Summer Fun at Home

Here are a few pictures from the last week in May. It was one of the few weeks we have been home so far this summer.

One day the boys decided to draw with sidewalk chalk.  Then it turned into “let’s color our hair.”  Here are the boys with their chalk hair dos.  Yeah, I would not recommend this.  It was hard to scrub the chalk off their faces and scalp.  Why I have no clue, it’s chalk!?!

Then we had our first water relay.  This was of course inspired by Caleb’s field day.  We used small cups, water guns, and sponges to fill the bottles at the other end.  Towards the end it turned into a water fight!

The boys have also made their own obstacle courses, thanks to “American Ninja Warrior” they saw on TV. They had to race across the yard, climb up their rock walk, run through the tunnel, slide down the slide, jump  three times on the trampoline, and race back to the finish line.  They timed themselves and kept trying to get faster.  No pictures of the “Allen Ninja Warriors”.  Sad smile

Then you have the normal play at the fort and riding bikes.  So far, the few days of summer at home are going well.
