Well, Summer is in full swing over here in the Flanagan house. We picked up Chuckles daughter from her mom and are now getting to enjoy the whole summer with her. Kassidy hasn’t spent much time with us over the past three years because we lived in Hawaii but, now that we are here on the mainland she is a lot closer and we can see her more. Ryker likes having two sisters to bug and get them to carry him around. This summer we have so many things that we want to do and I am going to try my best to document them all. Time is so short and I have seen too many families say “I wish I had more pictures” and I have the ability and the skills to document these moments so I am GOING to make sure it’s done and I don’t have that regret.
We have spent a lot of time with Haidyn at her swim meet’s which you can see her first swim meet here. We also have spent mornings hanging out at the park for a bit. Ryker is good for about 30 min’s at a park, then he is off wondering away and trying to go visit the neighborhood. I swear I get in at least 10,000 steps before it’s noon chasing that little guy. Kassidy and Haidyn keep him pretty busy with playing hide and go seek in the house but, after about an hour of that, I am ready to kick them all out!
We went to a park in the Harbour called Lewis Park and had a blast if you live in the Northern Virginia area or are thinking of moving here, this place has it all! We have 2 swimming pools, horse stables, a golf course and a really awesome country club to sit and have a few adult drinks while the kids are doing swimming. We PCS’d to Quantico Virginia and wanted a great neighborhood for the kids to enjoy and be able to really have a great community. I think it’s safe to say we found it and are so happy here!
Here’s to a great summer of blogging and showing you a little about my family and hopefully giving you some ideas on things to do with kids!!
