Summer Fun - Spence Style

Wow, has it really been over a week since I have posted on the blog....well, besides the home tour posts! We have been busy, attempting to keep Kyle on the go and entertained. Since I'm extremely far behind with updates I'm going to highlight several adventures from the past couple of weeks. Our days have been filled with many "Fun In The Sun", outdoor activities, but isn't that what summertime is all about?

*Kyle and I headed to the neighborhood pool last week. It was the perfect time and we were the only people in the "baby" pool. It was a fun time for both of us to enjoy the sunshine and a nice summer morning. We are planning many more trips to the pool during the summer months...hopefully next time with Daddy, so Kyle can "swim" in the larger, family pool.

*Kyle was recently invited to a third birthday party for one of his little friends. Kyle had a great time...eating pizza, eating yummy birthday cake, attempting to break open a Lighting McQueen pinata, and playing with plenty of cool toys! Since it was a warm morning there was a slip and slide for the children to enjoy. Unfortunately, Kyle wasn't interested in the slip and slide...he really likes pools, but has a hard time warming up to sprinklers.

*This past Saturday afternoon, we went to the Children's Garden at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Pretty flowers and landscaping isn't very entertaining for little ones, but the Children's area didn't disappoint. There are many activities to keep children entertained ...from a playground area with climbing/slides, sprinkler/fountain area, musical area, general store for pretend shopping, and much more. The Botanical Gardens is an extremely popular local destination for photo sessions and weddings. We will certainly bring Kyle back for more fun in the gardens, however, it may have to wait several months until the temperatures are a little cooler.

*Sunday, on Father's Day, we spent more time in the record hot temperatures. We went with another family to a local park for a Father's Day picnic. The day was hot, but enjoyable...enjoying good food, friends, and best of all watching Kyle run and explore.

These are just a few of the things we have been doing, with much more on the agenda to keep Kyle entertained and out of trouble! Hopefully, I will return before too long with more frequent posts and updates!
