Kipton's Summer of Joy


Summer 2014

This summer was full of fun times.  Since this was my last summer as a 1 child mommy, I wanted to soak up every bit of time I had with Kipton.  We were able to take so many fun trips and outings together.  The first day of summer we went to build a bear with Mollie and made a puppy dog.  We also attempted potty training, which didn't go so well at first but we're working on it.  We took the usual trips to Early Works museum which you call the fishing place.  We went to the train depot where you love to ride on the fire truck and spray out the fire.  We had a new tradition this summer with Mollie where we went to the library every Monday for story and music time.  You absolutely LOVED the library because you got to sing songs, pick out new books, play on the computer, and all kinds of fun things.  We also went to chick-fil-a at least twice a week with Mollie and Christine for playdates.  You favorite of course was the ice cream after every meal and playing on the castle.  We also went to a couple places this summer that had bouncy slides, air hockey tables, pirate ships, and all kinds of kid friendly things.

We had a lot of fun swimming in our pool this year, catching fireflies, fishing in the pond with daddy, painting, and playing outside on the neighborhood friendly swing set that they so graciously let us play on.  :)

Big trips that we took this year besides the beach were a trip to the Atlanta aquarium and a braves game.  This year the braves game was a lot of fun because you are REALLY interested in baseball and are fascinated by Craig.  Also, the aquarium was a lot of fun because you haven't been there in 2 years, so since then you have watched Finding Nemo and loved to point out all the animals in the movie.

Fun things you are doing/saying:

-Let's snuddle (snuggle)
