We love to have fun and it seems like my kids love projects. Some projects are clean and calm while other’s are messy. My children seem to enjoy the messy projects the best! I think these messy projects will be great for outdoor Summer fun. This post is part of a Top 10 Summer posts series so be sure to scroll all the way day for more incredible Summer fun ideas!

Are you considering a Staycation to Miami County, Ohio? Maybe you need some Staycation Ideas. If do then you won’t want to miss these hidden gems that our family has enjoyed. We just recently visited all of these places to bring you the best and most current information for you to enjoy. There’s also a Summer Photo Challenge hosted by Miami County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau that we are also taking part in and so can anyone who visits Miami County.

This year we took our first official vacation as a family with four children. Yes, we survived. Yes, we had fun and had a few unexpected things happen along the way. You can plan all you want for a family vacation and things still happen.
Princess got sick on the way to Deer Creek Lodge. We had some things to pick up along the way and spent an extra hour in the car after getting breakfast at McDonald’s and stopping at Walmart. The route we choose to go to Deer Creek was a lot more hilly and curvy then we expected. Car sickness usually isn’t a problem but the van we were driving was having trouble with air circulation.

When was the last time you flew a kite? Have you ever made your own kite? Do you remember the words and tune to that song from Mary Poppins? “Let’s Go Fly a Kite Up in the Atmosphere…” Now that Spring is here our weather has been great for kite flying. Our local parks department relies on this great weather for their annual Kreature Kite Fly event.
My phone was almost dead and without WiFi it dies even quicker so I only took a few pictures. I will be relying on my hubby’s pics as well as a friend, Doug Fosnight, who takes the most spectacular pictures!

Am I the only one that dreams of the glorious adventures to be had during Summer reading time? I consider myself a reader although not very avid anymore. I guess you could say that 4 children can take up a lot of the “spare reading” time. But this Summer I want to read each day just like I expect my children to do.
I am a big time planner and get all giddy doing so, but sometimes fail to execute. This Summer I vow to follow through and shake things up a bit. For example my children have never participated in Storytime at the library. (Long detailed/complicated nasty story I will spare the details!) During the Summer I noticed more relaxed “rules” for Storytime which may just allow us to participate with all 4 children! Of course the older ones may be bored but the little guys will love it! (updated… my younger boys did enjoy a session of storytime at our local library when the librarians offered an older kids group!)
I have a few tricks up my sleeve to help us reach some Summer reading goals. I will share some ideas I plan to implement to make Summer Reading fun and worthwhile!
