A Summer Bursting with Fun

I don't even know where to begin to describe how this summer was much better for me than summers in the past.  We are finally at a point where we are transitioning out of the "baby" part of our life.  What do I mean by this?  The fact that we aren't having worry so much about diapers, naps, special requirements, etc. that go along with having an infant/toddler in tow.  It also does not require and arsenal of equipment needed to leave the house!  Carter is finally becoming a preschooler!  Working on potty training by fruit snack rewards, and now it's going pretty smooth.  This makes outings and vacations much easier than previous summers, so finally being out and about, makes doing those fun things sound more appealing!  I'm looking for more fun  places to take an almost 3 year old and 5 year old in San Antonio, when we get out during the week, so please send your suggestions my way.  Things we can check off of our summer fun list consist of:

1. Disney World

2. Gatorland

3. Sea World

4. Zoo

5. Red Sox vs. Astros at Minute Maid Park

6. Witte Museum



7. Swimming (several times)



8. Circus



9.  Movies- How to Train Your Dragon 2, Tammy, and Planes 2: Fire and Rescue  (this is actually and world record set for me!  I might maybe catch 1-3 movies at a theater per year, but this I have completed in one month!

     

We also have a trip in the works to Port Aransas for Labor Day weekend.  We have a cottage there for 3 nights!  My family is coming along as well, so extra fun added in!  It will be a nice way to spend the 3 day weekend after 2 weeks back at work!
 
The kids have started a stage where they are constantly fighting with one another.  Both of them are having lots of whining fits and most of my days are filled with the repetitive sound of my name...Mom.  It seems like it either stops or becomes more tolerable when we leave the house, so I have been making it a point to have something planned all the time.  I am enjoying the summer and hope to do many more things, in addition to improving the suntan all the days outside is providing me with!  Only 3 more weeks left before we return!  Looking forward to seeing all those smiling faces, bring my baby to kinder at my school, and seeing my friends, just going to miss all the time to do whatever we want!  It is because of this, that I am going to slow down managing the mobile vet clinics and spend more family fun time with my husband and kids!
