Snapshots of Summer 2013

In May I panicked. I knew that in just a month I would have 4 girls at home for the summer, and no husband (he travels 4 days a week), in a new town where we weren't established with many close friends yet. I sat down with the local magazines and asked neighbors about things we could do in Billings this summer. It didn't disappoint. I put off blogging, working out, and other personal interests to give my summer to my girls. It was possibly the best. summer. ever.

We spent many days at the spraygrounds, wading pools, & swimming pools in Billings.


We rose early to jump on the trampoline nearly every day.
We did tennis camp
We visited all the parks for picnics and playdates
We played in panties
We took swimming lessons from our neighbor

We went on family hikes on the weekends
We visited Billings' waterpark
We enrolled in summer gymnastics
We shopped. A lot

We visited downtown festivals (like the Strawberry festival)
We visited the Billings Zoo (bears wrestling in the background!)
We went on bike/scooter/powerwheel rides through the neighborhood with friends
 
We visited the Montana Fair
We signed up for soccer camp

We used our firepit more, for hot dogs and smores in the evenings


And thank goodness for phones with cameras to capture these ordinary moments of our extraordinary summer.
