This week, my husband took a week off of work, and we had STAYCATION vacation.
Here are my daughters' top picks of the week:
1.
Riding the Waves at the Oceanfront. As my six year old put it, "It's what I do for a living...ride the waves!"
2.
Meeting new friends at the beach.
3.
Sanding and painting the bunk bed with Daddy.
4.
Playing with our friends, C & J, on the big green slide at their swim club.
5.
Eating hamburgers with ketchup.
6.
Having fun with Daddy.
7.
For more Quick Takes, see Jennfier at the Conversion Diary!
Have a great weekend, my friends!
We love staycations! Always a treat when Daddy is home!

I like that they are helping with their bunkbeds-- it will make it more fun for them, and they will appreciate them more. Have you seen Soul Surfer? My mom says it is really good (and PG)! It's an inspirational story about a young girl who surfs, loses her arm in a shark attack, and then overcomes the odds to keep surfing. Maybe when the girls are older...!

Sometimes it is the best to stay home do some day trips and just relax and do very little. That is what we did a few weeks ago and it was very relaxing.

All kids really want is our time. Enjoy!

Bridget and Wendy,
You are absolutely right, the girls loved their time with Daddy!

Sharon,
It has been a very relaxing week. The girls seem to do better in similar surroundings, fortunately, we live on the coast.

staycations are wonderful ... at home, no fuss, no schedules, and simply enjoying one another's company.

How didI miss thsi post? What a fabulous looking Summer week.
BTW you wrote a post a while back (yes I'm creeping your archives) about your coming back to the church. Can you send me that link?

Kyooty,
I think you were on your summer break at the same time.
I am actually doing a witness talk at church, I may post here next week that talks about my return to the Church.
