Every August since we moved away from camp, Ben takes a week off for a family vacation. We’ve usually gone to my parents’ cabin, but this year, we decided to try a “stay-cation”. Everett is easiest to take care of at home, which makes it the more relaxing option! Plus, there are so many fun things around here which we just don’t take enough time for, so we made a long list of things we want to do, and we’re all pretty excited about this week!
We decided to kick off our first day of vacation with a fire, sparklers, and banana boats. It was the most beautiful evening.
Since we don’t eat much sugar at our house, the girls thought this treat was pretty exciting. Ben and I have fond memories of making banana boats at camp, so it was fun to introduce our kids to this little fireside tradition.
Whenever I take a picture of Everett, he starts shrieking, “SEE! SEE!” because he wants to look at the screen of my camera.
Now most of my pictures look like this, because he’s saying “See” in all of them….
We also had to do some apple sampling, to see if our little apples are ready for picking.
After we were done snacking, Ben played soccer with the kids, while I did yoga.
What did you do with your beautiful weekend?
