At the beginning of the summer, our Thursdays became free all.day.long. (I used to babysit three days a week and now I’m down to two). I decided we needed to reserve this day for some special excursions. This was especially the case because JJ is going to summer school and I’d hoped this would give him something fun to look forward to at the end of the week.
I sat down with the boys and explained my idea to them. We plotted out the Thursdays for the summer and each boy got to pick where we were going to go – they were super excited. We decided it had to be places we didn’t usually go on the average week.(a.k.a. Larson Park, Warson Woods Park, etc)
So far we’ve gone to the Science Center, the Rocket Park and Kirkwood Park. The Coaliers have been doing them with us (Sadie is in Summer School with JJ) and the Olivers joined us for some wet fun at the Rocket Park.
This past Thursday, we went to Kirkwood Park and just when we were leaving we spotted the Kirkwood firetruck watering down some camp kids and we managed to join in fun…how often do you get to do this?!?!
