"Kids Choice: Dalton~Go to an Arcade"

Day 20: Dalton's Choice...Go to the Arcade

Dalton, the video game king.....
Big surprise he wanted to go to an arcade. I think he could have been a little more creative. They did have fun though. We went to the "game room" in the mall and spent a little time there before I had to go to work.

"Kids Choice: Chasyn~Bowling"

Day 19: Chasyn's Choice...Bowling

http://www.kidsbowlfree.com/

This week is kids choice week, so we are going oldest to youngest.  I had them write down their top three choices and I would pick from the list.  Today we are going bowling.  I thought that was a great idea, and it would give us a chance to use our free bowling coupons for the first time this summer.  Go to kidsbowlfree.com and sign up. Its free and easy! All kids under 18 bowl for free all summer long, 2 games per day, everyday.  This is a huge bargin for our family due to the sheer size of our family. You can also buy a discount pass for up to three adults if the adults want to bowl too.  All we had to pay was shoe rental, it only cost me $8.00. The kids love bowling so this is something we can do all summer long and it is super affordable.

"Mom's Choice: Write a Play"

Day 18: Start to write a play and perform it later in the summer

It's Monday, June 11th, and we decided that this week we would do "Kids choice", starting with the oldest (ME...ha ha ha!!).  Today is "Mom's Choice."  I told the kids we were cleaning...they didn't appreciate that. While we did get some cleaning done, I also told them that we would be performing a play later on in the summer and that we were going to write it, act it out, and video tape it for everyone to see.  At first the boys weren't too thrilled with the idea, but once they got their creative juices flowing, they started to come up with silly ideas. Maisy loves this kind of thing, it's right up her alley.
So, armed with a paper and pencil, I had them all write down their ideas and characters. I think we might do a mash-up of all their ideas and make one play out of all their plays. It will take a little work, but I think it will be cute if they all cooperate :)

WISH US LUCK~ LOVE THE FRITCH CLAN

"Reese's S'mores/Night Swimming" ~ "Glow in the Dark Bubbles"

Day 16: Try a new kind of S'more (Reese's S'mores)/Night Swimming & Day 17: Glow in the Dark Bubbles

Day 16:  We had a busy, fun filled day today!!  We went to the Farmer's Market in the morning, I love the Farmer's Market.  And we got a lot done outside today.  We had so many things going on today that we didn't get to do everything, we missed my nephew's graduation party :(
It was such a gorgeous day out today, the weather was perfect! We ended our day with a campfire and decided we would try something new...Reeses Peanut Butter Cup S'mores.

Everyone had a fun time making S'mores and sitting around the campfire :)

Later, we decided to go 'night swimming'.  It was really warm out and the kids just loved the idea, they had a blast!!

"Watermelon Eating Contest"

Day 14: Outdoor Painting Project & Day 15: Watermelon Eating Contest

Day 14....This particular morning was a was a busy one for us and I had to work in the afternoon. We have been working on some big projects outside this summer. We are adding a chicken coop this year and the kids will be helping us raise chickens for eggs. We are also getting some goats. We have been updating our shed and have a lot of painting and other things to do, so Dad asked if the kids would like to help paint. 
Today we started to paint the lattice that Dad and Grandpa Terry put up...

"Fitness in the Park"

Day 13: Tried out the new outdoor fitness equiptment at Lakeside Park.


Today we started out with a different idea, but when we got to Lakeside Park we discovered they added some new equiptment, what a nice surprise!!  So we decided to save our idea for today for another day and spend the morning in the park "working out."

  Have A Wonderful Day ~ The Fritch Clan :)
