We enjoyed a few last trips to the State Farm pool.
With cousins
and more cousins.
We fit in a few last playdates and sleepovers.
The "cast" of an original play about princesses and witches with friends Riley and Hadley.
American Girl doll time after a cousin sleep over.
We found a few final opportunities to enjoy summer festivals and fun.
We happened upon the Kid's Day at IGA for balloon animals, bouncy house, face painting, goodie bag fun.
The girls enjoyed Community Bash with cousins and then got to have another fun cousin sleepover.
We checked off a few final summer bucket list activities.
Like Daddy day at Wildlife Prairie Park while Mommy was at work.
A special date with my oldest to have lunch and see a movie.
And going to see the Peoria cast of Peter Pan, Jr. perform so the girls could take the opportunity to see the play that they were going to be in...and see some friends on stage.
We've had lots of fun watching (and coaching) Briggs as he starts his first season of Pee Wee soccer.
Seriously, how cute is this little soccer player??
Briggs got to go to his first ever "friend" birthday party for his little friend Dava.
It was a princess tea party, but Briggs didn't mind hanging out with all those princesses.
He got to enjoy time with some of his closest friends from pre-school.
And Briggs and I have enjoyed some special time with family and friends doing fun activities while the girls have been back in school.
We took advantage of the free days in August to enjoy Tanners Orchard with Aunt Melissa and Lucy.
Playing, shopping, trying ALL the free samples, and eating lunch together was a special day for the littlest kiddos while their bigs were off at school.
Briggs and I also enjoyed a special day out with our neighbors and friends, Miss Vickie and Mr. Dick.
We had lunch at Steak and Shake followed by an afternoon at the Wheels of Time Museum in Peoria.
We spent over 2 hours at the museum looking at old cars, trains, fire engines, and other cool antiques. Briggs loved it, but these model trains were probably his favorite.
It's been a great August. It's been a great summer. Now it's time to cruise on in to September. We're ready to say good-bye to our summer fun and welcome the fall festivities.
