Summer Fun in Salmon

This is some of the random things the boys have had fun participating in this summer...

 

For a few days in June, we went to the park every afternoon for Free Kid's Lunch and

Art in the Park.

Jonah and Micah enjoyed making duct tape projects every day, and Kanyon's favorite part was painting rocks.

 

 

In July, they attended 4 half-days of   

Bible Day Camp

put on by the Baptist Church. They made crafts, had different learning centers, ate lunch, had water activities, and played different group games each day. It was a new experience for them and all 3 had a great time!

In June and July, the boys participated in the Library's annual

Summer Reading Program.

There were 4 afternoon programs having to do with the year's theme of "Dig into Reading". They learned about gardening, underwater & underground animals, archeology, and cave exploring. Each time they went to an activity, they had a group reading time (I was so happy to be the Guest Reader this year!), then learning time with different professionals, then craft & snack time. The boys also made reading goals, and they read at home to earn prizes at the end of the program. It was really organized well this year and was a good experience for the boys to participate in.

 

 

For the first time, I signed up Jonah and Micah to be in a 

Horse Riding Camp.

They went 4 different afternoons in July & August to the class at the Whitewater Therapeutic Arena and learned how to take care of and ride horses. This was a new experience for them, and they absolutely loved it!!! They were good little horse riders!

 

 

And of course, one of their favorite summertime activities was having lots of  

Play Time with Friends.

And they had lots of it! One of Kanyon's best friends Keagan came over almost every Friday to play while his mom worked, and the boys spent a lot of time playing in the ditch, riding bikes, playing guitars, and swimming at the pool. They had so much fun!

 

One of Jonah and Micah's best friends Mason came over a lot, too. His mom walks with me daily, and whenever we walked in the evenings at my house, she would bring Mason over to play with the boys while we walked. My boys really looked forward to my daily walking time just so they could play with Mason! They even had a few sleepovers this summer, and I took my boys to Mason's house to play a few times, and they went to the pool several times to swim together, too.

 

 

It's been a fun summer for the boys! I'm so grateful for opportunities for them to play and have a good time as well as learn new things!
