Almost a Month??

I cannot believe that Tanner has been out of school for almost a month! The Summer is surely going to fly by. My little man will be in Kindergarten before I know it :)

We have been doing a few fun things this month, not many, as you can tell by my lack of posting. Tanner started summer camp last week and he is having a ball. He went to the baseball game, he learned folk dancing, and yesterday he went for ice cream. On Monday he gets to go to the zoo and have a picnic at the park. I think these 8 weeks are going to wear him out :)

We also checked out the new waterpark in the area. Very fun! So much fun I forget to get out the camera :) We have been going to the library, which I feel is only fun for Mom, and we have also been going to our friends house to swim. We got a new swimming pool but we have yet to put it up. We better get going on that before the summer is over and we don't get to use it.

We were able to spend last Saturday with a friend of mine from high school who happens to live 2 hours from us. He and his family were headed to the beach and they stopped in Greenville for the night. It was wonderful to catch up and take them around our great city.

Oh, and in the middle of it all Grandma June turned 86! We shared her favorite meal with her, got her an Edible Arrangements fruit basket (she has always wanted one) and we had planned on taking her to the BBQ festival but those plans fell through. I hope she had a great day :)

We will be heading to Tennessee in a few weeks, oh wow, it is less than a few weeks..we are going to Dollywood again. We could never get enough of Dollywood and have decided that we have to go at least once a year. We are also counting down the days, or months, until we hop in the car and DRIVE to Utah. Michael promised me a few days in Nauvoo to get me to oblige..lol..at least my little boys can just aim out the car door if they have to go potty..LOL..we don't even have to stop!! Just kidding :)

Well, I will definitely be posting next week because my absolute favorite holiday is coming up in a week. I love the 4th of July! I could watch parades, fireworks, fighter jets, and celebrate our nations freedoms every day of the year :)
OK, one picture...the time has come to potty train the monkey! He looks so old in this picture!
