Tuesday was the first official day off from school also known as summer vacation .You could also say we are taking our snow days. The summer rule is television and electronics stay off until after lunch. Within an hour Jake was asking to have a friend over or go some place.They were used to a schedule and being busy and didn't know what to do. I sent them outside in the beautiful sunny morning and let their creative minds go to work. That is the problem with kids these days,they sit inside the house on a video games and glued to the television. Thy miss out on so much outdoors and using their imaginations The boys went out to the alfalfa hay field and made a home in it. They had rooms, hallways, and decoration. They played for a couple hours, then I brought them a blanket and sack lunches. They thought it was the best! Day two started out similar and we got out the tent. another perfect sunny warm day. They even read books in the tent. I love days like this! Wednesday, Thursday Jayden and I went down to the arena so she could make some practice rodeo runs, then we went to the 4h horse project meeting.
The boys also rode with Dad while mowing and raking hay. They found other things to do like playing in the sand box and fixing up old toys. They kept busy.
