In short…. A LOT!! Â The kids are so fun and really enjoy summer fun!
We started out with our trip to England. Â Clearly a highlight! Â No question we all loved our trip- the things we did and saw and experienced. Â There are still conversations about the trip and I suspect there will be for a long time (Bren is obsessed with Wicked).
Camps were a big part of the summer- sailing again for Aidan plus a week of science camp, drama camps (plural) for Brendan. Â We saw a few shows too- ones Bren and his friends were in and also Finding Neverland at the ART (it’s going to Broadway!!)
We had half of July and all of August to enjoy. Â And boy did we!! Â We had a couple of trips to York Beach. Â It wouldn’t be summer without toes in the sand, crashing waves and a trip to Brown’s to end the day. Â It is fun to watch the kids venture out a little deeper and spend a more time playing together. It gives me and Chris time to enjoy the summer too.
We went back for another shot at Zorbing. Â So much fun to roll down a hill! Â We also tried kayaking for the first time. Â We went to Canobie Lake (first time in four years for the kids- first family trip!!). Â Chris and I LOVE roller coasters, the kids need more convincing. Â But we all got to do the things we wanted to do and had a great time.
There was also time for friends. Â Aidan got to invite his friend Trinity to come spend the day and go out on the boat. Â We also went to the Hatch Shell and saw his friend Tierney. Â There were a couple of playdates with his friend Andrew too. Â What is more fun than hanging out with friends in the summer?
I really feel like we enjoyed every part of the summer- the fun days, the chill days at home, the days we went to a pool with friends or just went to the park. Â I know this is going to be a summer we all remember as a lot of fun- and one that will be hard to top!!
