Gorsch Moment in Time: This and That

This and That

Summer is flying by... the BIG difference this year is that I'm not dreading it being over because I get to be home with my kiddos when it ends! We've been having lots of fun--here are just a few of things we've been enjoying!

We got the bike trailer out. Sadie and Kinnick love going for rides. Unfortunately this summer our whole family can't go together. Macey may be big enough by fall to take a ride!

We've been doing LOTS of swimming! We go to Ms. Jennifer's mostly, but have gone to a few other pools.

Sadie loves wearing Kyra's goggles.

Kinnick LOVES the water! He recently discovered jumping off the side. He also enjoys dunking his head underwater. He's fearless (which make pool time a big more stressful.)

Macey really enjoys the water also!

Sadie is becoming pretty independent this year. Give her some arm floaties or a vest and she's good to go. She also likes practicing with no floaties.

Another summer indulgence that we've been enjoying is ice cream! We love to walk to Time-Out (it's our favorite). There is also another place called Scoops & More--it's a bit further, but still within walking distance. It's next to a fun park that the kids enjoy and they have fat free/sugar free yogurt in 30+ flavors that is really yummy!

We've had LOTS of rain this summer--on one of the warm rainy days, I took the kids outside to play in the rain--I remember loving to do this with my brothers and sisters. Kinnick insisted on wearing his jacket and he and his sister liked taking turns with the umbrella.

Sadie though she needed a jacket AND gloves!

Another fun surprise we've had this summer is that Emma & Eddie moved in across the street! They'll be our neighbors while their house is getting fixed (thanks to the tornado.) While they were getting their rental ready, they stayed at Grand Bear Lodge, a local resort. We went one night to visit them and play at the water park--the kids had a blast!
