Enjoying the last days of Summer {photos}
A small collection of photos that I have taken on our walks. We are enjoying the warm weather still, and hopefully it continues for a little bit longer. 🙂
The Wind Leverager Delta Kite-from Get Childish! {Review}
Look at this super fun kite that I received from Get Childish!
My try at Industrial Strength Bubbles! {pictures}
Have you seen the recipes for those Industrial Strength Bubbles floating around out there? {Get it? Floating..haha!} 😉
I found a recipe on Pinterest and knew that I definitely wanted to give it a try. My girls love blowing bubbles. I do, too. I mean, who doesn’t love bubbles?
This recipe called for 6 cups of water, 1 cup of corn syrup and 2 cups of regular strength Joy dish soap.
I could not find Joy dish soap anywhere, so I bought a different brand. I also realized that I bought ultra dish soap and had to tweak the recipe a bit. I ended up adding more corn syrup to the mix.
More baby bunnies!? Yes!
Last Friday while mowing the lawn, my hubby found some little bunnies in our yard. We had to scoop them up so that he could continue mowing the lawn. Now look at just how cute!!!
My sunflowers are finally blooming!
You just don’t even know how very excited I am. Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers, I absolutely love them. As you may have read in a previous post, I planted them, thinking they were going to be {a lot} smaller. They are dwarf sunflowers, but still pretty big! 😉 I am however really excited about having these big beautiful sunflowers in my garden! 😀
Here are the 2 that are blooming the fastest. I believe there are 7 in total, but I will have to go count again to be sure. 🙂
Playtime at the park!
Elmwood Park is a really nice park that is near our house, and it’s walking distance! Imagine our surprise the day we went and found something new there. A zipline {for kids, of course!} Well, I guess you would call it a zipline, right? You decide. 😉
Jump and go!
Garden Flowers
Hello friends! Just wanted to share a few more beauties in my butterfly island. It is full of color and looking so pretty. I want to enjoy them as long as possible, because before you know it fall will be here, and the blooms will fade away. 🙂
Our night out–Night to Unite
Every year our neighborhood has something called “Night to Unite”, where the neighborhood comes together for a night out of fun. I’m sure this is something that happens all over, although the names for it may differ. 😉
I just wanted to share a few photos from our evening. It was at Elmwood Park here in West Fargo; walking distance from our house. 🙂
A great day for a car wash!
Our vehicle was so dirty! It still had nasty, dead bugs all over the front from our road trip {weeks ago!} I know….ewww, right? My oldest daughter mentioned she would like to wash our vehicle, so I said..”Hey, why not? {Free car wash!} 😀
Both of my girls had a fun time!
Life on the Prairie {camp}
Today Jacey started “Life on the Prairie” day camp. At this camp, Jacey will step back in time and experience school in a 1-room schoolhouse & learn about Native American traditions, as well as experience a pioneer school lesson, make fry bread and hand crafted items.
It’s a 2 day, day camp, and it is at Bonanzaville. We love Bonanzaville. You may have seen my older posts about our visits there, and I have a lot of photos on Flickr as well.
Kids Dream-Summer Film Festival-Movie Lineup!
Marcus Theatres is having its “Kids Dream” summer film festival June 15 – August 13, 2014.

We got to see several movies last year, and it was fun. We saw a couple that we had previously seen, and a couple of new ones, too! Definitely going again this year!
A few {end of summer} photos!
I just realized that I wrote this post (but never finished it)! It was just a few end of summer photos that I wanted to share -before school started. Summer went by way fast!
At the Chahinkapa Zoo {Wahpeton}
Earlier in the week, Monday to be exact, I took the girls to the Chahinkapa Zoo in Wahpeton, ND. It’s is just under an hour drive there. I happen to like this zoo better than our “small” zoo in town. The Wahpeton Zoo has a few more exotic animals, which we love! 🙂 We had a fun time there, although it was super hot that day. We packed a lunch and headed out! Here are just a few photos from our time at the zoo….
This zoo is laid out nicely..lots of paths to walk…
