Last Week of Summer Fun!

This is my last week home with the kiddos before I head back to work.  It has been a wonderful summer and I LOVED spending it with the kids....but I think we're all ready to get back on our normal schedule. 

We were all sooo happy for some decent weather this week so we could get outside and play.  We have hardly gotten outside much this summer since it has been so darn HOT.  We would try to get out each morning....but we didn't last very long with the humidity as bad as it was.

I think Hudson loves his little car as much as his brother and sister love to push him around.  :) 


 He doesn't seem to mind that his swing is pink.....  :) 

 Bouncing fun at Monkey Joe's in Peoria......the kids favorite place and first pick if they are given the chance to choose an activity outside of Bloomington....
 Even Hudson got in on the action....he loved bouncing on the top watching the kids come down the slide. 
 Miller Park Zoo.....what a great day for the zoo....it was right around 70 degrees and beautiful out!!  None of us wanted to leave.  :-)  A picture of all three kids looking at the camera....what!!...and even smiling! 
 Kinley loved the pink flamingos and liked that they were just walking around on the sidewalks.  Kinley isn't much of an animal lover, but she seemed MUCH more interested in the zoo than the last time we went.
 ....just to make sure they weren't sneaking up on her......
 Watching the quarter game....

 Kinley didn't hesitate going into the petting zoo and even wanted to brush the goat....she would have NEVER even went in the pin just a few months ago....

Friday Fun Run....

Most of our Friday nights this summer were spent at the Wesleyan track for the Kids Run For Fun sponsored by the Bloomington Lake Run Club.  This was the first year we could make the last run of the summer....which means....trophy night!!  Kinley was soooo excited to get her first trophy....she still carries it around and I often find it displayed in different areas of the house. 

We would often end up at the Hobbs' house after the race to get something to eat and let the kids play.  It was definitely something we looked forward to every Friday!

 One Friday we hosted the after party....here are the bathing beauties enjoying the pool....
