Gimme S'more Weekends Like This One

• 6.02.2014

Summer is in full swing around here!  We've been playing hard, staying up late, and sleeping in.  Believe it not, Levi has been snoozing till almost 10AM!  So when Jed awoke both Saturday and Sunday we turned on some cartoons for him and then climbed back into bed.  Slow and sleepy cuddly mornings are just the ticket.  *Wink*

When our neighbor told me he was offering free rides on his carnival slingshot attraction Thursday night, I knew I was not going to miss the opportunity!  He takes the slingshot to fairs and carnivals across the nation and it just happened to need a little paint job done this year.  It was sooo much fun!  I had to ride it twice.  I was practically shaking from the adrenaline.  Thanks a heap, Barendregts!

^^Nick and I ready to be launched.  Bron hates heights and Nicks' wife Amy doesn't like rides much, so we rode together!^^

Other happenings over the weekend included some retail therapy (at Target to be specific) on Friday night for me: I was feeling a little defeated by a certain pair of little boys.  But no matter; I found myself some new maxi dresses that hug all that right curves and are perfect for summer!  They're comfort and style rolled into one outfit.  I'm so excited!  The problem was I just couldn't choose!  I totally texted my sister pictures from the dressing room.  Hehe  Our family also attended a barbeque on Sunday afternoon where we tasted some of the best tri-tip ever grilled.  I'm not kidding; it was mouth-watering delicious.

But I think the highlight of the weekend was spending all of Saturday afternoon and evening up in the South Hills.  Our friends took their camper up into the mountains on her maiden voyage, so we joined them for some mountain biking, dinner, and s'mores over a campfire.  The temperature was a bit cool because a mild storm blew over and it's still early in the season, but the outdoors felt refreshing all the same.  Levi even got down and rolled in the dirt, just like a dog.  Atta boy!  That kid makes me laugh.

Keep bringing it, Summer!   

P.S.  Levi totally has a sandal tan line across his little feet already!  Too cute.

 ^^That's my Jed!  He likes fire, loves wearing hats, and is hopelessly attached to his toys.  Jed didn't catch a nap that day and just kept getting crazier and more destructive as the afternoon wore on.  Note to self: Jed still needs a nap... or else!^^
