last week of summer

I wanted to pack the kids' last week of summer full of fun! 

Two other moms from the neighborhood (who's kids were in Emmy's kindergarten class) and I took our kids to Great Wolf Lodge on Monday.  

We had been two year ago and the kid are always asking when we could go back so I was excited when the other moms schemed up a plan to go!

We got a suite that slept all 8 of us.

I took the kids to the candy store for a late night treat after playing in the water all day.

YUM!

Checking out their loot!

We could have stayed for a second day of the water park, but we already had plans to go to Yorktown Beach for our annual beach trip with the Shipleys on Tuesday.

Ben and Jerry's is a must after swimming all day!

The trolley ride is also a favorite after ice cream!

We headed home from two days of fun and these kids were worn out.

We took it easy on Wednesday and then went to our last Squirrles game of the season.

I managed to get in front of the camera for a picture since I'm always behind it!

It was a hot night so Dip N Dots were quite nice!

The kids were excited to do water balloons on Thursday.  Bunch O Balloons were on clearance at Target so they each picked a pack!

After water balloons we got cleaned up and headed to school to meet the kids' teachers (separate post to come).

Friday was family fun day!!  We didn't mark everything off the bucket list this summer, but Emmy was excited we made it to Boomerang!

I'd be fine to never go back to these trampoline arenas (hello broken bones), but the kids love it and they have so much fun on the ninja warrior courses.

They're stronger than I am!

We did a little shopping and the kids each got a pool float because they were such a steal.

We tested out the peacock at Nana's pool on Saturday.

And they tested out the flag at MeMa's pool on Sunday.

Back to family fun day!  We have been seeing a lot of pictures of crazy shakes from a little bakery a few counties over from us.  We were somewhat close on Friday so we decided to give it a try.  The wait was super long so we probably won't be back, but the shakes were so fun and so good!

Bryce was excited to round out his weekend with a canoe ride in Kelly and Dave's pond!

It is safe to say that we've had a GREAT summer!
