Enjoying Summer Before it Ends

I've been MIA for a few days {not posting or visiting} mostly because we are doing exactly what the title of this post says...enjoying summer before it ends! Last week we played on the slip n slide, went swimming, and visited the splash pad any time it wasn't raining:) This week are busy having a blast at VBS! We have meet the teacher night in exactly one week and then next Wednesday the boys start school. Our summer is almost over, so we are going to enjoy it until it ends...we may even squeeze in our more trip to beach this weekend!

What kinds of fun things are you doing with your kiddos this summer?

National Hot Dog Day....Maybe

At the beginning of each month in the summer my boys get a calendar of children's activities from our church. Our children's director always includes fun facts and even more fun holidays, along with the normal church activities that are going on.

Earlier this week I notice that July 21st was labelled as National Hot Dog Day....so we made plans to go to our favorite drive in to celebrate. After a little research, I found out that depending on which website you visit you could actually celebrate National Hot Dog Day on more than a few different days:) One website said July 19th, a few said July 21st, but the majority said that it was actually tomorrow Saturday July 23rd. I don't know which is right, but since we had already made plans, we ate and celebrated National Hot Dog Day yesterday {July 21st}...and maybe we'll have another hot dog tomorrow {Saturday, July23rd} just for the fun of it:)

So if you are looking for something fun to do this with your kiddos weekend, why not celebrate National Hot Dog Day...at least one website says that it's tomorrow:)
