Wonderful Labor Day Weekend

We had a great Labor Day with our family this past weekend. It was so exciting to see the boys have so much fun.
Friday- We all went to Music on Main to hear the band play outside.
Saturday- Out to the Parks and running on the playgrounds.
Sunday- We went up to the Water Park in Tampa at the Aquarium in AM then we had a nice visit with Grandma and Grandpa Hughes ( Which Grandpa spoiled them brought 6 new balls that the boys love-their new favorite toys)!
Monday- Visit from Great Grandpa and Grandma McDermid and Aunt Eileen ( Grandma brought two more balls they love!!!
Then we finished the weekend with a yummy BBQ and swim at Grandma and Grandpa Goble where the boys got to try their very first strawberry shortcake- which they LOVED!

Here are a few photos of the boys this past weekend:

Kids Summer Activities For Cabin Fever

Summer in Florida is probably comparable to up north in the winter because it is so hot you can't do anything outside unless you are in the water - hence the word "CABIN FEVER"! With two - 1 year old's that means I am trapped inside all day because I can't let them run around at typical places that most people can like the park, aquarium, museum, mall, beach and such places because there are two running in different directions. We do go to these places when I am by myself (except the beach) but it seems like they are always in their strollers. On the weekends with Ken or if a friend stops over during the week, we always go somewhere where the boys can run and explore. So...my point is, I have cabin fever and so do the boys. My friends with twins are in the same boat and we are trying to come up with activities to do. If anyone has an idea let me know!!

We have tried:

• building forts with a blanket
  
• playing with boats in baby pool
• making a music band with the shakers and songs
  
• coloring ( no so great - everything goes in the mouth)
• and basically anything you can think of inside.

Here, we made a t- shirt for Ken on Father's day.

I think I am going to try something with edible play dough.
