Our Summer Favorites-Post #2

We just got back from a fun week at the beach.  I will post a few pictures in my next post, but this post is another one about some of our favorite things about summer.  I have noticed on a lot of blog post about making a summer "to do" list with your children when they get out of school. 

Cal's was easy: pool, lake, beach, summer camps, make Oreo Balls, make salsa with peppers he picks from the grocery, lots of play dates.  I can say that we have now completed his list (and we still have a month of summer to go).

I forgot to take a picture of the Oreo Balls or the Key Lime Balls we also made.  Did learn working with chocolate is not my favorite and that white chocolate is hard to keep at the right temp.  I pinned the Oreo Balls and Key Lime Balls on Pinterest.

Here is a picture of the salsa made with a jalapeno pepper and a red pepper.  Pretty tasty I have to say.  Both boys liked it.

A favorite of the boys is getting new tennis shoes.  This is not Cal's first choice, so we are going to keep looking for what he wants, but these are his size and will work for school.  Brady my opinionated one is happy with his choice! 

Brady's size 2 feet!

Cal's size 5 feet-learned something......Once a boy gets into a 5.5 they can actually wear a women's size 6.5.  Who Knew???  My husband and the sale's lady did :)

Because it is my birthday week, I went to get a pedicure when we got back from the beach.  The lady wanted to do something a little extra and I let her.

I love beach sunsets.  This is from the 4th of July-waiting on fireworks.
