Weekending it

Today is Kip's last half day of school before summer break but we've already started in on the summer fun with a packed Father's Day weekend.

On Friday afternoon (I get off early from work for summer Fridays), Mandy and I took the kids to check-out a splash pad about a 10 minute drive away. It was free, fully enclosed, chlorinated, and had an area with minimal splashing for little kids and a full soak area for the adventurers. Mandy and I were impressed with how safe and clean it felt and it made for a really lovely stress-free and fun afternoon for all of us. We will for sure be going back there more this summer.






On Saturday, Kip had swim lessons in the morning and he is really improving and getting SO CLOSE to an independent back float and I even saw him jump into the pool and get his whole head wet.


In the afternoon we went to the local Food Truck Festival. We all agreed there is no comparison to the Brooklyn Smorgasbord, but this was pretty cute for being local. Maybe next year there will be a few more options.



On Father's Day Sunday, Dan got to sleep in, have breakfast in bed, and open gifts. In the afternoon we all went back to Whippany, NJ to ride the Father's Day train. We got to ride in the caboose and then climb into the steam engine and pull the whistle. 


















It was a great weekend and now we are in the mad-dash-only-hours-left countdown to the end of the school year. I'm doing the class party solo and I'm excited for the prep and stress to be done. Onward to summer!!!!
