The Dog Days of Summer

It has finally reached us here in Minnesota. The temps have reached the high 80's with a good amount of humidity sprinkled on top. You know the type of day that your shirt sticks to your skin just walking out of the house. If you haven't experienced it, I'm jealous. :)

July brings the vet business to a nice little slow down. County fairs are going on, trail riders are out camping, and the show horses are on the road. So I've been taking some time to do fun things with the kids when I don't have an emergency to run to.

One of our favorite things is to go to the park by our house. Little Bock 1 (LB1) is game to go all the time. Today, we went during the hottest part of the day. The baby was sleeping and LB1 just couldn't be quiet anymore.

So we packed our bags with water bottles, a notebook, and a pen. She grabbed her favorite doll, Jessica, and climbed on her trike. Off we went to the park.

Our little town is very sleepy on the weekends. Sometimes, I wonder where everyone goes. Today was no exception. We were the only ones there.

Thankfully, Jessica was a long. LB1 took her down the slide, on the swings, climbed the monkey bars, and jumped off things together. Jessica herself is pretty special. She was mine when I was little. My grandparents brought her back from their trip to Hawaii. She went on many adventures with me. My mom had to sew her back together many times. And now I do the same for LB1. Jessica is held together with lots of string and love.

What is your favorite activity to do in the summer? Do you have a favorite toy from your childhood?

Hugs,
