Outings

Yay for the end of Summer! I say that with a bit of sarcasm. It seems this Summer was come and gone without me even noticing. Last Monday or so I woke up and realized it was not really Summer anymore (all the kids are going back to school) and we had not done our normal Summer activities. With Docs, therapies, sickness and getting used to 3 kids, plus Nevin's broken leg we had not done much. So, this past week I have managed to cram in every activity we would have normally done throughout the Summer. :)

One morning my wonderful friend Melissa called me and said she and Baby Vi suddenly had an open day and why not go to the Botanical Gardens? Of course! We scurried around the house and managed to get over to the Gardens within 30 minutes. (I am still not sure how I did that.) We had a lovely time enjoying nature, cooler weather and 4 wonderful kiddos.

Ryan had to work over the weekend and we snagged Grandma and Grandpa for a trip to the Zoo. We had not seen the new entrance and it was beautiful! The Sea Lion Show was so much fun and Skyler was brave enough to go down by the Sea Lions after the show for pictures. The Stingrays are always a big hit and Nevin really enjoyed watching them splash and stick their fins out of the water.

Today our friend Becky called and invited us to the Transportation Museum. That was another run around and get everyone ready in 45 minutes, crazy morning! Well worth it though. Skyler had a blast with his friends, Nevin got to ring the bell on the train and everyone had a great time in the playroom.

Uncle Matt came and took Skyler for a day. He was one lucky boy to go to the Science Center, McDonald's, visit his other Uncle at work and just hang out. I have managed one trip with all 3 by myself to the Discovery Room a couple weeks ago and it went good.

Preschool starts next week, yay! Nevin gets his cast off next week, yay! We have two hearing tests, 1 NeuroSurg appt., 1 Neurology appt., and a shots day as well all this month. I also realized that Nev and Gav's OT will most likely become my best friend shortly since I will be seeing her 1 or 2 a week for the next 3 years. :) Life is crazy.
