Rotary

Hubby and I had all July off, and one of our fav things to do has been to go to rotary lake. It's a man made lake that has ample room for the kids to run, and a great playground. We always run into someone we know. We have been taking the kids to Rotary since the summer Ashlyn was 6 months old! It's been a great way to cool off and relax as a family :)

Another thing we are enjoying this summer is the BBQ!!! It's a great way to cook on hot days so it doesn't eat the house up even more!!! And, since Daddy is a GREAT BBQer, the food is always amazing!

We have been able to do lots of fun things this sunmer, a lot of it including water!! It's been a fun, entertaining way for the kids to stay cool in the heat.

Fruit

Fruit is something we go through a lot of in our house. I always try and have the fruit bowl topped up. With 7 kids, it seems like there is always a tummy rumbling. The kids know that at any time they are allowed to to get a piece of fruit to eat. It's healthy and something I can leave out for them.

I have been eyeing up this amazing fruit bowl at Costco for months now. It was only $17 bucks, but I already hada fruit bowl, so why but another? Right? However, I finally caved. I have to say, as far as fruit bowls go, it's AMAZING!!! it holds a ton of fruit. I am so glad I finally bought it.
