first day of summer 2013

Today was our first official day of summer vacation.

We celebrated by working almost the whole day!

We mowed the yard.

We cleaned up (most of) the mess from our weekend vacations.

We did our regular house cleaning jobs.

Rachel packed for Girl's Camp.

Despite all the work, there was a little bit of play....

We finished off the day with FHE and badminton.

We bought this silly little set to play on Memorial Day, but the men got back too late from their hike and we didn't do it.

So today was it's inaugural run.

The kids really, really loved it.

We didn't exactly know all the rules, and we are not that good at it, but it was a fun family game.

Oh yes, we had Root-beer floats too.

All together now, HIP HIP HOORAY for summer!
