Has it felt like years since we’ve had a joyful summer?? Because it has been!!! Between moving, Covid, pregnancies, and who knows whatever else, we have not had a super fun summer in years. I’m excited to enjoy this season. Here’s what I’m looking forward to…
Days at the Pool
We joined a neighborhood pool with some friends and are super excited to use it. It’s about 15 minutes away (it’s in their neighborhood but anyone can join!). We didn’t buy a house with a pool for safety reasons but you need to have access to a pool in the summer because it gets SO HOT. I’m super excited for the social aspect and the place to hang out.
Ice Cream Trips
I love ice cream! There’s a place we love that serves “normal” ice cream as well as dairy free, gluten free ice cream so it’s perfect for all of us. I want to just do visits there more for a fun night with the kids! It also has a splash pad (shown above!) so it’s perfect for hanging.
Time back in Minnesota
We are going to be back for a chunk of time later in the summer. I’m excited to escape the insane heat here and also spend more time back with family and friends – not during a holiday when things can get chaotic.
Trying New Patios
I want to try some new restaurants and patios this summer. Patios are everywhere and a lot of the restaurants have play areas for kids. We’ve already settled into “usual” places so I want to shake it up and try some restaurants I’ve got bookmarked on Google Maps.
Summer is a season of freedom, sunscreen, water, and fun. Nothing really changes about our schedule but I’m excited for that summer feeling. You know what I mean!
