday we met some friends at the pool and had a really great day. We were there for 6 hours!! Quinn even had an hour nap while we were there.
Quinn usually gravitates towards the big pool but on this day he spent most of his time in the spray ground area. I took some buckets and trucks for both Quinn and his friend Lucas and they had the best time. The time just flew by. A great summer day.
