It's SUMMER!!!!

The first weekend of June brought us our first REAL summer weekend, complete with 90+ degree temps, a lovely river beach, and the opportunity to test our now one year older little boys on our "river schedule". We consider our river beach our front yard. We really desire to occupy and live on our river beach as much as possible during the summer months. For one, well, it is paradise really, even if it is a hike away from the comforts of home! And TWO, it is hot here! And no air conditioning means you use water to cool off, be it a pool or river, it is SO much nicer next to a body of water....
So.....as any family with little ones knows, you have to have some sort of a schedule with little people. Naps, meals, and such. Our beach is a little hike away from our home. Our home with the littles beds, rooms where doors can be shut, etc. So, introduce for 2013, NO NAP FOR FORREST...This is a BIG deal. He can still sleep 3 hours during his afternoon nap time. This kid goes nonstop. But this long afternoon siestas also yeild pretty late bedtime, in the 9-930 range. So....we are trialing the no nap thing...
AHHHHHHHHH!
And insert in place of Nap.....

Yep, endless water fights at the request of Forrest. Chasing him with a 5 gallon bucket of water all over the beach is no joke...new crossfit workout I'd say...!

And.....
Super early bedtime. 7:22 to be exact today, 8:00 yesterday, both no nap days and both river days.
I think I like it....
Happy summer everyone!
