After touring the zoo(but missing our polar bear friend who is spending some time in Detroit while his crib gets a state of the art re-do), we hit Como Town--the zoo's little amusement park. The kids had a fantastic time running ride to ride and getting their thrills! It was sweaty hot, but it seemed most people were sticking with the zoo--most rides the kids were able to walk right on, with little to no line, which was fantastic with the heat!
It seems we've crammed a whole lot of summer fun into the last month--Grandpa Rob came for a visit, we took a little trip to Duluth, Abby went to Valley Fair with DuMonts, the circus, the zoo, movies, eating out, lots of fireworks...just a whole lot of running and being busy. While it's so fun, and we're making lots of memories, and I'm so grateful we're able to give our kids these fun times and experiences, a very large part of me (and the kids too) is craving the rhythm and routine of being home.
Our curriculum from Sonlight arrived last week--it's beautiful, and we're ready to dive in tomorrow. We're set for a week of pulling in, a refresher course on minding our manners, remembering that not every day requires a fancy adventure or sugary treat. It's time to point the kids back to the basics of being content at home, relishing routine and rest.
So. I'm looking forward to the updates this week being homey and peaceful...I hope your week's beginning is pleasant and your hearts are content!
