Summer Fun 2012

Summer has officially begun in the Clark household.  School is out for summer, and after just a few more hours of work tomorrow the classroom will be clean and grades will be done.  I have been ready to clebrate for a while now, and celebrate we will! 

We've already been enjoying the beautiful weather with a few trips to the pool.  One particular day
my dad was pushing Henry in the swing and he fell asleep.  He never falls asleep in places other than his bed, so it was pretty sweet.  Olivia took her favorite station from last summer:  sitting on the steps and squirting water at people.  Henry loved the water.  The splashing didn't end! 

The past few days Olivia and I have been working on our summer fun list. It's a fun idea I picked up from a blogger I follow. We did it last year and it was a great way for us to keep focused on all the fun summer things we wanted to do. This year Olivia was in on more of the action of creating the list. It was cute listening to her ideas. It's quite the list, but I'm ready to tackle it!  Cheers to summer!  :)
