Welcoming in Summer

To celebrate the end of the school year and Father’s Day, we took the kids to Sunriver. This is our second summer going to this resort and we loved it just as much as last time. There is so much to do that it would be difficult to get bored.

The kids enjoyed rocking climbing (it is so neat to see Colin transforming from this timid boy to this little adventure seeker – love it!), swimming at Meli’s favorite place in the whole world – SHARC, bumper cars, miniature golf, playing at the playground, and some quick dips in the hot tub. Will and I were lucky enough to have two date nights. We were also going to do bumper cars after dinner, but I was just too full. Bumping – just did not sound good!

It was nice to have a little break. We have been so busy with work, selling our house, finding a new place to live, and Will’s band. We needed the R&R. Now back to the grind. I am one who tries not to get too excited about things until I know for sure that they are happening…but I am so excited for our new home! Fingers-crossed! All should be good though. 

Meli had been counting down the days for this trip. You can tell in this picture just how excited she was. She is also like her mama and loves wind. I love being in a car with the windows down and wind in my hair. Not ideal for curly hair, but there are just some things that are worth getting crazy hair for. So, we had all of the windows down in the Camaro (plus the sunroof) and were just enjoying the drive on the backroads to Sunriver. Unfortunately, Meli tends to get car sick and being in the back of a two door sports car, did not help the situation. The remainder of the ride were not nearly as enjoyable as the first 45 minutes.

I was so happy to have some reading time. I got to finish my book and start a new one. My little buddy read next to me. I am beyond thrilled that Colin loves to read. 

We spent Father's Day at the pool for most of the day. It was so cute to see the kids having such a good time with Will. We got him a subscription to Loot Crate! Totally feeds his nerdy side!

When were at the swimming pool, there was the coolest rainbow (I guess) in the sky. It was not a traditional rainbow, but just a part of one cloud formation. The pictures do not do it justice…it was such a gorgeous view. 

The last day, after the kids were lying in bed reading, Will and I got the chance to enjoy the sunset together on the deck. Such a beautiful sky.
