Well, it is official! Technology repels me and summer is here and already our schedule is crazy. Most of you know that I am the queen of free summer activities for the kids. Here is a little list that I put together for other cheap and fun things to do in the Charlotte area: http://www.socratesacademy.us/up-to-grade-level-websites/third-grade/announcements.aspx. Just click on the "summer fun" link on the page and you should be able to find something to do with your kids.
Since Allie and Heath were off at Camp Kids Jam with church, Brianna and I got to do a few things together. We went uptown (and walked a ton!) and had lunch with Auntie M. Then we were off to Imaginon for the Castles and Dragons exhibit. It was great fun! We were going to audition for American Idol, but Brianna was hungry and wanted to visit with Auntie M. Instead, we just sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" all the way up Trade Street. I think that we entertained a few people along the way.
We took a picnic lunch to the park and walked along all of the trails until we found a table in the shade. Once again, we sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" while we ate. We found the ball fields (behind the park) and we were able to fly our kite! This was exciting because the first kite we bought was a bust. We were so happy with our purchase and the kite's flying ability, we went back to Target and got a second kite for Allie.
Bri and I visited the Mint Hill Library for the Reedy Creek Nature Center presentation. Brianna had a blast learning about nocturnal animals. She really enjoyed Popcorn. No they did not serve snacks, he was the corn snake that Ms. Heather brought from the nature center.
Today we learned that Michael's Arts and Crafts and Barnes and Noble also have there summer programs up and running. We can hardly wait to get started! Now all we need is for Allie and Heath to return from camp and join in the fun!
