Biking: Now that Asher can ride his bike with no training wheels it is his FAVORITE thing to do. He begs us to let him ride up and down the sidewalk or to take him to the church parking lot so that he can have a little more space than our driveway allows. He even made a new friend there that likes to join us whenever he sees Asher riding around from his house!
Not only does Asher get to ride around the parking lot whenever we have time, but Eric let him ride his bike with him (& Avery in the trailer) all the way to Meijer this weekend! I was skeptical and stayed close to my phone, thinking I'd have to pick them up but Asher made it the whole way there and back with only one wipe out (in a puddle)! He was so proud of himself and we were very proud of him! I can't say I know many four year olds that have ridden 5 miles round trip before!
Tree Climbing: Another new thing that Asher can do is climb into our Magnolia tree. Therefore, when he isn't riding his bike he can often be found up in the tree...and Avery can often be found under it, desperately searching for a way to get up there as well!

Outta Sight Kite Flight: One of our favorite annual summer activities is the kite festival in Kenosha. It isn't anything majorly exciting, but it is a fun way to spend a few hours on a summer day. On Saturday, after a busy morning and a stormy early afternoon, it turned out to be the perfect way to end the day. After the storms moved out, it was gorgeous outside with bright sun and perfect kite-flying wind. We had a great time flying our little kites, checking out the other kites on site, savoring snow cones and popping bubbles!

Hammock Relaxin': With summer, the hammock is now another thing that can often be found in our yard and when the weather is nice, Asher's favorite thing to do is read bedtime stories in it outside. The only problem is that there is only one and the hammock story is audible and visible through Avery's bedroom windows.
Water Play: How can you have summer without fun in the water? You can't. Our pool may be tiny, but that doesn't stop the boys from having a blast in the water when the weather is HOT.

Summer Treats: Playing in the water isn't the only way to cool down, we also enjoyed some froze treats this weekend!!
So, that was our week (A Team 141)...a great week to start off the summer! :) The only thing that wasn't so great this week was our spider incident...
After a rough night of sleep one night, the next day started with Asher rushing into my room and over to my bed with something to show me exclaiming, "Momma, I found a Charlotte!!" Then he looked into his hands (which were directly over my side of the bed) and says, "where'd it go?"
