Summer!

It has happened.  Summer vacation began at approx. 11:48am (Friday morning) when a certain blonde-haired boy got off the bus.

The first item on his summer list...

Have a picnic lunch and watch his favorite bird movie.

Poor Lila.  She just wants to watch Dora or Caillou and Brendan tries to lure her in by watching the show with Owls and birdies.  She's smarter than that Brendan. 

The rest of our afternoon was spent with Monica and baby Connor.  He cracks me up.  Pull a camera out and he'll instantly smile for you.  He should be a baby model.

We also made a trip to the cemetery to water my dad's flowers.  This is quickly turning into the kids favorite activity.  They just don't water my dad's, they water all the flowers around my dad.  We also made an exciting discovering while putting a hose away.

We watched a killdeer doing his "injury-feigning" display.  He/She lying on the ground with a wing out and flopping about.  This is used as a distraction method because you are near their nest or young.  It turns out about 2 feet in front of us in someone's flowers was their nest with four eggs.  This will be a great lesson for Brendan and birds:)

On the agenda for the first full day of summer vacation is Brendan's first t-ball practice and hanging out with my mom.
