Monday Fun

We are always glad to have Kristin home, but it can be exhaustingly fun. Yesterday I went to work for the morning and when I got home the kids were sitting quietly with the neighbor kids having their reading time. They had already done their morning chores, weeded the garden, rode their bikes to the tennis courts, played tennis and had lunch. While we waited for Delayna to get up from her nap Kris and I packed a picnic dinner, hitched up the trailer and loaded the bikes. Mike got them all secure and we were off to Boise for a bike ride to explore the greenbelt, dinner, some time at the playground and a visit to the Zoo. We topped it off with icecream cones from Sonic. Kris, Alyssa and I ran to the fabric stores in Boise while Mike brought the kids home to get ready for bed and when we arrived he already had the big tent set up on the deck and the kids were settling in for good night of not sleeping. We did have to include a warning that today was great and not all summer days will be that full of fun. But a great start to our first full week of no school.
