Weekend Recap

The last official weekend of summer... here's a little recap.

FRIDAY

On Friday the boys and I went to Silver Beach and the Curious Kids Museum with my 2 sisters (and their kiddos) and our friend Amy (and her kiddos).  

Y'all, this museum delivered.  A lot of times, things are geared towards kiddos a little older than my almost 3 year old and my 1 1/2 year old.  BUT this place was perfect.  I was super impressed with all the things they had to do, and the fact that all of it could entertain Maddox and also lots of kids that were like 5-7 years old too.  We will definitely be going to the museum again soon. It's a great place to run out energy during the winter too :)

Jacoby told me he was a red lion and Maddox was a blue lion.  I love my little lions!

After the museum, we grabbed a bite to eat and then hit up the beach.  We opted for just playing in the sand + on the playground.  

Having 2 littles running around Lake Michigan water makes me nervous...I prefer to do it when Nate is with me so we can have 1:1.  The boys feel too little for me to be able to safely watch them in water that big (in case you don't know, Lake Michigan is HUGE) without the help of Nate/another person to help watch.   We did attempt a big kiddo group picture at the beach, but it just didn't happen (my kids are the ones to blame this time haha)...maybe next time!

When you're so tired but the candy is just too good ;) 

Friday night we went out for pizza just the 4 of us.  We haven't had a weekend home with nothing to do for a LONG time and it was so needed.

SATURDAY

Saturday was slow + the perfect way to finish out the summer season.  We played outside, went on a bike ride to the park, and ended the night eating Mexican food...because it's our favorite. 

SUNDAY

Sunday we went to church (a church where you feel like it's exactly where you're supposed to be + you're excited about...it's a beautiful thing).

We grabbed a quick lunch and then headed over to Nate's parents to swim and hang out.  Maddox napped while the rest of us relaxed by the pool.  Jacoby jumped in the pool, ate way too many fruit snacks + popsicles + skipped his nap.  #becausesummer

After a little late dinner, we loaded the boys up to head home around 9.  Jacoby fell asleep in the car and Nate picked him up, put him straight in bed and he didn't make a peep until after 9:00am today.  He usually transfers well but always...always wakes up to say goodnight.  Apparently swimming and skipping a nap make it super easy to put him to bed hahah :)

Our weekend was filled with lots of down time as a family soaking up the last few days of summer.  Sunshine, swimming, late nights, park time + the beach.  Summer in a nutshell.  As much as I love summer, my favorite season is juuuust about here! Eeeek!!

We have a busy weekend coming up-- Nate's little brother, Louie, is getting married and lots of family is coming in town (some of my family is coming in town for Labor Day weekend too).  We are hosting some of our favorite Carpenters and I'm SO excited.

Happy Monday, friends!  Hope your week is off to a great start.
